  • Champion reusability and abstraction in everything you build by designing and building modular, well-abstracted components and libraries
  • Build multi-agent systems using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, Claude Agent SDK and Google ADK
  • Integrate with leading LLM and foundation model APIs, including Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex AI, and AWS Bedrock
  • Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, including document ingestion, chunking strategies, embeddings, vector search, and re-ranking
  • Build clean, well-tested RESTful and/or gRPC APIs with a strong focus on reliability, security, and performance
  • Implement observability, tracing, evaluation, guardrails for Generative and Agentic AI applications
  • Deploy and operate services on major cloud providers (e.g., GCP, AWS, and Azure) leveraging managed services
  • Contribute to platform architecture decisions and engineering best practices
  • Take applications from prototype through production deployment, hardening, and ongoing operation
  • Mentor and coach junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, architecture discussions, and pair programming
  • Foster a culture of engineering excellence, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement
  • Participate in technical design reviews and contribute to the professional growth of team members

Mentorship and Team Development

  • 8-15 years of professional software engineering experience with at least 3-5 years of experience building AI/ML software products
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field (Master's degree preferred)
  • Strong proficiency in Python, with deep software engineering fundamentals (abstraction, modularity, system design, testing, performance)
  • Hands-on experience building and shipping Generative and Agentic AI applications, including LLM integration, prompt engineering, and/or agentic workflows
  • Practical experience integrating cloud-hosted LLM APIs such as Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI, and/or AWS Bedrock
  • Experience with agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, Google ADK, Claude Agent SDK) and vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, Open Search, AlloyDB)
  • Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS), or Azure
  • Strong understanding of API design, distributed systems, and cloud-native architecture
  • Proven track record of taking systems from design through production deployment and operation

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Knowledge of Generative AI Risk Management frameworks (NIST RFM)
  • Experience supporting developer platforms or internal tooling
  • Experience writing design documents or helping define engineering standards
