Task(monday/agents)
Jul 2026 – now
Senior Software Engineer, monday.com. Account Controls team, Enterprise group, inside monday.com’s AI work platform.
- teams: 2
- engineers: 10
- Led the rollout of agentic workflows that design, break down, implement and review production software. Delivery sped up, PR cycle times fell and production incidents dropped.
- Designed multi-step agent workflows: agents split work into tasks, implement them and hand off to AI review. CI gates check all model-generated code before merge; a review agent auto-approves low-risk PRs and routes the rest to a human.
- Built shared context for the agents (skills, codebase conventions, project memory) so output stays consistent across engineers and repositories.
- Build enterprise account controls for monday.com’s largest customers: permissions, access, governance and visibility.
