No restrictions on international or overseas travel. Preferred * Advanced Agent Frameworks: Hands-on experience implementing multi-agent architectures or complex workflows using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, or custom-built loop logic through the execution of iterative reasoning loops. * Network & API Optimizations: Deep understanding of designing real-time streaming responses, websockets, and highly asynchronous API architectures. * Advanced Retrieval & Inference: Experience building optimized data pipelines for function calling, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and handling high-traffic global inference under constrained GPU resources. * Protocol Expertise: Foundational knowledge of MCP (Model Context Protocol) concepts or hands-on experience building custom MCP servers. ## Description AI Service Commercialization & Backend Engineering * Design, build, and optimize cost-efficient, scalable backend architectures for domain-specific AI services utilizing Computer Vision, vision-language models (VLMs), and Large Language Models (LLMs). * Rapidly prototype new product features using AI-powered developer tools, then systematically harden them into highly stable, secure, and production-ready enterprise APIs. * Deploy, monitor, and operate live AI inference services across distributed cloud and on-premise multi-GPU environments. AI Agent Orchestration & Protocol Architecture * Design and implement the runtime execution and orchestration layer for autonomous AI Agents, incorporating complex tool-calling, advanced reasoning patterns, and stateful memory management. * Migrate existing services to Model Context Protocol servers, defining well-structured interfaces so autonomous Agents can seamlessly interact with backend infrastructure. * Integrate multi-modal LLM APIs and establish systematic prompt-engineering structures to safely handle edge cases and runtime exceptions. Reliability, SLAs & Cross-Functional Alignment * Establish, monitor, and optimize Agent service SLAs, explicitly defining SLIs/SLOs around response latency, availability, and error rates. * Architect resilient fallback mechanisms, retry policies, and circuit breaker strategies to guarantee high-availability service performance. * Collaborate closely with global product management, business development, and core AI research teams to translate real-world client needs into high-performance technical systems. ## Related Videos - [On a Secret Mission: Developing AI Agents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1510-on-a-secret-mission-developing-ai-agents) - [Intro to FastAPI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/462-intro-to-fastapi) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [MySQL Protocol Features You Should Be Aware Of](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100267-mysql-protocol-features-you-should-be-aware-of) - [AI Agents & Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2017-ai-agents-agentic-ai) - [Building and Deploying Multi-Agent Systems with ADK and Vertex AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1918-building-and-deploying-multi-agent-systems-with-adk-and-vertex-ai) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [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) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
