Lanthos is hiring a GCP Agentic AI & Integration Engineer to implement secure agents powered by Gemini models through Vertex AI, along with their tools and enterprise integrations, in a regulated public-sector environment. This is a junior-to-mid-level, implementation-focused role. You will build agent workflows and the APIs that connect them to approved enterprise systems within established architecture and security standards. You will collaborate with senior AI, platform, data and security engineers rather than independently setting the enterprise agent strategy. What you'll do * Build Python services that call Gemini models through Vertex AI APIs. * Implement agent workflows, tools, session state, routing and controlled multi-step execution using Google Agent Development Kit or another approved orchestration framework. * Deploy or integrate agent services using Vertex AI Agent Engine or Gemini Enterprise where appropriate. * Connect agents to approved enterprise content, search services and internal APIs using grounded, least-privilege patterns. * Build and maintain REST APIs and tool interfaces with authentication, authorization, quotas, rate limits and resilient error handling. * Deploy containerized agent and integration services to Cloud Run or another approved Google Cloud runtime. * Add evaluations, guardrails, structured logging, tracing and operational alerts for tool use and agent failures. * Create automated tests for agent behavior, API contracts, authentication and failure recovery. * Maintain tool specifications, interface documentation, deployment notes and operational runbooks., * $70.00-$90.00 per hour, based on relevant experience and final assigned scope. * Independent-contractor engagement, anticipated up to 40 hours per week based on project needs and approved work. * Direct engagement with the individual or a candidate-owned corporation may be considered. * This contract engagement does not include company-sponsored employee benefits. No bonus, commission or equity compensation is currently offered. * Third-party staffing submissions are not accepted. * Applications are expected to remain open through August 21, 2026. The deadline may be extended if the position remains open. Interview process * Initial conversation covering eligibility, availability and engagement expectations. * Practical technical interview focused on agent design, Gemini models through Vertex AI APIs, authentication, Cloud Run and an AI integration the applicant personally delivered. * Team conversation covering troubleshooting, collaboration and regulated-program fit. Lanthos LLC is an equal opportunity employer. The citizenship and suitability requirements above are imposed by the federal engagement supporting this position. ## Related Videos - [AI Agents & Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2017-ai-agents-agentic-ai) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [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) - [Delay the AI Overlords: How OAuth and OpenFGA Can Keep Your AI Agents from Going Rogue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1637-delay-the-ai-overlords-how-oauth-and-openfga-can-keep-your-ai-agents-from-going-rogue) - [Introducing JSON Structure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100219-introducing-json-structure) ## Related Articles - [Got AI ideas but no money?
