Seeking a hands-on AI Native Software Engineer to design, build, and deploy production-grade AI-driven systems within enterprise environments. The role focuses on implementing agent-based workflows, integrating AI platforms, and delivering scalable cloud-native solutions.

Responsibilities

AI Agent Engineering

Design and implement AI agents, including:
- Retrieval (RAG)
- Orchestration workflows
- Tool/function invocation
- Policy-based routing
Build evaluation frameworks for accuracy, latency, and reliability
Implement observability and monitoring for agent lifecycle

AI Platform Integration

Integrate with AI providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Vertex, open-source models)
Build abstraction layers to support multi-model and multi-provider architectures
Optimize model usage for performance, cost, and latency

Cloud-Native Development

Develop scalable services using:
- Microservices architecture
- Containers (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Serverless and event-driven patterns
Implement CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Helm)
Ensure production readiness
, logging, monitoring, and fault tolerance

Application Development

Build and deploy AI-powered applications aligned to business workflows
Integrate AI systems into existing enterprise platforms and APIs
Develop backend services and APIs supporting agent workflows

Testing & Performance

Define and execute test strategies for AI systems
Measure system performance (latency, throughput, accuracy, cost)
Debug and optimize production systems

Required Skills & Experience

8-10+ years of software engineering experience
Strong experience with cloud-native systems (APIs, microservices, containers, serverless)
Experience building and deploying AI/LLM-based systems in production (agents, RAG, orchestration)
Proficiency in Python, Java, or similar backend languages
Experience with:
- CI/CD pipelines
- Infrastructure as code
- Monitoring and observability tools
Hands-on experience with AI platforms (OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, or similar)

Preferred Experience

Experience with agent frameworks (e.g., Lang Graph, Auto Gen, CrewAI)
Experience designing multi-agent or distributed AI systems
Familiarity with enterprise-scale system integration
Experience optimizing AI workloads for cost and performance

Scope & Expectations (Contractor-Specific)

100% hands-on engineering role (no people management)
Deliver production-quality code and deployments
Work within existing architecture and engineering standards
Collaborate with client and internal engineering teams as needed
Participate in technical design discussions (implementation-focused)
