What Success Looks Like (Objectives):

• Design, develop, and deploy autonomous AI services and multi-agent workflows from initial concept to full enterprise production
• Implement open communication protocol integrations with MCP for agent-to-tool integration and A2A for secure agent-to-agent coordination and task delegation
• Architect hybrid control flows, state machines, and graphs to manage multi-step reasoning, balancing probabilistic LLM behavior with deterministic code paths for critical backend transactions
• Integrate secure tool execution environments, utilizing sandboxed execution contexts and strict egress controls to ensure runtime safety
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technical agent specifications and scalable microservices
• Apply SRE principles to agent behavior, establishing robust fallback mechanisms, circuit breakers, and detailed audit trails to ensure system observability and reliability

Skills, Experience and Requirements

Core Skills and Competencies (What you’ll bring):

• Advanced coding skills in Python, with a deep understanding of backend frameworks and distributed microservices architecture
• Deep understanding of agent interoperability and communication standards, including Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol design
• AI engineering proficiency with cloud-based foundation model platforms, specifically AWS Bedrock or enterprise equivalents
• Technical expertise in containerization, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure
• Proven track record of shipping LLM-powered systems into live production environments

Additional Qualifications:

• Experience with multi-agent orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen
• Familiarity with agent deployment platforms and infrastructure hosting like Bedrock AgentCore or equivalent production-grade hosting environments
• Experience with big data platforms and distributed systems for large-scale context processing
