The Impact You Will Have in This Role

Join our team to help deliver next-generation AI capabilities that transform how business processes are automated, optimized, and enhanced through Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions.

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior AI Engineer with hands-on experience designing, building, integrating, and deploying enterprise-scale AI applications. This role focuses on leveraging, integrating, and orchestrating existing foundation models and AI services to solve real business problems through intelligent agents, agentic workflows, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and enterprise integrations.

Unlike traditional AI research roles, this position emphasizes the integration, orchestration, and operationalization of existing AI capabilities rather than the development of foundational models.

You will partner closely with software engineers, architects, data engineers, and business stakeholders to take AI solutions from concept and prototype through production deployment. The ideal candidate combines strong Python engineering skills with practical experience developing AI-powered applications using Amazon Bedrock, AWS, Snowflake, and modern agent development frameworks.

Your Primary Responsibilities:

Build Enterprise AI Solutions

• Design, develop, test, and deploy Generative AI and Agentic AI applications using Amazon Bedrock, AWS, and related AI technologies.
• Build intelligent AI agents and multi-agent systems that automate and enhance business workflows.
• Develop scalable AI-powered solutions that integrate seamlessly with enterprise applications and platforms.

Design Agentic Architectures

• Design and implement agent orchestration patterns, including: 
  • Supervisor and coordinator agents
  • Specialized task agents
  • Routing and decisioning frameworks
  • Context and memory management
  • Workflow execution and monitoring
• Build multi-step reasoning workflows that effectively combine LLM intelligence with enterprise systems and business processes.

Develop AI Integrations

• Integrate AI agents with: 
  • REST APIs
  • Enterprise applications
  • Internal platforms and services
  • Databases and data platforms
  • External tools and third-party systems
• Create secure and reusable tools, APIs, and integration layers that enable agent interaction with enterprise systems.

Implement Knowledge-Driven AI

• Design and deliver Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions using enterprise documents, structured data, and knowledge repositories.
• Implement embeddings, vector search, document retrieval, and knowledge-grounding strategies to improve AI accuracy and business outcomes.
• Select and leverage appropriate foundation models based on business and technical requirements.

Build Production-Ready AI Applications

• Develop backend AI services primarily using Python.
• Design prompts, agent instructions, tool definitions, workflows, and AI guardrails.
• Deploy and support AI applications within AWS and OpenShift (OCP) environments.
• Implement logging, monitoring, evaluation, security, observability, and operational controls for enterprise AI workloads.

Drive Engineering Excellence

• Collaborate across engineering, architecture, product, and business teams to identify and deliver AI-enabled solutions.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues involving models, agents, APIs, integrations, and downstream systems.
• Establish reusable engineering patterns, best practices, and governance standards for Agentic AI development.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers and development teams.

Qualifications

• 6-8 years of hands-on experience in Software Engineering, AI Engineering, Data Engineering, or related technical disciplines. 
• Demonstrated success delivering production-grade AI, Machine Learning, or Generative AI solutions. 
• Experience translating business use cases into scalable AI-enabled applications.
