• Create prototypes as required, covering UI elements, agent flow logic, or MCP/LLM integration paths, then hand off a production-ready backlog to the India team

• Track record turning insights from stakeholder workshops into workable architecture and a practical, buildable backlog
• Direct AWS delivery experience spanning Lambda, API Gateway, ECS/EKS, S3, RDS/DynamoDB, IAM, and CloudWatch, along with enterprise-grade authentication methods such as SSO/Okta and RBAC
• Effective communicator able to steer technical conversations in English alongside US-based stakeholders, with working fluency at B2 level or above, turning business requirements into agentic architecture designs
• Nice to have Familiarity with MCP gateways, LLM gateways, policy/audit systems, and cost/usage tracking tools
• Experience deploying OpenTelemetry or similar observability platforms to track agent traces, tool call activity, latency, and failure events
• Hands-on background with platforms like Salesforce, Gong, Clari, Glean, ServiceNow, Oracle HCM, Concur, or comparable HR/IT solutions
