- •Key Responsibilities Design and build the execution primitives for AI workflows in the Kestra engine Build and maintain the plugins that connect Kestra to LLM providers and agent frameworks Turn real agent use cases into reusable blueprints, together with the product team Keep AI executions observable and debuggable to the same standard as the rest of Kestra Requirements A strong Java background.
