1. Technical Leadership & Collaboration

• Partner with product, engineering, data, security, cloud, and business teams to translate complex requirements into practical AI solutions.
• Provide technical leadership through design and code reviews, reusable engineering standards, mentoring, and hands-on problem solving.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 6+ years of professional software, platform, or AI engineering experience, with recent hands-on experience building generative AI or agentic AI applications.
• Strong programming and software engineering skills in Python and/or TypeScript/JavaScript, with experience building APIs, backend services, and modern web applications.
• Strong hands-on experience building pro-code LLM and agentic applications, including agent frameworks, tool/function calling, RAG, workflow orchestration, state and memory management, and enterprise integration.
• Strong hands-on experience with GCP and Microsoft Azure, with deep expertise in at least one platform and practical working experience in the other.
• Experience designing and operating production cloud applications, including containers or managed runtimes, CI/CD, databases, APIs, monitoring, identity, and security.
• Strong system-design and architecture fundamentals, with the ability to balance scalability, reliability, security, maintainability, and cost.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to lead technical discussions and work effectively across engineering and business teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with modern agent frameworks such as Google ADK, Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, Semantic Kernel, or equivalent.
• Experience with enterprise AI evaluation, observability, governance, AgentOps/LLMOps, or responsible AI practices.
• Experience integrating AI with Microsoft 365/SharePoint, SAP, content/media platforms, or enterprise data and analytics platforms.
