  • Strong proficiency in Python development and API-based integrations.
  • Experience with enterprise software integration patterns and distributed systems.
  • Solid engineering practices, including testing, source control, observability, monitoring, and supportability.
  • Hands-on experience with modern LLM ecosystems, including prompt engineering, model configuration, tool integration, and function execution.
  • Experience working within public cloud environments such as Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Vertex AI, or equivalent technologies.
  • Ability to evaluate AI use cases pragmatically and determine when traditional engineering approaches may be more effective.
  • Self-directed and capable of independently leading technical initiatives in a fast-moving environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building AI agents and multi-agent workflows.
  • Familiarity with orchestration platforms and agent frameworks.
  • Understanding of Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementations and agent-to-agent integrations.
  • Experience with RAG architectures, vector databases, embeddings, and semantic search solutions.
