## About the Role

Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Storytelling, Leading Edge Technology, Content Development, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Product Development, Use Cases, MCP - Microsoft Certified Professional, Application Programming Interface (API), * 8+ years of software engineering experience with a track record of delivering quality results.

 * Hands-on experience building, deploying, operating, AND evaluating LLM agents in production - not just chat-completion apps or prototypes.
 * Experience with one or more agent frameworks/SDKs (Strands, OpenAI Agents SDK, Anthropic Claude Agent SDK, LangGraph, pydantic-ai, CrewAI, Google ADK) and with tool/function calling and MCP.
 * Experience with LLM/agent evaluation and observability - building eval suites, tracing, and quality measurement, then iterating on results (Braintrust, LangSmith, W&B, or equivalent).
 * Strong experience building SDKs and APIs for internal or external developers.
 * Strong fundamentals in building and operating scalable, observable, fault-tolerant distributed systems.
 * Proficiency in Python (and Python packaging tooling) plus one of Java, Go, C/C++, Rust, or Zig. Familiarity with our stack - Temporal, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes - is a plus.
 * Experience with large-scale build, release, CI/CD, and observability methods.

## Description

* Design, build, and operate the Agent SDK and MCP Gateway that Netflix engineers use to build, deploy, and run AI agents in production.
 * Build agents and agent infrastructure across the full lifecycle - plan/act/observe loops, tool and MCP integrations, deployment, and day-2 operations.
 * Make evaluation a first-class part of the platform: build the tracing, eval suites, and quality signals that let teams measure agents, catch regressions, and iterate to make them better.
 * Own reliability, observability, and guardrails for non-deterministic systems running at very high scale
 * Lead cross-functional initiatives with ML scientists, data scientists, product managers, and other AI Platform teams.
 * Rapidly iterate with users to improve the developer experience while establishing durable foundational capabilities.
