Jora New Zealand will close on 9th September 2026. Thank you for being with us, we are cheering you on as you continue your career journey. Enterprise Technology Recruitment – Auckland, North Island Build the intelligence layer behind a next-generation financial modelling platform. Our client is developing an AI-powered financial modelling platform with an established Excel-based interface. They are looking for an AI Orchestration Engineer to design and build the backend agent orchestration layer. This is not a frontend AI integration role . The focus is on creating sophisticated agent workflows that can anticipate what needs to happen next as each agent completes its task. The role You'll design orchestration workflows where: Agent completes task -> results are assessed -> next requirement is identified -> appropriate agent/tool is deployed -> process continues The challenge is moving beyond fixed, sequential workflows towards dynamic orchestration that understands dependencies and determines what needs to happen next. You'll work across: Multi-agent orchestration and workflow design Agent planning, task decomposition and handoffs State, context and dependency management LLM and tool integration Dynamic and conditional workflows Error handling, recovery and observability Production-quality backend engineering What we're looking for Strong backend engineering experience Proven experience building AI agent orchestration systems Strong understanding of multi-agent architectures and workflow orchestration Experience with an orchestration framework such as LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, Microsoft Agent Framework, AutoGen, LlamaIndex, Temporal or equivalent Strong API, asynchronous and distributed-systems experience Ability to work with rapidly changing AI technologies Framework is not important — orchestration expertise is. The client currently uses Claude but expects the underlying AI technology to evolve, so candidates need to understand the principles rather than be tied to a particular vendor. Customer-facing This is not a purely technical role. You'll occasionally join customer video calls , understand their requirements and help translate complex problems into practical AI solutions. If you're a backend engineer who has moved beyond simply integrating LLMs and is excited by the challenge of designing intelligent, dynamic agent orchestration , this is an opportunity to work on a genuinely cutting-edge problem. #J-18808-Ljbffr
