About this role
- This position is open to candidates located in Colombia or Costa Rica only -
Gorilla Logic is looking for a Senior Python and Agentic AI Engineer, who will work with a team of developers, AI engineers, and product stakeholders building production-grade artificial intelligence features for a cybersecurity and GRC assessment platform.
This role will be responsible for developing Python-based AI services that generate customer-specific recommendations, tasks, and findings. These capabilities will be exposed through APIs and consumed by a .NET application. Our environment will require you to combine advanced Python engineering with production LLM development, agentic workflows, retrieval-augmented generation, evaluation, security, and responsible handling of sensitive data.
Responsibilities
• Design and build AI-agent features that generate tailored customer recommendations, tasks, and findings
• Develop production Python services using modern asynchronous Python
• Build secure APIs using FastAPI or a comparable asynchronous Python web framework
• Develop agent workflows using Pydantic AI, LangGraph, or similar frameworks
• Implement tool-calling, structured outputs, and multi-step agent workflows
• Integrate large language model APIs from providers such as Anthropic and OpenAI
• Design, test, and maintain prompts for production AI applications
• Build retrieval-augmented generation pipelines using embeddings, chunking, and vector search
• Design data-ingestion, indexing, retrieval, and context-building workflows
• Develop safeguards to improve AI output accuracy, consistency, and safety
• Evaluate hallucination, accuracy, grounding, and other output-quality risks
• Handle confidential customer information and personally identifiable information responsibly
• Build persistence layers using SQL and an ORM such as SQLAlchemy
• Write unit and integration tests using pytest
• Develop services that can be securely consumed by the .NET application and other internal systems
• Participate in pull-request reviews and continuous integration workflows
• Monitor and optimize AI-service cost, latency, reliability, and performance
• Work closely with internal AI, platform, product, and application engineering teams
• Develop and test services within a Docker-based environment
• Communicate AI behavior, limitations, risks, and technical trade-offs clearly
Technical Requirements
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience
• 5+ years of professional Python development experience
• Strong experience with modern asynchronous Python
• Experience building APIs with FastAPI or a comparable asynchronous Python framework
• Proven experience building and operating production LLM-powered applications
• Experience with agent frameworks such as Pydantic AI, LangGraph, or similar technologies
• Experience implementing tool-calling and structured model outputs
• Strong prompt-engineering experience
• Experience integrating Anthropic, OpenAI, or comparable LLM APIs
• Experience building retrieval-augmented generation solutions
• Strong understanding of embeddings, chunking, retrieval, and vector search
• Experience evaluating AI outputs for accuracy, hallucination, and safety
• Experience implementing AI guardrails and validation mechanisms
• Strong understanding of secure and responsible handling of sensitive data and PII
• Experience with SQL and an ORM such as SQLAlchemy
• Experience writing automated tests using pytest
• Experience with Git pull-request workflows and continuous integration
• Experience with Docker and GitHub Actions or comparable CI technologies
• Strong written communication and asynchronous collaboration skills
• Ability to maintain reasonable daily working-hours overlap with a US-based technical lead
• Ability to independently design and deliver complex AI capabilities
• Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools
• Must have the ability to work in a dynamic and highly collaborative environment
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills
Bonus Skills
• Experience with LLM gateways or proxy tools such as LiteLLM
• Experience with PII detection or anonymization tools such as Microsoft Presidio
• Experience with PostgreSQL and pgvector
• Experience with asynchronous SQLAlchemy
• Experience with Alembic
• Experience with LLM observability, tracing, and evaluation frameworks
• Experience optimizing AI systems for cost, latency, and throughput
• Experience designing APIs consumed by multiple applications
• Experience with conversational user-interface tools such as Chainlit
• Experience in cybersecurity, GRC, fintech, or financial services
