• Hands-on experience with agent frameworks, tool/function calling, structured outputs, and multi-agent orchestration patterns.
• Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, etc.), embeddings, and retrieval system design.
• Solid backend fundamentals: APIs, async systems, distributed services, Docker/Kubernetes, and cloud platforms.

• Design robust agent workflows using frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or the OpenAI/Anthropic agent SDKs; integrate tools via MCP and function calling.
• Collaborate with solution architects, product teams, and application owners to implement integration designs.
• Build RAG pipelines, vector search, and context-management strategies that keep agents accurate and cost-efficient.
