Key Responsibilities

• Design and coordinate synchronization strategies across multiple AI agents for collaborative task execution
• Integrate software engineering capabilities with agentic AI systems to enable scalable multi-agent orchestration
• Apply tool integration approaches to connect AI agents with external systems and manufacturing platforms
• Collaborate with AI/ML engineers to integrate AI models into production-grade systems.
• Build and maintain hybrid backend systems using containerized services (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Develop data pipelines and APIs to facilitate secure, efficient access to AI-ready data.
• Participate in software design reviews, code reviews, and architecture discussions
• Support DevOps pipelines, CI/CD processes, and maintain scalable production and staging environments
• Contribute to the evolution of agentic AI platforms, knowledge-based systems, or decision engines in enterprise settings.

Technical Requirement

• Bachelor\'s degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related field
• 2+ years experience in backend software development or platform engineering
• Experience in designing and building microservices using ASP.NET, Python, Go, or Node.js
• Experience with agent-based system design or multi-agent coordination frameworks
• Familiarity with integrating external tools or protocols into AI-driven platforms
• Strong understanding of intelligent agent architectures or AI orchestration systems (agentic AI, multi-agent workflow, etc.)
• Proficiency in Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud environments
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar
• Understanding of software architecture principles, event-driven design, and asynchronous programming
• Exposure to AI/ML system integration in production environments
• Knowledge of data engineering, feature stores, or model-serving workflows
