Build an Agent Registry for versioning, discovery, and dynamic routing of specialized agents.

Design fault-tolerant workflows with retries, fallbacks, partial-result preservation, and rollback mechanisms.

Create a multi-model routing layer to balance latency, cost, and accuracy across GPT, Claude, Gemini, and open-source models.

Implementation & Development (30%)

Build the Agent Executor to manage reasoning loops, retrievals, and validation tasks.

Develop core System Agents (e.g., Query Understanding, Context Retrieval, Reasoning, Memory, Validation).

Implement an asynchronous execution framework using RabbitMQ / Kafka / SQS for long-running workflows.

Create prompt management tools for versioning, A / B tests, and regression testing.

Develop observability pipelines with OpenTelemetry, LangSmith, and custom telemetry for tracing agent activity.

Integration & Collaboration (20%)

Partner with the Knowledge Graph Engineer to combine vector search and graph-based reasoning.

Work with Data Scientists to embed their prompts and reasoning chains into the orchestration layer.

Collaborate with frontend engineers to design WebSocket and REST APIs for real-time agent interactions.

Integrate with backend services for ETL pipelines, validation utilities, and memory / session management.

Leadership & Strategy (10%)

Lead design and architecture reviews for the AI services layer.

Evaluate and adopt emerging AI frameworks, models, and tools.

Define code standards, testing practices, and documentation guidelines for multi-agent systems.

Contribute to roadmap and sprint planning, aligning product vision with delivery milestones.

Mentor AI engineers and support their technical growth.
