Sr Python Developer

join a small, high-output team building enterprise-grade AI agent systems using the Anthropic Claude API and Claude Code. Your primary focus is two programs: Our AI platform initiative, and a portfolio of 29\+ PoCs spanning AI/ML automation, business process modernization, cloud infrastructure re-engineering, and specialized platform tooling. Both programs are active and shipping. This is not a role for someone who wants to prompt-tune existing tools. You will be writing and owning code that runs in production, integrating with Jira, Confluence, Dynatrace, and internal systems, and solving the hard problems that come after the demo works.
