THE ROLE
This is a high-impact contract opportunity for a seasoned AI engineer ready to shape the future of conversational and autonomous AI at enterprise scale. You will be embedded in a cross-functional team focused on designing and delivering a sophisticated agentic AI platform — one that enables intelligent, multi-turn conversations and autonomous decision-making across a complex ecosystem of internal tools and external integrations. If you have deep hands-on experience building production-grade AI agents and a passion for pushing the boundaries of what language models can do in real-world environments, this role was built for you.
─────────────────────────────────────────
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Architect, build, and maintain agentic AI solutions that power enterprise-grade conversational platforms
- Design and orchestrate multi-agent workflows that incorporate tool use, memory, and autonomous reasoning
- Develop and optimize AI-driven applications leveraging large language models, retrieval systems, and agent orchestration frameworks
- Integrate agentic systems with both internal services and external customer-facing interfaces, ensuring seamless interoperability
- Build and maintain APIs and microservices that support scalable, production-ready AI deployments
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and continuously improve AI-enabled applications running in live production environments
- Apply responsible AI principles including model governance, security best practices, and enterprise compliance standards
- Collaborate closely with a dedicated AI/ML team, contributing to model evaluation, performance metrics, and quality benchmarking
- Contribute to platform tooling and protocol integrations that extend agent capabilities across diverse use cases

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
• Proficiency in Python for AI/ML application development
• Strong Java development skills in enterprise environments
• Hands-on experience with LangGraph for agent orchestration
• Experience with vLLM or comparable model serving frameworks
• Production experience building and deploying agentic AI systems
• Expertise in multi-agent workflow design and autonomous decision frameworks
• Solid background in API development and microservices architecture
• Experience monitoring and supporting AI applications in production
• Familiarity with responsible AI, model governance, and security standards
• Understanding of model performance metrics and evaluation practices
The ideal candidate brings a proven track record of taking agentic AI systems from concept through to production in complex, regulated, or large-scale enterprise settings. You are comfortable working at the intersection of software engineering and applied AI — writing clean, maintainable code while also reasoning deeply about how agents plan, use tools, and interact with users. Experience with conversational AI platforms and a working knowledge of how model metrics inform system quality will set you apart. You thrive in collaborative environments where you interface with both technical teams and business stakeholders to deliver intelligent solutions that work reliably at scale.

NICE TO HAVE
• Experience with Google ADK or comparable agent development kits
• Familiarity with MCP tooling or similar protocol-based agent integrations
• Background in financial services or other regulated enterprise industries
• Prior work integrating AI systems with external customer-facing products
• Exposure to retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architectures
Candidates who bring experience with emerging agent development frameworks and protocol-based tool integrations will find immediate opportunities to apply that knowledge here. A background in regulated industries is a meaningful advantage, as the team operates within a governance-conscious environment where security and compliance are built into the development process from day one. Familiarity with RAG pipelines or experience bridging AI capabilities across both internal platforms and external customer touchpoints will accelerate your contribution from the start.
