## About the Role

* 5+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years building complex scalable applications or agentic systems.
 * Hands-on experience building agentic systems using LLMs/SLMs
 * Experience setting up and maintaining MCP Servers and building MCP-compatible tools/adapters
 * Proficient in coding in one or more languages: Java, Python; able to jump between Java and Python projects as needed.
 * Proficiency building production services with either Spring AI and the Spring ecosystem (Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Cloud), or Python (FastAPI/Flask), with typed contracts, testing, and packaging.
 * Solid AWS background with working knowledge of ECS or EKS, containerization (Docker), and CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins/CodeBuild).
 * Strong API design skills (REST/OpenAPI; gRPC and familiarity with observability stacks (eg, Splunk, CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
 * Practical understanding of LLM patterns: function calling/tools, RAG, prompt management, context windows, token budgeting, and safety guardrails.
 * Strong testing culture: unit/integration tests, load tests, and evaluation datasets for agents.
 * Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
 * Experience with agile methodologies and working in fast-paced, iterative development environments.

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

 * Expertise with distributed orchestration patterns for LLM applications (graph-based flows, retries, fallbacks, guardrails) and secure integration with enterprise tools and data.
 * Experience with safe rollout strategies (shadowing, A/B testing, progressive exposure), human-in-the-loop review, and continuous evaluation for quality and safety, including canary rollouts.
 * Knowledge of API gateways, service mesh, and multi-region high availability and disaster recovery for mission-critical services.
 * Familiarity with data privacy, security best practices, and regulatory compliance in financial services.
 * Experience with performance optimization, scalability, and reliability engineering for large-scale systems.
 * Ability to evaluate and integrate third-party tools, libraries, and frameworks to accelerate development.
 * Demonstrated leadership in technical communities, open source contributions, or industry forums.
