Long Term

Overview

Seeking a hands-on AI Native Software Engineer to design build and deploy production-grade AI-driven systems within enterprise environments. The role focuses on implementing agent-based workflows integrating AI platforms and delivering scalable cloud-native solutions.

Responsibilities

AI Agent Engineering

• Design and implement AI agents including:
  • Retrieval (RAG)
  • Orchestration workflows
  • Tool/function invocation
  • Policy-based routing
• Build evaluation frameworks for accuracy latency and reliability
• Implement observability and monitoring for agent lifecycle

AI Platform Integration

• Integrate with AI providers (e.g. OpenAI Anthropic Google Vertex open-source models)
• Build abstraction layers to support multi-model and multi-provider architectures
• Optimize model usage for performance cost and latency

Cloud-Native Development

• Develop scalable services using:
  • Microservices architecture
  • Containers (Docker Kubernetes)
  • Serverless and event-driven patterns
• Implement CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform Helm)
• Ensure production readiness logging monitoring and fault tolerance

Application Development

• Build and deploy AI-powered applications aligned to business workflows
• Integrate AI systems into existing enterprise platforms and APIs
• Develop backend services and APIs supporting agent workflows

Testing & Performance

• Define and execute test strategies for AI systems
• Measure system performance (latency throughput accuracy cost)
• Debug and optimize production systems

Required Skills & Experience

• 10 years of software engineering experience
• Strong experience with cloud-native systems (APIs microservices containers serverless)
• Experience building and deploying AI/LLM-based systems in production (agents RAG orchestration)
• Proficiency in Python Java or similar backend languages
• Experience with:
  • CI/CD pipelines
  • Infrastructure as code
  • Monitoring and observability tools
• Hands-on experience with AI platforms (OpenAI Claude Vertex AI or similar)

Preferred Experience

• Experience with multiple agent frameworks (e.g. LangGraph AutoGen CrewAI)
• Experience designing multi-agent or distributed AI systems
• Familiarity with enterprise-scale system integration
• Experience optimizing AI workloads for cost and performance

Scope & Expectations (Contractor-Specific)

• 100% hands-on engineering role (no people management)
• Deliver production-quality code and deployments
• Work within existing architecture and engineering standards
• Collaborate with client and internal engineering teams as needed
• Participate in technical design discussions (implementation-focused)
