Software Engineer - AI Powered Engineering

IMC Chicago, United States
Software Engineer - AI Powered Engineering
IMC is embedding agentic AI directly into the developer workflow for our production-critical systems. As a member of the Agentic AI engineering team, you'll help build agents, MCP servers, and evaluation loops that make AI-generated code reliable, auditable, and fast to ship. You'll work closely with experienced engineers and platform teams to deliver pragmatic, high-impact AI integrations at scale.

What You'll Do
  • Contribute to the platform by implementing agents, MCP servers, and supporting services that propose and apply changes to large codebases
  • Assist in developing retrieval systems that give AI agents and developers accurate, up-to-date context from large codebases and design artifacts
  • Help measure and improve AI-generated changes by building compile/test/evaluate pipelines (static analysis, style and safety checks, performance gates, code review)
  • Apply IMC's best practices in concurrency, telemetry, configuration hygiene, and performance-sensitive code paths to ensure AI outputs are reliable and idiomatic
  • Collaborate with teammates on experiments to evaluate and improve AI-driven workflows

What You Bring
  • BS+ in Computer Science (or related) with strong fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, systems)
  • Proficiency in a high-level programming language (Java or Python preferred)
  • Experience contributing to developer-facing or production systems
  • Curiosity and eagerness to learn about AI/LLM application patterns, even if you haven't worked closely with them yet
  • Strong communication skills; comfortable working with engineers in a fast, collaborative environment

Nice to Have
  • Exposure to AI tools or workflows (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, or similar)
  • Experience with retrieval systems (vector search, embeddings, or hybrid approaches)
  • Familiarity with compiler/static analysis or large-scale refactoring tools
  • Interest in customizing or fine-tuning open-weight models
  • Knowledge of model-serving or evaluation infrastructure

Why This Role at IMC
  • Impact at scale: Your work will help bring AI directly into production developer workflows
  • Growth: You'll gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI systems while learning from specialists in AI, systems, and developer productivity
  • Collaboration: Join a team that works closely across engineering disciplines to solve high-value, pragmatic problems
