Durtaion -Long Term 

 

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 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

• 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)
