What Sets You Apart: * Hands-on experience with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) or comparable agent tool-integration frameworks. * Experience with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway or Runtime. * Experience with knowledge graphs, context graphs, or graph databases. * Experience building or tuning search and retrieval systems and evaluation pipelines. * Experience with AWS CDK and GitHub Actions. * Familiarity with AI governance, evaluation, and compliance frameworks. * Experience with supply chain security and multi-tenant cost attribution at scale. * Contributions to open-source AI platform, MCP, or DevOps tooling. ## Description * As a Senior AI Platform Engineer, you will help design, build, and operate the platform that powers Client agentic AI capabilities within our AWS ecosystem. * You will work on the systems that expose client content and tools to large language models, including Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway and Runtime, retrieval and search pipelines, and the knowledge and context graphs that ground model output in trusted data. * Working alongside data scientists, data engineers, and DevSecOps teams, you will turn research prototypes into reliable, secure, and scalable production services, contributing automation that accelerates delivery while meeting the platform's Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) for security, performance, and cost. * This is a remote contract engagement within a distributed agile environment. What You'll Do (Primary Responsibilities): * Design, build, and maintain MCP servers that expose client content and tools to AI agents and partner integrations across AWS environments. * Implement and operate Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway and Runtime workloads, including tool registration, authentication and authorization patterns, and dispatcher-based routing. * Build and optimize search and retrieval pipelines, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures, relevance tuning, and evaluation harnesses. * Develop knowledge and context graphs that model relationships across content and ground LLM responses in authoritative sources. * Apply infrastructure-as-code (AWS CDK, Terraform, CloudFormation) to automate provisioning of AI platform infrastructure. * Implement CI/CD automation for packaging, testing, deployment, and observability of AI services using DevSecOps best practices. * Define and automate monitoring, alerting, and evaluation strategies for deployed AI workloads. * Ensure AI platform infrastructure meets enterprise security, compliance, and governance standards, including supply chain hardening and per-tenant isolation. * Partner with data scientists and product teams to operationalize new agentic capabilities and partner connectors. * Participate in code reviews and knowledge sharing, and contribute to documentation and reusable patterns. Your Team: This engagement is part of the Data & AI organization, focusing on the AI platform that delivers agentic and retrieval-based capabilities within AWS. Areas of specialty include: * MCP server design, partner connectors, and tool integration * Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway and Runtime operations * Search, retrieval, and RAG architecture and evaluation * Knowledge and context graph modeling and grounding * Secure, compliant, and scalable AI platform infrastructure, In this role, you will leverage your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems, shaping how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.
