Software Engineer II - Python

About the role

As a Python Engineer on our Data Science team, you will be at the forefront of our most ambitious technical initiatives. Your role is dual-purposed: you will build and orchestrate next-generation Agentic AI systems using AgentCore and LangGraph, and you will act as a Machine Learning Engineer (MLE) to productionize the sophisticated models developed by our Data Scientists.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement autonomous agents using AgentCore and orchestrate them via LangGraph to ensure complex workflows are visible and manageable.
• Partner with Data Scientists to take ML models from research notebooks into scalable, production-ready AWS environments.
• Constantly research and implement the newest technologies to ensure our platform remains world-class.
• Build and maintain the cloud-native infrastructure (AWS) required for AI/ML inference and agentic execution, ensuring high availability and cost-efficiency.
• Implement deep monitoring and alerting for all services, using LangGraph for agent-specific visibility and Splunk for broader system health.
• Participate in rigorous code reviews and help define the engineering standards for the Data Science team.
• Work without complete specifications to help derive technology solutions that meet the evolving needs of the business.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Development, Machine Learning, or a related field, OR equivalent professional experience (3-5+ years in production-level engineering).
• Expert-level proficiency in Python with a focus on building distributed, scalable cloud-native services.
• Proven experience in a Data Science or Machine Learning environment, specifically in bridging the gap between research code and production software.
• Hands-on experience with AgentCore runtime for building and managing autonomous agents.
• Extensive experience using LangGraph to create complex, stateful multi-agent orchestrations with high visibility.
• Deep familiarity with Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, or Anthropic APIs and the latest advancements in LLM reasoning.
• Experience building and optimizing RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines.
• Proven track record of productionizing Data Science models, transforming research-grade code into high-performance, scalable APIs (e.g., using FastAPI).
• Familiarity with Amazon SageMaker or other cloud-based ML platforms.
• Strong proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform.
• Experience building asynchronous, event-driven architectures.
• Proficiency in Splunk and CloudWatch for production monitoring and alerting.
• Strong knowledge of software development life cycle (SDLC) processes, including unit testing, regression testing, and Agile concepts.
• Ability to work with broad, loosely developed concepts and translate them into precise technical specifications.
