This role involves developing MCP servers and agents, integrating LLMs, and implementing RAG pipelines for production environments. Key Responsibilities · Design, build and operate MCP servers and MCP agents that host, orchestrate and monitor AI/agent workloads. · Develop agentic AI, prompt engineering patterns, LLM integrations and developer tooling for production use. · Own deployment, scaling, reliability and cost-efficiency on Kubernetes/Docker and Google Cloud with automated CI/CD · Design and implement RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) pipelines and integrations with vector stores and retrieval tooling; use LangChain and Langfuse for orchestration, chaining, and observability. Core Responsibilities · Implement and maintain MCP server and agent code, APIs, and SDKs for model access and agent orchestration. · Design agent behavior, workflows and safety guards for agentic AI systems. · Create, test and iterate prompt templates, evaluation harnesses and grounding/chain of thought strategies. · Integrate LLMs and model providers (self hosted and cloud APIs) with unified adapters and telemetry. · Build developer tooling: CLI, local runner, simulators, and debugging tools for agents and prompts. · Containerize services (Docker), manage orchestration (Kubernetes/GKE), and optimize nodes, autoscaling and resource requests. · Ensure observability: logging, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerting and SLOs for model infra and agents. · Create runbooks, playbooks and incident response procedures; reduce MTTR and perform postmortems. · Design and maintain RAG workflows: document chunking, embeddings, vector indexing, retrieval strategies, re ranking and context injection. · Integrate and instrument LangChain for composable chains, agents and tooling; use Langfuse (or equivalent tracing) to capture prompts, model calls, RAG traces and evaluation telemetry. Required Skills & Experience · 5+ years of Strong Software Engineering (Python/NodeJS), system design and production service experience. · 2+ years of Experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, and agent frameworks. · 2+ years of Experience Practical experience implementing RAG: embeddings, vector DBs and retrieval tuning. · 2+ years of Experience with LangChain patterns and with toolchain telemetry (Langfuse or similar) for prompt/model traceability. · 5+ years of Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD and infrastructure as code experience. · 2+ years of Experience with Practical experience with Google Cloud Platform services · 2+ years of Experience with Observability, testing, and security best practices for distributed systems. · 2+ years of Experience with evaluating and mitigating retrieval/augmentation failures, hallucinations, and leakage risks in RAG systems. · Familiarity with vendor and open source vector stores and embedding providers. · Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or ArgoCD). ## Related Videos - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [What Developers Get Wrong About Application Quality](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/233-what-developers-get-wrong-about-application-quality) - [Beyond Prompting: Building Scalable AI with Multi-Agent Systems and MCP](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1454-beyond-prompting-building-scalable-ai-with-multi-agent-systems-and-mcp) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [What Are Large Language Models?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/304-what-are-large-language-models) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [Everything a Developer Needs to Know About MCP with Neo4j](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/604-everything-a-developer-needs-to-know-about-mcp-with-neo4j) - [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)
