Requirements

Mission:

Sidetrade is launching a brand new, high-impact engineering initiative to build a company-wide platform for internal autonomous agents.
These agents will fundamentally change how every business function operates, from Customer Success, Finance, Product, Sales and Operations, by automating high-volume workflows through intelligent, end-to-end systems.

As an AI Engineer, you will design, architect and deploy these autonomous agents at scale. This is real production engineering: agents that plan, reason, orchestrate tools, call APIs, manage state and execute reliably inside a live enterprise environment.

You will be part of the founding team shaping this initiative from day one. You will define the architecture, select the frameworks, and establish the engineering patterns that will power Sidetrade’s internal agent platform for years. The agents you build will be used daily across the organisation and will deliver measurable impact immediately.

This is a rare greenfield opportunity. If you are excited by modern agent frameworks and want to build next generation agentic systems that change how a company operates you will thrive here.

You will operate at the intersection of AI engineering, workflow design, process intelligence and automation. This role gives you the runway to build something transformational and to work at the forefront of applied enterprise AI within a small, senior and high ownership team.

What you'll be doing:

Build and deploy internal AI agents

  • Design and develop autonomous agents using frameworks such as Kubiya, Agno, CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph, Rasa, Botpress or similar
  • You will build agents that reason, call tools and APIs, work with internal data and complete real operational tasks end to end

Translate business workflows into agent behaviour

  • Partner with business teams to understand how work is done and where automation creates the most value
  • Turn these workflows into clear agent behaviours: when the agent should trigger, which data it needs, what actions it performs and what output it must deliver

Orchestrate agents using automation tools

  • Use tools like n8n (or equivalents) to coordinate agent steps, route data, manage inputs and outputs, and connect agents to the right systems across the organisation

Integrate agents with enterprise systems

  • Connect agents to the systems teams use every day; CRM, ticketing, analytics, product logs, finance tools, operational platforms and internal APIs
  • Ensure smooth data flow, solid error handling and predictable execution

Run, monitor and iterate agents in production

  • Deploy agents internally, observe how they’re used and iterate based on performance, reliability and user feedback
  • Work closely with a dedicated PMO/Program Lead for prioritisation and delivery

Influence the technical direction of internal agents at Sidetrade

  • Because this initiative is brand new, you will help shape how we design, document and scale internal agents across departments
  • Stay ahead of the curve on agent frameworks, LLM orchestration patterns and emerging best practices

What You'll Need to be Successful 

Core Skills (Must-Have)

  • Minimum one year of hands-on experience building AI agents or agentic workflows in production, not prototypes
  • Proficiency with at least one modern agent framework: n8n / Beam AI / Langflow or an equivalent production-grade agent stack
  • Ability to translate real business processes into structured agent behaviours: triggers, tool use, reasoning loops, memory/state models
  • Solid engineering fundamentals, ideally Python: APIs, data manipulation, error handling, testing
  • Understanding of multi-step reasoning, planning, tool orchestration, context propagation and state management
  • Experience integrating agents with enterprise systems (APIs, CRMs, ERPs, ticketing, logs, internal services)
  • Clear thinking around agent autonomy boundaries, failure modes, fallback logic, and safe deployment in business-critical environments
  • Experience running and maintaining agents in production environments; understanding key operability & monitoring requirements

Nice to Have:

  • Experience building agents in Pydantic / Agno / Crew or equivalent
  • Experience with workflow orchestration tools: Airflow / Temporal / Zapier or equivalent
  • Experience in a tech, AI or B2B SaaS environment
  • Familiarity with containerised deployment, self-hosted stacks or internal infrastructure
  • Exposure to RAG pipelines, vector stores or embedding search

At Sidetrade, we cultivate a multicultural environment that fuels innovation. With over 22 nationalities represented, we strongly value diversity, gender equality, inclusivity, and fairness. As an equal opportunity employer, we reject all forms of discrimination and harassment. Your unique contributions are celebrated, driving collective success in our inclusive workplace.
