• Integrate with runtime ecosystems: Connect agents to observability, incident management, and deployment systems to enable automated diagnostics, runbook execution, remediation, and post-incident summarization with full traceability
• Collaborate directly with users: Partner with production engineers, and application teams to translate production pain points into agentic AI roadmaps; define objective functions linked to reliability, risk reduction, and cost; and deliver auditable, business-aligned outcomes
• Scale and performance: Optimize cost and latency via prompt engineering, context management, caching, model routing, and distillation; leverage batching, streaming, and parallel tool-calls to meet stringent SLOs under real-world load
• Build agentic AI systems: Design and implement tool-calling agents that combine retrieval, structured reasoning, and secure action execution (function calling, change orchestration, policy enforcement) following MCP protocol
• Integrate with runtime ecosystems: Connect agents to observability, incident management, and deployment systems to enable automated diagnostics, runbook execution, remediation, and post-incident summarization with full traceability

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a proven track record of building and deploying robust applications, and significant experience integrating AI/ML models.
• Demonstrated experience building and deploying end-to-end applications that leverage LLMs and related frameworks. This includes experience with prompt engineering, API integration, and working with agentic frameworks.
• Strong proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, or Go, along with experience integrating with relevant AI/ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch).
• Proven ability to translate complex business requirements into well-defined, cloud-optimized application architectures, scalable data models (e.g., relational, NoSQL, graph), and technical specifications for AI-powered systems, and to subsequently implement and accelerate delivery of robust, production-ready systems based on these designs.
• Extensive experience with major cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), including cloud-native services (serverless, containerization, managed AI/ML platforms), and a strong command of DevOps/MLOps best practices for automated deployment, monitoring, lifecycle management, data pipeline orchestration, and cloud security standards.
• Excellent communication capabilities, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders across all levels of the organization.
• Strong collaboration and interpersonal skills, with a passion for mentoring and enabling others.
• Proven ability to lead or significantly contribute to cross-functional projects.
