Job Description

This is a critical-delivery role responsible for engineering and operating vendor applications end to end within an on-premises OpenShift platform, directly supporting the enterprise's AI monitoring, controls, and governance commitments. You will develop and integrate application components, deploy and scale containerized services, and provide the production support that keeps these services reliable, performant, and audit-ready.

The domain is AI Agent operations. The applications you support deliver guardrails and observability for LLM powered systems across the enterprise, enabling the model observability, traceability, and evaluation needed to meet risk management, compliance, and regulatory expectations. Because this capability underpins key delivery milestones, the role demands strong engineering discipline, sound operational judgment, and a sense of urgency.

The ideal engineer learns new tools and environments quickly, brings a pragmatic build-and-operate mindset, and can lead cross-functional initiatives without formal authority.

Responsibilities

• Own delivery of critical vendor applications from build through production support in a fully on-premises OpenShift environment, meeting committed milestones and quality expectations.
• Build and maintain APIs and integrations connecting vendor guardrail and observability platforms to enterprise AI Agent solutions.
• Establish and manage workflows that monitor performance, safety, latency, throughput, quality, and guardrail effectiveness in support of AI risk and control objectives.
• Implement and maintain model evaluation frameworks using LLM-as-a-Judge and specialized language models.
• Develop observability dashboards and alerting using Grafana or similar tools, producing audit-friendly evidence and traceability.
• Troubleshoot production issues and improve scalability, resilience, and operational efficiency to sustain availability for critical business services.
• Contribute to evaluation methodologies and guardrail controls for agentic and multi-step AI systems.
• Lead and mentor engineers, establish development standards, and drive process improvements across cross-functional delivery.
• Provide input into financial planning, budget tracking, forecasting, and management of supported applications and services.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, MIS, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

• Proven experience taking LLM- or RAG-based applications into production and maintaining them at scale.
• Experience building APIs and integrating third-party platforms.
• Working experience with AI Agents development, including OpenAI APIs and LangChain.
• Practical understanding of inference performance optimization. Experience applying guardrails, observability, and model-based evaluation to AI applications.
• Experience delivering within Agile and Agile-at-scale environments against firm timelines.
• Proven ability to influence outcomes and meet delivery commitments in a matrixed organization without direct authority. Strong problem-solving, communication, and stakeholder management skills.

Desired Qualifications

• Experience delivering technology solutions within a large, complex, highly regulated enterprise, preferably financial services.
• Fast learner able to ramp quickly on new technologies and tools.
• Experience with annotation pipelines, feedback loops, fine-tuning, and model alignment techniques.
• Familiarity with prompt versioning and lifecycle management.
• Experience with vendor-provided guardrail and observability platforms such as Galileo, LangSmith, and Splunk.
• Working knowledge of additional AI Agents frameworks such as LlamaIndex or Haystack.
• Familiarity with evaluation and guardrails for agentic, multi-step AI workflows.
