Requirements

  • At least 10 years of software engineering experience, including at least 4 years leading AI and agentic architecture or technical delivery across multiple teams, or equivalent demonstrated expertise.
  • Experience deploying and operating multiple large language model or agentic applications in production.
  • Strong Python, application programming interface (API), distributed systems, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agent orchestration skills.
  • Experience with cloud deployment, containers, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), evaluation, and observability.
  • Ability to explain trade-offs and influence technical and business stakeholders.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with quality assurance and domain experts on test datasets, task-success measures, groundedness, tool-call accuracy, adversarial testing, and release acceptance criteria.
  • Implement continuous integration and continuous delivery, versioning, monitoring, agent tracing, fallbacks, and rollback; track reliability, latency, and cost per successful task, and support incident resolution.
  • Apply least-privilege tool access, sensitive-data protection, prompt-injection defenses, auditability, and approval controls with Security and governance teams.
  • Introduce and govern AI-assisted engineering practices such as coding agents, AI code review, and test generation, and measure their effect on delivery speed and quality.
  • Prioritize use cases with Product, maintain the technical roadmap, and share reusable components and lessons across teams to improve delivery speed and customer value.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with AWS and Amazon Bedrock, including AgentCore; LangGraph, Stands, or comparable agent frameworks; Model Context Protocol; semantic layers, ontologies, or knowledge graphs; insurance or other regulated data products; and AI-enabled software development lifecycle practices.
