- Build and maintain integrations with modern Agent SDKs and Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Design backend microservices using Python and AWS.
- Build observability into AI systems, including telemetry, monitoring, tracing, and operational visibility.
- Develop public-facing developer tools and command-line interfaces (CLI).
- Partner closely with AI researchers to rapidly transition prototypes into production-ready systems.
- Own projects from architecture through deployment.
- Help define engineering standards and reusable patterns across the AI platform.
- Collaborate with senior engineers while independently leading technical initiatives when appropriate.
