Work alongside our data platform team to enable AI-driven analytics and reporting tools
Implement monitoring, observability, and feedback loops for deployed AI workflows
Ensure responsible AI practices, including fairness, transparency, and risk mitigation

Stay current on industry trends, emerging AI capabilities, and best practices in automation engineering
Mentor engineers on integrating AI into their development workflows
Qualifications:
7+ years in software engineering, with 2+ years focused on AI/ML, automation, or agentic systems.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Hands-on experience building and deploying AI agents, LLM-based workflows, or intelligent automation solutions.
Strong proficiency with Python and modern AI/ML frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, AWS Bedrock, or similar).
Experience with cloud platforms, preferably AWS, including Lambda, Fargate, Glue, and other serverless technologies.
Deep understanding of API design, integration patterns, and event-driven architectures.
Strong knowledge of data management, security, quality, and governance best practices.
Ability to translate business needs into technical solutions with clear, phased delivery plans.
Strong Agile proficiency with practical application to deliver incremental, high-quality solutions.
Excellent analytical and communication skills, capable of influencing both technical and business stakeholders.
