The candidate will be responsible for designing, developing, integrating, and managing intelligent AI agents capable of reasoning, using tools, interacting with enterprise systems, and automating complex business workflows.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and deploy AI agent solutions for enterprise use cases.
- Build intelligent and autonomous agents using Agent Development Kit (ADK) and other relevant agent frameworks.
- Develop scalable backend services and APIs using Python and FastAPI.
- Integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI capabilities into AI agent applications.
- Design agent workflows involving reasoning, planning, tool calling, memory, and multi-step task execution.
- Develop integrations with external APIs, databases, enterprise applications, and third-party services.
- Implement prompt engineering and optimize LLM interactions for accuracy, reliability, and performance.
- Build and maintain RAG-based solutions using appropriate retrieval and knowledge-grounding techniques.
- Evaluate agent performance and continuously improve response quality, reliability, and efficiency.
- Develop mechanisms for monitoring, logging, error handling, and troubleshooting AI agent applications.
- Collaborate with product managers, architects, data scientists, and software engineering teams to translate business requirements into AI solutions.
- Ensure AI agent solutions are scalable, secure, maintainable, and production-ready.
- Maintain technical documentation for agent architecture, workflows, APIs, integrations, and deployment processes.
- Stay updated with emerging technologies and best practices in Agentic AI, LLMs, and Generative AI.
Required Skills:
- 6+ years of experience in AI/ML, AI Engineering, Software Engineering, or related fields.
