You embed with clients to stand up custom AI agent frameworks across cloud providers (Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI Agent Builder) and the Anthropic Claude Agent SDK. You partner with stakeholders to define use cases, prototype agentic workflows, and ship production-ready agents that operate reliably.

Responsibilities

• Design AI agents with retrieval, orchestration, tool invocation, evaluation harnesses, and lifecycle observability.
• Build LLM and agentic systems with function-calling, prompt engineering, and agent orchestration in production.
• Implement RAG patterns with vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, Chroma, Milvus) and tune embeddings for retrieval quality.
• Train and deploy ML models with PyTorch, TensorFlow, MLflow, SageMaker, Azure ML, or Kubeflow.
• Stand up custom agent frameworks across providers (Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI Agent Builder, Anthropic Claude Agent SDK); design the supporting architecture fo production.
• Integrate AI agents with enterprise APIs, microservices, and workflow systems; ship via CI/CD on Azure, AWS, or GCP.
