What We Do

At Goldman Sachs, our Engineers don’t just make things – we make things possible.  Change the world by connecting people and capital with ideas.  Solve the most challenging and pressing engineering problems for our clients.  Join our engineering teams that build massively scalable software and systems, architect low latency infrastructure solutions, proactively guard against cyber threats, and leverage machine learning alongside financial engineering to continuously turn data into action.  Create new businesses, transform finance, and explore a world of opportunity at the speed of markets. Goldman Sachs Engineers are innovators and problem-solvers, building solutions in Artificial Intelligence, risk management, big data, mobile and more.

We are seeking entrepreneurial Agentic Software Engineers to join a newly formed AI Agentic Systems team. This team is tasked with solving firmwide, large-scale compute infrastructure challenges by architecting and deploying autonomous "swarms" of agents. These agents will interface seamlessly with human teams, and complex digital substrates to optimize, analyze, and manage our global technology footprint.

As a founding member of this team, you will help incubate a new paradigm of software engineering—moving beyond static automation to dynamic, goal-oriented agentic systems that operate across the totality of the firm’s business units.

Key Responsibilities 

• Agentic Orchestration: Design and deploy multi-agent systems (swarms) capable of autonomous planning, reasoning, and execution across distributed cloud environments.

• System Integration: Build robust interfaces between AI agents, and human stakeholders to ensure high-fidelity feedback loops and operational transparency.

• Infrastructure at Scale: Develop agentic solutions for complex compute infrastructure problems, including real-time observability, predictive optimization, and automated capacity planning.

• Substrate Development: Contribute to the "agentic substrate"—the underlying platform and tooling that allows agents to securely access data, execute code, and interact with firmwide APIs.

• Cross-Functional Incubation: Partner with diverse business units to identify high-impact use cases for agents, translating ambiguous business needs into technical agentic workflows.

Required Qualifications

• Software Engineering Excellence: Strong proficiency in Python, Go, or C++ with a deep understanding of distributed systems and cloud-native architecture (AWS, Azure, or internal private clouds).

• Agentic Experience: Direct experience deploying LLM-based agents in production environments. Familiarity with frameworks such as LangGraph, AutoGPT, or custom-built orchestration layers.

• Problem-Solving Domains: Proven track record of applying agentic patterns to at least two of the following:

  • Data Analysis: Autonomous synthesis of large-scale datasets.

  • Observability: Self-healing infrastructure and automated root-cause analysis.

  • Optimization: Dynamic resource allocation and cost management.

  • Planning: Multi-step task decomposition and execution in non-deterministic environments.

• Entrepreneurial Mindset: Ability to thrive in a 0-to-1 environment, comfortable with ambiguity, and driven to build systems that have never existed before.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Digital Twin technology and its integration with real-time telemetry.

• Knowledge of Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) or swarm intelligence principles.

• Familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) and other emerging standards for agent-to-tool communication.

• Strong communication skills to bridge the gap between technical agentic logic and human-centric business processes.
