LTS is seeking a Lead Agent Engineer to join a small, senior engineering team applying frontier AI to one of the most consequential legacy systems still running in production today.

Company: LTS

Role: Lead Agent Engineer

Location: United States - Remote

Experience:

5 years of professional software engineering experience
Has shipped at least one production agent (real users, real failure modes)

Key Skills:

TypeScript
Python
tool use
MCP
evals
RAG
streaming
multi-agent coordination

Qualification:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

Role Focus:

Own the agent layer of the platform — architecture, prompts, tool surfaces, multi-agent orchestration, and the eval loop
Set the technical ceiling for the platform’s core capabilities: translation accuracy, dependency-map correctness, hallucination control
Drive translation and dependency-mapping accuracy across an unfamiliar legacy paradigm
Take on capability bets that don’t show up on most roadmaps yet — agent work at the frontier of code understanding
Drive the prompt-and-eval iteration cycle in partnership with the RAG & Eval Engineer
Write production agent code daily; subagents and multi-agent workflows are your normal way of working
Establish foundations the rest of the team builds against — agent architecture, eval loop, prompt-and-tool patterns, multi-agent topology

Nice to have:

Tooling around Claude or comparable frontier models at scale
Code-understanding agent work — translation, refactoring, test generation, dependency analysis
Background in compilers, program analysis, or static/dynamic code understanding
Open-source contributions to agent frameworks, MCP servers, or eval harnesses
Legacy-language or legacy-system exposure
Public technical writing or conference talks on production agent work
Healthcare IT or legacy modernization domain experience

Other:

The opportunity to support high visibility federal missions in IT and healthcare
A culture that values innovation, growth, collaboration, and quality
Access to cutting-edge tools and technologies
Comprehensive benefits for you and your family
A career path that rewards ambition and performance
