About the role

XtendOps builds AI agents that handle real work for enterprise clients — reading incoming requests, deciding what to do, calling tools across the client's systems, and either acting or preparing work for a human to approve. These agents run against live customer traffic every day.

You will own one or more of them outright: design the flow, build the tools, wire the integrations, ship it, and keep improving it. This is a backend engineering role — we build systems around models, we don't train them.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and ship AI agents end to end, from design through production
  • Design and implement the tools and MCP servers agents call, including schemas and descriptions that models use correctly
  • Integrate third-party APIs and internal services behind those tools — auth, retries, rate limits, idempotency
  • Write and iterate the agent instructions that drive behaviour
  • Configure the agent loop: model selection, turn limits, reasoning effort, tool permissions
  • Debug agent behaviour in production — wrong tool, wrong arguments, no tool call, early stop - Deploy with Docker to cloud runtimes and instrument runs so they can be debugged after the fact
  • Add new features and integrations to live agents without breaking what's already running
  • Explain how an agent works to internal teams and, occasionally, to a client's engineers

About you

  • 3+ years building production backend software, with strong TypeScript and Node.js
  • Hands-on experience building LLM agents that call tools — any framework (Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI, LangChain/LangGraph, Vercel AI SDK, or your own loop)
  • Practical experience with MCP or equivalent tool-integration patterns
  • Solid REST API integration experience against third-party systems
  • Comfortable with Docker and at least one cloud platform (AWS, GCP or Azure)
  • Git, testing and code review as normal working habits
  • Makes decisions and takes initiative. You choose the model, the flow and the tool surface without being told, flag problems nobody has noticed yet, and propose fixes — including to infrastructure you don't own
  • Clear written communication in English

Nice to have

  • Claude Agent SDK or the Anthropic API in production
  • Writing MCP servers, not just consuming them
  • Evaluating LLM output systematically — test sets, regression checks, eval harnesses
  • AWS hands-on: ECS/Fargate, Lambda, IAM, DynamoDB
  • Customer service platforms — Gladly, Zendesk, Salesforce, Amazon Connect
  • Python for data work

Pay: Php120,000.00 - Php180,000.00 per month
