Creative Problem Solving:Prototype novel solutions that blend technical rigor with human-centered product thinking.
AI Platform Integration:Develop abstraction layers across AI providers (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, etc.) to enable seamless integration and enablement.
Cloud-Native Product & Software Engineering:Apply containerization (Kubernetes, Docker), microservices, serverless, event-driven architectures, CI/CD, and observability to create and integrate scalable AI-native systems.
Domain-Specific Workflows:Tailor and deploy agentic applications across industry verticals (e.g. finance, healthcare, retail) - addressing domain-specific processes via intelligent automation.
Storytelling & Communication:Lead design workshops, POCs, and code-with sessions; communicate technical tradeoffs and solution impact clearly to both executives and engineers.
Measure & Improve:Define and use key metrics, test harnesses, and evaluation plans to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost effectiveness
Knowledge Sharing:Craft reusable patterns, documentation, and best practices to influence internal assets and client roadmaps.
QualificationWe are looking for experience in the following skills:
Minimum 2 years engineering experience with cloud-native systems (APIs, microservices, containerization, serverless).
Deep expertise in designing and deploying agentic solutions (agents, orchestration, context engineering, RAG, workflows) in production environments.
Strong experience with AI platforms - OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, plus open-source models - including building abstraction layers to manage multi-provider pipelines.
Strong programming experience in Python, Java, C# or equivalent; familiarity with evaluation tooling, logging, monitoring, and agent observability.
Experience deploying to production - CI/CD, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm), monitoring, and debugging.
Excellent client communication and collaboration skills - able to orchestrate across stakeholders, run design workshops, and deliver under ambiguity.
A creative, product-oriented mindset - you don’t just code solutions, you design experiences that stick.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent; additional AI certifications or agentic tool experience is a plus.
Bonus Points If:
You’ve served as a Product Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Agentic AI Engineer in an enterprise environment.
You’ve defined or worked with enterprise-grade architectures for compound AI systems, orchestration frameworks, or agent registry/stream-based architectures.
You master the AI-native paradigm - blending cloud-native with generative model architectures - optimizing for performance, modularity, and efficiency.
You’ve delivered solutions across multiple industries (e.g., finance, healthcare) by tailoring agentic workflows to industry needs.
You’ve demonstrated creative solutioning (e.g., hackathons, product incubation, startup experience).
