Job Description: Are you the engineer who sets where an agentic platform is going, proves the next wave of technology by building it, and lifts every engineer around you—while still shipping the hardest parts yourself? This role exists to do three things at once: architect the platform’s future state, bring cutting-edge and market-trending technology into Pearson through POCs and MVPs, and mentor the engineers who build alongside you.
Join our AgentOps Engineering team and shape the platform that powers agent crews running across the business. It’s a hands-on Staff-level role balanced across building, technical leadership, and proving new technology. You’ll define where orchestration, runtime, skills, and evaluation are heading—and prove your decisions with reference implementations and working prototypes, not just diagrams. Through this, you’ll help teams across Pearson put dependable AI agents to work, and help people realize the lives they imagine through learning.
