We hire successful builders with founder-like energy who want real impact, accelerated learning, and true ownership. You bring strong role-related expertise and sharp thinking, and you’re motivated by our mission and https://www.airwallex.com/us/operating-principles operating principles. You move fast with good judgment, dig deep with curiosity, and make decisions from first principles, balancing speed and rigor.
You're humble and collaborative; turn zero‑to‑one ideas into real products, and you “get stuff done” end-to-end. You use AI to work smarter and solve problems faster. Here, you’ll tackle complex, high‑visibility problems with exceptional teammates and grow your career as we build the future of global banking. If that sounds like you, let’s build what’s next.
Airwallex’s Infrastructure & Productivity team is on a mission to turn everyday software engineers into superheroes. The team builds and maintains the internal platforms, tooling, and CI/CD infrastructure that power Airwallex’s global engineering organization, serving hundreds of engineers across multiple offices and time zones.
The team is now pioneering a bold new direction: an AI agent ecosystem where goal-oriented agents continuously operate across every repository — automating infrastructure operations, incident response, database management, and DevOps workflows. Built on Quartermaster, our internal agent platform, these agents autonomously plan, reason, and execute multi-step tasks against real infrastructure. You will be joining at the ground floor of this initiative, building the intelligent systems that fundamentally change how infrastructure work gets done at Airwallex.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Infrastructure AI team, you will design, build, and operate goal-oriented AI agents that automate SRE, DevOps, and DBA workflows across Airwallex’s global infrastructure. You won’t be doing operations work yourself — you’ll be building the AI systems that do it. Your agents will autonomously investigate incidents, provision infrastructure, manage databases, execute deployments, and handle the operational tasks that traditionally require human intervention.
You will work on top of Quartermaster, Airwallex’s internal agent platform, building domain-specific agents that interact with real infrastructure tooling (Kubernetes, Terraform, cloud APIs, databases, monitoring systems). This role requires you to think deeply about agent architecture — planning and reasoning loops, tool selection and execution, safety guardrails, human-in-the-loop escalation, and how to make autonomous systems reliable in production infrastructure environments.
This hybrid role is based in Seattle, WA.
Shape the future of infrastructure AI at Airwallex: Contribute to the technical vision for how AI agents will transform infrastructure operations. Stay at the forefront of agentic AI developments and bring new ideas into the team.
Who You Are:
We’re looking for people who meet the minimum requirements for this role. The preferred qualifications are great to have, but are not mandatory:
3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong proficiency in backend languages such as Python, Go, Java, or Kotlin.
Strong system design skills with the ability to architect reliable, safe, and scalable agent systems that interact with production infrastructure.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a track record of working effectively across cross-functional teams in a global environment.
Experience with agent orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or custom agent frameworks) and LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.).
Experience with observability and monitoring systems (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, ELK stack) — either building them or building agents that interact with them.
Experience with database administration or automation (schema migrations, query optimization, backup/recovery) — knowledge that helps build effective DBA agents.
Understanding of SRE practices: incident response, runbooks, postmortems, SLOs/SLIs — the operational domain these agents will automate.
A forward-thinking mindset about where AI agents are headed. You have opinions on agent reliability, safety, evaluation, and the path toward increasingly autonomous infrastructure systems.
