You Are:
As an Advanced AI, Large Language Model and Agentic AI Developer/Consultant, you will build production-grade AI applications that transform enterprise workflows. You will translate business and product requirements into secure, scalable software components spanning LLM applications, agent orchestration, enterprise knowledge integration, workflow automation, evaluation, observability and AI Ops. You will integrate and customize LLMs with enterprise systems, APIs and data platforms so clients can move from prototypes to measurable business outcomes.

You will be required to maintain a practical understanding of the evolving Gen AI and agentic AI stack, including model selection, prompt and context engineering, advanced RAG, tool/function calling, MCP/A2A-style integration patterns, orchestration frameworks, guardrails, Responsible AI, security and production operations. You will use that knowledge to build AI-enabled applications and agentic workflows that deliver business value.

Position Responsibilities:

Design, build and support end-to-end Generative AI, LLM and agentic AI applications that transform enterprise workflows for specific business needs, following architecture guidance and delivery standards.
Build tool integrations, workflow actions and API connectors that allow agents to safely retrieve information, execute tasks and hand work back to people when judgment or approval is required.
Create automated tests, evaluations and monitoring for prompts, retrieval quality, agent behavior, security controls, latency, cost and production reliability.
Work in agile, cross-functional delivery teams and communicate technical trade-offs clearly to architects, product owners, business SMEs and client stakeholders.
Leverage, customize and implement Gen AI models, orchestration frameworks, retrieval patterns and agentic design patterns to improve the quality, reliability and adoption of AI products, applications and systems.
Develop LLM-based and agentic applications using open source and cloud frameworks such as LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, LangChain, Pydantic, AutoGen, CrewAI, MCP/A2A-enabled tools or equivalent enterprise AI platforms.
Adapt LLMs and agent workflows to improve performance, accuracy, alignment, reliability, safety and business relevance.
Develop and integrate LLMs, agents and AI application components into products, services, enterprise systems, APIs and workflow platforms.
Implement AI applications that comply with Responsible AI, ethical, privacy, security and legal standards, including data protection, consent, access controls, auditability and human-in-the-loop escalation.
Analyze and evaluate Gen AI and agentic system performance using model, workflow and business outcome metrics, and recommend improvements to quality, safety, latency, cost and user trust.
Contribute to the right technology choices for generative AI and agentic solutions across models, frameworks, cloud services, data platforms, integration layers, observability tools and security controls.
Design and prototype reusable components for LLM and agentic solution patterns, including prompts, context pipelines, memory, tool use, workflow handoffs, human approvals, evaluations and integration adapters.
Build components of LLM and agentic AI solutions that address Responsible AI, privacy, cybersecurity, data governance, auditability, resiliency and regulatory expectations.
Implement LLMOps and AgentOps practices for operationalization, including CI/CD, automated evaluation, prompt and model lifecycle management, monitoring, incident response, cost controls and continuous improvement.
Collaborate with business process owners, product teams, designers, data and platform engineers, security, legal/privacy, risk, change management and operations teams to identify, prioritize and deliver AI-enabled workflow transformation.
Create and maintain clear technical, integration, evaluation and operations documentation that helps cross-functional teams build, troubleshoot, govern and continuously improve AI and agentic solutions.
Apply modern transformer, embedding, retrieval, reasoning and multimodal model capabilities to optimize solution performance, user experience and enterprise workflow outcomes.
Translate advances in transformer architectures and agentic AI into practical software patterns that reshape knowledge work, decision support, service operations and software engineering productivity.
Travel may be required for this role.

What you need:
