⏰ Time: 17:00–18:00
📍 Location: Online Webinar (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 and 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 will introduce The Agentic Engineer Program, Tikal's program built from real-world experience shipping production AI systems.
You will 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?"
Explore the career roadmap, the risks for experienced developers ignoring AI, the Tikal Agentic SDLC methodology, and the transformation toward architecting multi-agent ecosystems.
17:20-18:00 – Agent Collaboration Patterns // Amit Goldstein, Senior Backend Engineer, Tikal
Learn about three collaboration patterns in production systems, real code examples, and how to choose the right pattern for different scenarios.
