Software Engineer III - Agentic Acceleration Group

We are looking for a Software Engineer III to join our Agentic Acceleration Group and help build and scale agentic AI capabilities on Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK) and other enterprise agentic platforms. This role provides an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge agentic AI systems, intelligent automation workflows, and impactful software solutions used by enterprises and users worldwide. As a Software Engineer III, you will own the development of agent-powered features and projects, contribute to technical design decisions, and help establish modern agent development practices. You will be responsible for the design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance of complex agentic systems built on established AI platforms, working collaboratively with product, architecture, and engineering partners.

Responsibilities

Agent Development: Design, build, test, and deploy production-grade AI agents using Google ADK and other agentic platforms such as the Anthropic Claude SDK and LangGraph. Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code for agent workflows, tool integrations, and multi-agent orchestration.
Platform Integration: Build agents that integrate with enterprise systems through tools, APIs, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Implement custom tools, skills, and plugins that extend agent capabilities across UKG's HCM platform.
Feature and Project Delivery: Own execution and delivery of agent-powered features and projects, working with product management and engineering partners to clarify requirements, manage priorities and timelines, and deliver high-quality results.
Technical Design: Participate in design reviews with peers, architects, and stakeholders. Contribute to the design of complex agentic systems and applications, including multi-agent coordination patterns, task delegation workflows, and agent communication protocols, with attention to performance, scalability, reliability, and maintainability.
Code Review and Engineering Practices: Review code developed by other engineers, provide constructive feedback, and help maintain a high bar for technical excellence, including clean coding practices, appropriate design patterns, unit testing, and observability built from the ground up.
Service Health and Quality: Maintain the health and quality of agent-powered services by proactively identifying and addressing issues. Use service health indicators, agent performance metrics such as task success rates, latency, and cost, and telemetry to recommend improvements. Conduct root cause analysis for agent failures and help implement measures to prevent recurrence.
Agent Operations: Support agent deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management. Apply practices for agent versioning, cost monitoring, performance optimization, and iterative improvement. Build observability into agent workflows, including execution tracing, decision logging, and failure analysis.
Testing and Evaluation: Build testable agents and agentic systems; define and automate tests using appropriate frameworks. Apply agent-specific testing strategies, including prompt validation, agent evaluation, multi-step workflow testing, tool invocation testing, tool validation, and adversarial scenario testing.
DevOps Model: Take ownership across the software lifecycle-from collaborating with product management on requirements through design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance of software in production.
Documentation and Knowledge Sharing: Document new features, enhancements, fixes, agent behaviors, and operational procedures. Share knowledge with teammates and contribute to training materials and team practices.
Mentorship and Collaboration: Collaborate effectively across engineering and product teams and provide technical guidance to less-experienced engineers on agent development, tool integrations, testing, observability, and agent safety practices.
Innovation: Stay current with emerging agentic AI technologies and platforms-including Google ADK, Anthropic Claude SDK, LangGraph, AutoGen, and CrewAI-and evaluate or adopt new capabilities, integrations, and orchestration patterns where they improve productivity, quality, or customer value.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
4+ years of professional software development experience, with hands-on experience building LLM-powered applications or agentic AI systems.
Deep expertise in one or more programming languages such as Python, Java, C#, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
Experience building or contributing to production applications using platforms such as Google ADK, Anthropic Claude SDK, LangChain, LangGraph, or similar agentic frameworks.
Understanding of agent orchestration patterns, tool-use architectures, prompt and context engineering, and agent design patterns such as ReAct and multi-agent collaboration.
Experience integrating software or agents with enterprise systems through APIs, tools, and protocols such as REST APIs, MCP, and function calling.
Experience with software architecture and design patterns, including the ability to contribute to scalable, reliable agentic systems in a DevOps model.
Experience delivering complex software features or projects and working effectively with product, architecture, and engineering stakeholders.
Proficiency with cloud technologies such as GCP (including Vertex AI and Google ADK), Azure (including Azure OpenAI), or AWS (including Bedrock), and version control systems such as GitHub.
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering high-quality agent-powered solutions.
Experience building telemetry and observability for software or agentic systems, including execution tracing, decision logging, cost monitoring, or success-rate tracking.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts, collaborate in a team environment, and incorporate feedback into design and implementation decisions.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with agent evaluation frameworks, prompt testing, tool validation, or adversarial testing.
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and production observability tools.
Knowledge of agile software development methodologies.
Familiarity with developing accessible technologies.
Dedicated to diversity and inclusion initiatives.

About the role

This is a Mid Level role in the Technology field (Data, analytics and AI) at UKG. Mid-level roles usually expect some years of relevant experience and the ability to work with limited supervision.

We could not match this job title to one occupation in the official wage statistics, so no pay estimate is shown. Pay is not in the source listing; ask the employer for the range and compare in the 240 job niches.

Does the pay work here? (estimate)

Gross salary a year Filing State income tax rate %

Estimate for a wage earner: 2026 federal brackets and standard deduction (IRS), Social Security 6.2% up to $184,500, Medicare 1.45% (+0.9% above $200,000 single / $250,000 married), and a state rate you set; set your own state tax rate.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

The city

The job is in Seattle, WA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Seattle compares. Among the 80 largest places in Washington, Seattle is #1 by population, #76 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #8 for college degrees (#1 = most), #8 for remote work (#1 = most). Its county, King County, is #1 of 39 counties for average pay ($132,279).

The place in numbers

Seattle has 754,195 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 9.6% of the population of Washington. It covers 84 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 8,979 people per square mile. The median age is 35.6, 7% younger than the state median (35.6 against 38.3).

Housing

The median gross rent is $2,030 a month (rent plus utilities), 15% above the state median ($2,030 against $1,760). Over a year that is 19.7% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $938,600, which is 7.6 times the median household income ($123,860); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 43.7% of households own their home, 31% below the state average (43.7% against 63.8%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA metropolitan area has 2,086,210 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $72,610 a year, 42% above the national median ($72,610 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (212,900 jobs, median $59,660); business and financial operations (201,160 jobs, median $101,950); computer and mathematical (194,970 jobs, median $156,000). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (2.8 times) and architecture and engineering (1.4 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($168,110) and computer and mathematical ($156,000). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of King County was 4.8%. 74.0% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in King County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 36.6% drive alone, 11.9% use public transit, 8.1% walk, 34.8% work from home. 13.9% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 18% below the state average (13.9% against 16.9%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

68.5% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 73% above the state share (68.5% against 39.6%). 20.1% of residents were born outside the United States, 31% above the state share (20.1% against 15.4%). The poverty rate is 9.9%, about the same as the state rate (9.9% against 9.9%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 65°F (18.3°C), and the coolest is Dec at 39°F (3.8°C). About 1,230 mm (48 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Nov is the wettest month (188 mm) and Jul the driest (19 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: Mercer Island (7 miles, rent 23% higher); Bainbridge Island (7 miles, rent 8% higher); Kirkland (9 miles, rent 18% higher); Bellevue (9 miles, rent 27% higher). Rent differences are against Seattle; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
