In this role, you will work at the intersection of engineering, product, and agile delivery, helping deploy AI-powered and agentic systems into enterprise workflows. You will support the transition of AI solutions (including agent-based systems) from prototype to production-integrating with data, systems, and operational processes-while continuously adapting solutions based on real-world feedback., * Assist in implementing agentic workflows (multi-step, goal-driven AI systems) that interact with tools, APIs, and enterprise systems. * Integrate AI applications with data sources, business workflows, and operational systems. * Validate outputs for accuracy, reliability, and business alignment before and after deployment. 2. Agile Engineering & Delivery * Work within Agile/Scrum teams, contributing to sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives. * Translate user stories into technical tasks and support iterative development cycles. * Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and engineers to deliver increments of value. * Participate in rapid prototyping and fail-fast experimentation cycles for AI use cases. 3. Testing, Monitoring & Continuous Improvement * Test AI workflows (including agent behavior) under real-world scenarios. * Identify edge cases, failure modes, and integration issues; support fixes and improvements. * Assist in setting up basic monitoring (logs, alerts, performance metrics). * Contribute to improving repeatability through templates, accelerators, and automation scripts. 4. Responsible AI & Governance * Support implementation of guardrails and control mechanisms for AI/agentic systems (e.g., validation checks, human-in-the-loop workflows). * Ensure solutions adhere to data security, compliance, and audit requirements. * Participate in evaluation processes to monitor output quality, reliability, and ethical considerations. 5. Documentation & Knowledge Transfer * Create and maintain deployment runbooks, integration documentation, and troubleshooting guides. * Document agent behavior, workflows, and decision logic to ensure transparency and audit-readiness. * Support handover of stabilized deployments to support or operations teams. ## Related Videos - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [Your imaginations is (no longer) the limit: how Generative AI empowers people to be creative](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/741-your-imaginations-is-no-longer-the-limit-how-generative-ai-empowers-people-to-be-creative) - [Crypto-secure Data Management with In-Database Blockchain](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/632-crypto-secure-data-management-with-in-database-blockchain) - [Agentic DevOps: How AI-Powered Automation Transforms Software Delivery on GitHub and Azure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1539-agentic-devops-how-ai-powered-automation-transforms-software-delivery-on-github-and-azure) - [Introducing JSON Structure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100219-introducing-json-structure) - [AI and Agility: The Dynamic Duo for Disruption](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2081-ai-and-agility-the-dynamic-duo-for-disruption) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
