AI Agent Ops Engineer

Ho Chi Minh - Viet Nam


Product

  • AI

#Agent Engineering & operation Design, build, and maintain production-grade AI agent systems, including: context engineering and instruction architecture, prompt hardening and safe execution boundaries, tool integrations and multi-step orchestration, memory strategies and reliability patterns. Own the full agent lifecycle: prototype → evaluate → deploy → monitor → iterate. Build and maintain an evaluation pipeline to measure agent quality, catch regressions, and enforce deployment gates (golden datasets, scenario suites, automated checks). Instrument agents and agent platforms for production observability: structured logging, tracing, and metrics; latency and cost monitoring; tool-call success rates and failure analysis. Define operational readiness standards including: rollback criteria, incident response playbooks, recovery paths for common failure modes.#Team Enablement & Coaching Embed with product engineering teams to identify high-value use cases ready for agent automation. We will be operating in a Central Agent Ops role enabling Ai product builders through AI enablers. Translate business workflows into agent-executable tasks with clear: contact boundaries/interfaces, assumptions and inputs/outputs, failure modes and safe fallbacks. Deliver targeted coaching to engineers on: context engineering best practices, harness design and regression testing patterns, agent skill design and tool-contract discipline. Reduce onboarding time for teams adopting AI capabilities-from first conversation to a production-ready agent. Train product engineers to extend and maintain agent skills independently.#Standards & Knowledge operations Author and maintain org-level standards for agents, including: naming conventions, context file structures and ownership rules, skill interface contracts (inputs/outputs, invariants, error handling), evaluation criteria and release quality bars. Establish and enforce "repo-as-discipline" practices so agent knowledge is: versioned, reviewable, discoverable, reusable; not trapped in prompt snippets or individual heads. Build and grow a shared agent skills library that teams can reuse and extend. Track and aggregate AI tooling/framework updates and external best practices, serving as a central intake so product teams don't each have to follow the entire AI landscape. Run internal knowledge-sharing sessions, showcases, and retrospectives to propagate learnings efficiently.
