Senior AI Agent Engineer
About the Role
Join Planera to build Manny, our AI scheduling assistant, and shape how construction schedulers work with AI on a modern Critical Path Method platform. You will own agent features end to end: designing and evolving the LangGraph/LangChain agent, engineering prompts and tools, integrating LLMs across providers, and holding response quality to a high bar with a real evaluation and observability stack. This is a hands-on applied AI role with a strong software engineering foundation and a focus on reliability, behavior quality, and user impact. You will work directly with the CTO and the lead AI engineer.
