**Responsibilities**
- Build and deliver large-scale cloud-native agent platform capabilities primarily on AWS, leveraging REST APIs, WebSockets, Server-Sent Events (SSE), microservices, and event-driven architectures to create highly scalable and resilient systems.
- Work hands-on across the technology stack — including Python, Django, TypeScript, React, FastAPI, Celery, PostgreSQL, Redis, OpenSearch, AWS Bedrock, Strands Agent SDK, MCP, Terraform, and Docker — to solve complex engineering challenges and maintain platform excellence.
- Design, develop, and operate agent runtime services including spec compilation, pre-flight authorization, skills seeding, MCP tool orchestration, streaming responses, and run package recording.
- Build and enhance agent builder and product UIs (Agent Cloud, Core Agent, responsive web) and shared frontend libraries using React 19, shadcn/ui, TanStack Query, and type-safe OpenAPI client generation.
- Implement MCP catalog, gateway, and federation capabilities; integrate domain MCP servers for loyalty, customer CDP, messaging, digital media, and related enterprise systems.
- Drive performance optimization, scalability, reliability, security, tenant isolation, governance, and cost efficiency across agent execution and platform services.
- Collaborate closely with global engineering, product management, architecture, AI/ML, and business stakeholders to align technical solutions with strategic business objectives.
- Own the end-to-end software development lifecycle, including requirements gathering, solution design, development, deployment, observability, and documentation.
- Contribute to observability and quality through OpenTelemetry instrumentation, Grafana/Phoenix tracing, pytest/Vitest/Playwright testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
- At Lead and Staff levels: mentor engineers, lead technical design reviews, set engineering standards, and drive cross-team initiatives for runtime performance, MCP federation, orchestration, and multi-tenant scale.
**Qualifications**
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, IT, or related field.
- 8–11 years of experience in software engineering, including 8–10 years in technical ownership and delivery leadership roles.
- Proven ability to design and deliver scalable, distributed systems across backend, frontend, and runtime layers.
- Strong leadership skills with experience mentoring engineers, leading epics, and driving cross-service execution.
- Hands-on expertise in Python and Django (DRF/Ninja) for building production-grade APIs, data models, and async workloads (Celery).
- Strong experience with TypeScript and React ecosystems (React 19, Vite, monorepos) for modern web application development.
- Solid experience in REST APIs, microservices, containerization (Docker/ECS Fargate), and cloud-native architectures.
- Proficiency in PostgreSQL, Redis, and search/indexing systems (OpenSearch); exposure to document/graph databases is a plus.
- Deep experience with AWS services such as ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, SQS, ALB, IAM, CloudFront, and Bedrock.
- Strong understanding of asynchronous systems, messaging, and real-time communication (SSE/WebSockets).
- Experience with authentication and authorization (Okta/OIDC, JWT) in multi-tenant SaaS environments.
- Working knowledge of DevOps and IaC practices (Terraform/AWS CDK), CI/CD pipelines, and testing frameworks.
- Exposure to Generative AI technologies (LLMs, RAG, agent-based systems) with hands-on experience preferred.
**Nice to have:**
- Experience with Strands Agent SDK, AWS Bedrock AgentCore, LiteLLM, or comparable agent runtime frameworks.
- Experience building MCP servers or tool-calling integrations using FastMCP or similar frameworks.
- Experience with agent evaluation (DeepEval, Guardrails AI), LLM observability (Arize Phoenix, Langfuse, OpenTelemetry), and token metering.
- Experience with React Flow (xyflow) for workflow visualization, CodeMirror for in-browser editors, and declarative UI / SSE event streaming.
- Experience with Expo / React Native for mobile applications.
- Experience with A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol, cross-account AWS agent execution, and Step Functions / EventBridge orchestration.
- Working knowledge of Neo4j, Trino, Databricks, or Vertex AI RAG integrations.
- Experience building platforms in privacy-safe, Customer Data Platform (CDP), or Marketing Technology environments.
- Experience with GoCD, Husky pre-commit hooks, Orval OpenAPI code generation, and monorepo development workflows.
**Specialization Tracks:**
- Platform Backend — Django apps, APIs, Celery, PostgreSQL, tenant isolation, publishing workflows.
- Agent Runtime / AI — Strands SDK, Bedrock, MCP, RAG, evaluation, streaming, performance optimization.
- Frontend / UX — React apps, shadcn/ui, workflow editors, SSE streaming, type-safe API clients.
