Design & scale async REST/Web Socket APIs with Python 3.11+ + FastAPI, using dependency-injection, type hints, and clean vertical-slice architecture.

Implement multi-agent workflows with Semantic Kernel (handoff, sequential, concurrent) to route traffic among specialised LLM agents.

Integrate LLM providers (OpenAI GPT-4.1/mini, Google Gemini 2.5 Flash) behind a provider-agnostic layer for A/B and cost-aware routing.

Deliver Retrieval-Augmented Generation with vector stores such as Azure AI Search, pgvector, or Chroma.

Expose tool-using agents via OpenAI Assistants (Code-Interpreter) for data-analysis / file-manipulation tasks.

Evolve schemas with SQLModel / SQLAlchemy 2 & Alembic; tune Postgres for high concurrency async access.

Maintain robust CI/CD (Bitbucket Jenkins) that lint, type-check, test, package (Docker), and deploy.

Instrument services with structlog JSON logs, Open Telemetry traces, and cost/latency metrics; hold p95 < 100 ms.

Champion AI-assisted development (Git Hub Copilot, Cursor) and share pragmatic problem-solving practices with the team.

Who you are & what you’ll need to succeed.

5 + yrs building production APIs in Python; 2 + yrs with FastAPI (or similar async stack).

Deep knowledge of async I/O, Pydantic v2, DI, and observability.

Hands-on with Semantic Kernel or comparable agent frameworks.

Practical RAG implementations using Azure AI Search, pgvector, or Chroma.

Strong Postgres skills, including SQLModel/SQLAlchemy 2 and Alembic migrations.

Proven integrations or Side Projects with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Gemini) and structured-output design.

Dependency management via Poetry and virtual-env isolation.
