These approaches are becoming an important part of modern enterprise software architectures, particularly for scaling automation responsibly across complex organizations. In this role, you will work closely with cross-functional partners, data and platform teams, and other engineers to design, implement, and deploy AI-enabled systems that are reliable, maintainable, and aligned with business needs.

• Design and develop Python-based services and applications that support enterprise AI and agentic automation use cases.
• Architect and build APIs and integrations that connect AI systems with internal platforms, tools, and data sources.
• Lead or contribute to the design of agentic AI workflows, orchestration layers, and evaluation strategies.
• Write high-quality, maintainable, and well-tested code following modern software engineering best practices.
• Review code, provide technical guidance, and contribute to shared engineering standards.
• Evaluate emerging AI and automation technologies and make informed recommendations for adoption.
• Support deployment, monitoring, and iteration of AI-enabled solutions in production environments.

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or a closely related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 5–7 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong proficiency in Python and experience building production-grade applications or services.
• Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including system design, testing, and version control.
• Experience designing and consuming RESTful APIs.
• Exposure to AI, machine learning systems, or AI-enabled applications (deep research background not required).
• Ability to collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical partners.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a pragmatic, outcome-oriented mindset.
