Senior Staff Software Engineer - AI/ML - Veza

The Access AI team is the customer-obsessed engineering group building the agentic AI and enterprise-scale harness platform that powers agents for Access Management across all Identity Security Products. We build AI as foundational platform infrastructure — prioritizing robustness, performance, safety, and real-world customer impact at scale. Types of problems you’ll get to work on You will architect, build, and operate production-grade agentic AI systems—autonomous agents that reason over enterprise data and execute mission-critical identity security actions at Fortune 500 scale. As a tier-one technical leader at the intersection of Agent research and large-scale backend systems, you will shape the architectural patterns, scalability guardrails, and strategic vision for autonomous enterprise security.Your core focus areas: Agentic architecture. Design and ship multi-agent systems — orchestration, tool use, planning loops, memory, and failure recovery — that operate reliably in production, not in notebooks. Enterprise-grounded reasoning. Build agents that leverage Access Graph, Access Reviews, and permission and risk data — to make decisions with context no frontier model has on its own. Trust, safety, and governance. Own the guardrails: observability, human-in-the-loop controls, and compliance infrastructure that make autonomous systems safe to deploy at scale. Retrieval and grounding. Work closely with our different product teams, platform and graph teams to ensure agents are grounded in accurate, low-latency retrieval — RAG pipelines, semantic search, re-ranking, and evaluation — as a critical dependency of agentic quality. Model integration and evaluation. Integrate frontier models, evaluate trade-offs across cost, latency, and capability for production use cases. Engineering leadership. Raise the technical bar through architecture decisions, code reviews, and coaching — particularly on agentic design patterns and production AI discipline.
