## About the Role

* 5-8 years of relevant experience
 * Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, AI, ML, or related field (or equivalent experience).
 * Hands-on experience with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Llama, or equivalent)
 * Familiarity with agentic frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, or similar) and agentic SDKs as level requires.
 * Understanding of prompt engineering, tool/function calling, planning, reasoning, and workflow orchestration.
 * Python; REST APIs, microservices, cloud, containers, CI/CD, and testing - depth scales with level.
 * Evals for LLM/RAG/Agent use cases; observability (Langfuse, OpenSearch, OpenTelemetry) as level requires.
 * Strong communication and ownership mindset.
 * Multi-team adoption of patterns or practices you led.
 * Sets technical direction for an AI area, not only delivers features.
 * Balances innovation speed with enterprise quality, safety, and cost.

## Description

You will build autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents that plan, reason, make decisions, and execute tasks, and orchestrate multi-agent systems that integrate with tools, APIs, and enterprise applications. Everything you build must meet enterprise standards: secure, reliable, scalable, observable, and governed.
Here is how, through this role, you will contribute to BMC's and your own success:

 * Design, develop, and maintain enterprise-grade agentic AI applications using modern LLMs and AI frameworks.
 * Build autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents capable of planning, reasoning, decision-making, and task execution.
 * Develop multi-agent systems and orchestrate interactions between agents, tools, APIs, and enterprise applications.
 * Integrate AI agents with internal and external services through APIs, databases, messaging systems, and workflow engines.
 * Build and deploy RAG solutions using vector databases and enterprise knowledge sources.
 * Optimize AI workflows for performance, scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
 * Implement observability, monitoring, guardrails, and governance mechanisms for production AI systems.
 * Build and run agent evaluations - define eval sets, test behaviour, iterate on prompts, tools, and workflows.
 * Package and deploy solutions in production; apply strong diagnostics across the AI stack.
 * Collaborate with product, architects, and stakeholders; contribute to reviews, documentation, and best practices.
 * Define shared agentic patterns, evaluation practices, and production standards across teams.
 * Lead architecture for cross-cutting AI capabilities used by multiple products/squads.
 * Coach AI engineers; raise the bar for quality, safety, and cost discipline.
 * Partner with AI Quality, SRE, and Security on release gates and ops practices., * Frontier/foundation models beyond API usage (evaluation, adaptation, fine-tuning).
 * Open-weight models and local inference (vLLM, Ollama, Hugging Face).
 * Data exploration techniques and tools.
 * Agile / Atlassian; advanced IDEs (Cursor, IntelliJ, VSCode)., BMC Software maintains a strict policy of not requesting any form of payment in exchange for employment opportunities, upholding a fair and ethical hiring process.
