• The emphasis of this role is engineering, not platform configuration.
• We are looking for a strong developer who can write production Java and Python, design solutions on AWS, and do so inside a validated environment.

• Troubleshoot and resolve production defects across application, integration and database layers
• AI Engineering:
• Design, develop, deploy and support LLM-based agents in Python that assist quality processes .
• Build and tune RAG pipelines, prompt templates, evaluation harnesses and guardrails; measure agent accuracy, drift and regression against defined acceptance criteria
• Integrate agent outputs into quality workflows through APIs, including human-in-the-loop review, confidence thresholds, fallback behaviour and full capture of the audit trail
• Take ownership of an existing AWS hosted AI framework post-implementation, including production support, enhancement and new agent development
• Establish monitoring and observability for AI components quality metrics, latency, token cost and failure modes
• Architecture, Integration and Compliance:
• Design and document AWS architecture for AI and application workloads Bedrock and/or SageMaker, Lambda, API Gateway, ECS, S3, IAM and VPC-based network design
• Partner with architecture review, security review and infrastructure groups to get designs approved and deployed
• Produce technical specifications, process flows, functional and technical design documentation
• Perform solution design, requirements definition, testing and validation support through implementation
• Comply with regulatory, computer system validation and change control requirements; produce the associated validation deliverables
• Work with process owners to identify continuous improvement and automation opportunities, and recommend solutions using system standards and best practices
• Work closely with onsite teams, offshore teams, vendor partners, managers and executives to ensure the release of high quality solutions
• Support and train users on new and modified functionality, highlighting the impact on business processes

Qualifications

• Strong core Java and full-stack application development in validated GxP environments (Spring Boot, REST APIs, SQL, modern front-end framework).
• Python-based AI engineering — LLM application and agent development (RAG, prompt engineering, orchestration, evaluation).
