About the role

We Are A forward-thinking services company at the forefront of AI-native innovation. We partner with enterprise clients to create next-generation, agent-powered workflows engineered to scale in real-world settings. Our engineers embed deeply with customers, moving projects beyond experimentation into operational reality.

Responsibilities

  • Partner directly with client stakeholders — acting as both technologist and trusted advisor.

  • Define use cases, rapidly prototype, and deploy agentic workflows that are robust, secure, and operational in complex enterprise domains.

  • Design and build enterprise-ready AI agents incorporating retrieval, orchestration, policy-based routing, tool invocation, evaluation harnesses, and lifecycle observability.

  • Implement resilient, testable, and maintainable agentic workflows that can be iterated on quickly.

  • Develop and/or extend abstraction layers across AI providers (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, etc.) to enable seamless integration and multi-provider enablement.

  • Contribute to shared libraries, SDKs, and patterns that can be reused across clients.

  • Leverage containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), microservices, serverless, event-driven architectures, CI/CD, and observability stacks to deliver scalable AI-native systems.

  • Own deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting for your services in production.

  • Tailor and deploy agentic applications across verticals (e.g., finance, healthcare, retail), adapting to domain-specific processes and constraints.

  • Work closely with client SMEs to translate business workflows into agentic solutions.

  • Participate in and/or lead design workshops, POCs, and code-with sessions to shape data-driven agent workflows with stakeholders, fostering trust and adoption.

  • Communicate trade-offs, risks, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Define and use key metrics, test harnesses, and evaluation plans to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost effectiveness.

  • Iterate rapidly based on data, feedback, and changing requirements.

  • Craft reusable patterns, documentation, and best practices that influence internal assets and client roadmaps.

  • Contribute to internal communities of practice around AI-native and agentic engineering.

Requirements

  • Minimum of 3 years of engineering experience with cloud-native systems (APIs, microservices, containerization, serverless).

  • Minimum of 1 year of hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic solutions (agents, orchestration, context engineering, RAG, workflows) in production or near-production environments.

  • Minimum of 1 year of experience with modern AI platforms — OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, or open-source models — including building or using abstraction layers for multi-provider pipelines.

  • Minimum of 3 years strong Python, Java or equivalent experience building 12 factor applications + Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Helm).

  • Minimum of 3 years of experience in client-facing communication and collaboration, including leading technical discussions, workshops, or delivery sessions under ambiguity.

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or equivalent OR equivalent (minimum 12 years) work experience.

  • If Associate’s Degree, must have minimum 6 years work experience.

Qualifications

  • Relevant AI certifications or agentic tooling experience are a plus.

  • Served as an Agentic / AI Engineer in an enterprise environment.

  • Built multi agent orchestrations using (Lang-graph, Crew AI, Claude SDK, Open AI SDK, etc).

  • Defined or worked with enterprise-grade architectures for compound AI systems, orchestration frameworks, or agent registry / stream-based architectures.

  • Understood the AI-native paradigm — blending cloud-native with generative model architectures — optimizing for performance, modularity, and efficiency.

  • Delivered solutions across multiple industries (e.g., finance, healthcare) by tailoring agentic workflows to industry needs.

  • Driven execution across multiple workstreams, ensuring quality, delivery, and alignment with client outcomes.

Skills

  • Strong foundation in building cloud-native solutions.

  • Hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic systems, especially for enterprise environments.

  • Experience with modern AI platforms.

  • Experience with containerization, microservices, serverless, and observability stacks.

  • Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Experience with defining and using key metrics, test harnesses, and evaluation plans.

  • Experience with crafting reusable patterns, documentation, and best practices.
