Software Engineer - Agentic Engineering

Location: Bratislava, SK

P&C Re Engineering is looking for a Software Engineer to help build and evolve the AI and agentic systems behind our reinsurance business. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys shipping production software, is fluent — or eager to become fluent — with agentic coding tools, and wants to work at the frontier of applied AI. It is a contract engagement within one of our business-line squads.

Agentic Engineering builds and runs AI and agentic systems for reinsurance — across Claims, Treaty and Facultative lines — on the platforms the firm already runs. While this is a hands-on engineering role, it rewards a strong product and quality mindset: you will own the software behind a line's AI systems and lead its development toward genuinely agentic systems.

What you will do

As a Software Engineer in the team, you will build, evolve and run the software behind a line's AI systems — the services and workflows that LLM-based agents use. You will work day-to-day with agentic coding harnesses (e.g. Claude Code): breaking work into well-scoped tasks, directing AI agents to build and modify code, and reviewing their output with calibrated scrutiny — spec-first, tested, and accountable for what your agents produce. You will work closely with the Product, Architecture and Domain Delivery organisations.

If you join us, you will for example:

• Maintain, refactor and extend the line's AI applications and services in production
• Build agentic-friendly software: the tools, services and workflows that LLM-based agents call
• Design AI workflows that combine models, prompts, tools, enterprise data, and business logic
• Validate model behavior, outputs, and assumptions from a production and business-use perspective
• Design and maintain evaluation frameworks for AI/LLM systems, including test suites and human evaluation workflows
• Write evaluations and quality checks for agent behavior, and build in grounding and assurance
• Ensure reliability, scalability, cost control, and latency optimization
• Help bring new agentic systems into production

We are a small, senior and hands-on team working at the frontier of applied AI for reinsurance. Our focus on agentic engineering connects us: we invest in the tools and patterns that let a small team deliver outsized impact, and we expect everyone to share what they learn.

About you

Nobody is perfect and meets 100% of the requirements. If you meet many of the criteria below and are excited to build production AI systems with agentic tooling, we would be happy to meet you.

In order to be successful in the role, you bring:

• Strong software engineering: a modern language (Python, TypeScript, or Java / Kotlin), clean code, automated testing, CI/CD
• A Forward Deployed Engineer mindset — a desire to understand the business problem, the impact the solution makes, and to drive pragmatic decisions towards realising it
• API / service / integration engineering
• Familiarity with LLM application patterns (prompting, retrieval-augmented generation, tool / function calling) and an appetite for agentic development
• Comfort working with agentic coding harnesses (e.g. Claude Code) — directing AI agents and reviewing generated code — and in a Linux / cloud environment
• The ability to pick up and improve an existing codebase
• Exposure to Data Science methods in validating AI models

It is a strong plus if you also have:

• Hands-on agentic / LLM application development (agent loops, evaluations, tool design)
• Experience with Palantir Foundry / AIP (valued, not required)
• Insurance or reinsurance domain exposure
• Experience with cloud AI services (e.g. Azure AI)

Even if you do not tick every box, but are eager to grow into this role and work at the frontier of agentic engineering, we encourage you to apply.

Thank you for taking the time to read our job advertisement. We look forward to getting to know you.
