AI Developer

Role overview :
We are hiring AI Developers (Python, Django, React) to join a client's AI productivity team. The team builds AI agents for business users on AWS, and a major program pilots in November 2026.
What you'll work on :
You will join one of three workstreams, all on the same Python, Django and React stack on AWS.
- AI agents and MCP layer : Build MCP servers and agent back ends with AWS Bedrock and Python.
- Use LLMs (Claude) and Azure Document Intelligence to read, parse and classify emails, POs and invoices.
- AI agent observability : Instrument agents with OpenTelemetry (OTEL). Build tracing, metrics and dashboards that show agent accuracy, cost and performance.
- Feedback and learning : Build the loop where business users rate agent output. Use that feedback, with LLM guidance, to improve prompts. No model fine-tuning is involved.
Across all three, you will :
- Build React front ends and Python/Django APIs end to end.
- Keep agent output accurate and consistent, and watch token cost.
- Ship fast : a new screen requested in the morning should often be ready by end of day.
Required skills :
- Strong Python and Django, including REST APIs.
- React for production front ends.
- Hands-on AWS, especially Bedrock.
- Built at least one real LLM application : prompting, tool calling or agents, and parsing structured data from documents.
- Working knowledge of MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar agent-tool integration.
- Daily use of AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor or similar).
- Clear spoken and written English.
Nice to have :
- OpenTelemetry or other observability tools for AI or distributed systems.
- Azure Document Intelligence or other OCR and document AI services.
- LLM evaluation, prompt versioning or human-feedback loops.
- Awareness of token cost and ways to reduce it (caching, batching, model choice).
- Past work on enterprise email, PO or invoice processing.
What we look for :
Attitude and speed matter as much as coding skill. The right person :
- Works from verbal requirements. Meeting discussions and transcripts often replace formal design documents and turn into stories.
- Asks the right questions early instead of waiting for perfect specs.
- Delivers in hours or days, not weeks.
- Owns the outcome, including accuracy and consistency of AI output.
- Adapts quickly as tools and requirements change.
