- Design and deliver agentic workloads into production.
- Use cloud services and IaC to build, deploy, and manage environments.
- Implement technical guardrails such as input validation, output filtering, and hallucination detection.
- Work with engineering, product, and business teams throughout the agentic AI lifecycle.
- Apply robust prompt engineering, context management, and system tuning.
- Research and implement new techniques in agentic architectures, tool‑use patterns, multi‑agent workflows, and A2A communication.




- Design and build MCP servers and integrations for agent access to external systems and tools.
- Maintain safety documentation, audit trails, and support broader AI governance.
- Train teams on AI capabilities and workflows.
- Build or use frameworks for automated hallucination checks and response validation.

What We’re Looking For

- Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or related field.
- 3–5 years in machine learning, deep learning, or AI development.
- Strong understanding of agentic design patterns: tool use, planning, reasoning, memory, and autonomous orchestration.
- Hands‑on experience with LLMs and frameworks such as AgentCore Runtime, Gateway, Strands, or LangChain.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
- Ability to deliver in complex, fast‑paced environments.
- Financial services exposure is a plus.
