Preferred Differentiators * Agentic AI frameworks (LangGraph, Google ADK), agent-to-agent (A2A) patterns, tool calling, AI workflow orchestration, RAG, evaluation, and responsible AI guardrail design. * AI-specific observability and tracing (LangSmith, Grafana/LGTM), GPU infrastructure for model serving (NVIDIA GPU Operator, Vertex AI), and DAG-based orchestration (Dagster, Prefect, Airflow). * Excellent communication, mentoring, stakeholder management, and project planning, with flexibility for critical deployments and production incidents. ## Description This Senior Engineer turns RealPage's responsible agentic factory strategy into repeatable infrastructure, automated delivery pipelines, production-grade operating practices, and clear engineering standards. The role blends hands-on AI platform delivery with governance, observability, secure deployment, and mentoring across technical teams., * Define standards-based deployment patterns for responsible AI agents, reusable platform capabilities, and secure agent runtime architectures, including identity, access, and secrets management. * Automate AI platform buildout, release standardization, environment provisioning, CI/CD, Terraform/Helm deployments, and operational runbooks. * Operate reliable AI platform services with incident response, capacity planning, OpenTelemetry traces/logs/metrics, monitoring, rollback, and disaster recovery practices. * Collaborate across InfoSec, CloudOps, DevOps, and platform engineering teams to create responsible agentic factory standards for guardrails, governance, secure releases, observability, and production readiness. * Coach engineers, lead design reviews, guide implementation toward approved architecture patterns, and drive practical tradeoffs across cost, speed, reliability, and security., * Reusable deployment patterns are documented, automated, adopted, observable, and auditable across key agentic AI workloads. * Dev, UAT, and Production release paths become faster, more secure, more consistent, and easier to govern. * Security, governance, reliability, monitoring, and responsible automation are embedded into delivery workflows from the start. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 137 - AI'm not sure about this](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/485-dev-digest-137-ai-m-not-sure-about-this) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care)
