From Agents to Architecture: Introducing Tikal's Agentic Engineer Program

**Date**: Wednesday, December 24, 2025 **Time**: 17:00–18:00 **Location**: Online Webinar \*The webinar will be held in Hebrew The Era of "Just Writing Code" is Over. We are witnessing the most significant split in the engineering workforce in two decades. As Andrew Ng recently noted, the industry is creating a hierarchy. At the top are experienced engineers who have mastered AI: The "Expert Generalists" who can orchestrate systems 10x faster. At the bottom are experienced developers who are "coding like it's 2022," ignoring the shift. For a software engineer with 2-3 years of experience, this is your career inflection point. You know how to write Python. You know how to call an API. But building a reliable, production-grade agentic system requires a new set of muscles. It requires moving from a "developer" mindset to an "orchestrator" mindset. Most developers are stuck in the "prototype trap" building agents that work once but fail in production. In this webinar, we'll introduce **The Agentic Engineer Program**, Tikal's program built from real-world experience shipping production AI systems. You'll see how the program gives you the engineering discipline to become a developer who doesn't just write code, but orchestrates AI systems. **On the Agenda** **17:00-17:05** → **Opening words**// Lior Kanfi, Founder & CEO, Tikal **17:05–17:20** → **The roadmap to becoming an agentic engineer**// Oren Peer, Senior ML Engineer, Tikal "How do I bridge the gap between a standard Mid-Level Engineer and an AI Architect?" Oren will answer this question by introducing The Agentic Engineer Program. This isn't just a syllabus review; it is a career roadmap. The "Danger Zone": Why experienced developers without AI structure are at risk. The Solution: Moving beyond "Vibe Coding" to the Tikal Agentic SDLC, a professional methodology for reliable AI engineering. The Transformation: How this program takes you from scripting isolated tasks to architecting self-healing, multi-agent ecosystems. **17:20–18:00** → **Agent Collaboration Patterns**// Amit Goldstein, Senior Backend Engineer, Tikal Getting one agent to work is simple. Getting multiple agents to collaborate efficiently is where engineering begins. Amit will introduce three collaboration patterns used in production systems, show real code examples, and explain how to choose the right pattern for different scenarios. **About The Agentic Engineer Program** This webinar marks the launch of Tikal’s most advanced training track to date. A 45 hour professional training track that combines hands-on engineering with a structured methodology for building AI native systems. **What You Will Master:** Context Engineering: The physics of LLMs and controlling behavior. The Twelve-Factor Agentic SDLC: A structured playbook for AI development. Agentic RAG & Self-Healing: Building systems that fix their own errors. Production Ops: Security, Governance, and LLMOps with LangFuse. Capstone Project: Design, build, and deploy a real-world multi-agent system. **Is This For You?** This program is designed for software engineers with 2-3 years of professional experience who are at a career inflection point, ready to specialize in agentic AI and become orchestrators of AI-native systems. Prerequisites: Intermediate Python proficiency, practical experience with git and collaborative workflows, and solid understanding of REST APIs and JSON. **Interested in Learning More?** Want more details about The Agentic Engineer Program, enrollment, or prerequisites?
