• Build and maintain API-driven integrations utilizing REST services and Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementations.
• Design AI-powered automation solutions that improve business processes and data engineering workflows.
• Partner with data scientists to operationalize AI solutions and measure business impact through performance metrics and business outcomes.
• Establish best practices for AI application development, deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management.
• Utilize observability and telemetry data to evaluate AI agent performance, identify optimization opportunities, and enhance solution reliability.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues while ensuring platform stability and scalability.
• Lead code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and contribute to technical standards across the team.
• Collaborate with architecture, security, and governance teams to ensure AI solutions meet enterprise standards and regulatory requirements.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend innovative approaches to advance the organization's AI capabilities.

Key Qualifications & Experience:

• Software engineering experience, including experience delivering complex technology solutions.
• Advanced proficiency in Python development.
• Experience designing and deploying Generative AI, machine learning, or LLM-based applications in production environments.
• Hands-on experience with agent orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph and/or LangChain.
• Experience developing and integrating REST APIs and distributed services.
• Experience implementing AI tools and integrations utilizing Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar AI integration frameworks.
• Experience supporting production systems and driving operational excellence through monitoring, telemetry, and observability practices.
• Strong understanding of software architecture, design patterns, and scalable application development.
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives and influence engineering direction.
• Experience building agentic AI systems, autonomous workflows, or multi-agent architectures.
• Experience developing solutions utilizing PySpark and modern data engineering platforms.
• Knowledge of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector databases, prompt engineering, and AI application architecture.
• Experience with cloud-based AI and data platforms.
• Experience implementing AI observability, evaluation frameworks, and performance monitoring solutions.
• Familiarity with MLOps, LLMOps, and AI governance frameworks.
• Experience working within large enterprise environments.
