Platform Engineer II

Job Summary

The Agentic AI Engineer II supports the development, integration, and improvement of agentic AI components and workflows within defined solution areas. The role implements approved designs as reliable agents, orchestration flows, APIs, and integrations using large language models, enterprise data, and external tools. Working under the guidance of architects and senior engineers, and collaborating with data engineers and product teams, the engineer follows established patterns for testing, deployment, monitoring, security, and Responsible AI. The role primarily focuses on hands-on implementation, troubleshooting, documentation, and contribution to reusable delivery assets.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, configure, and test agentic AI components using large language models and approved enterprise platforms.
• Implement prompt flows, retrieval, agent orchestration, tool use, memory, and model interaction patterns based on provided designs.
• Develop and maintain APIs, pipelines, and integrations that connect agentic AI capabilities with products and business workflows.
• Work with data engineers to connect suitable datasets and knowledge sources for grounding and evaluation.
• Follow established Responsible AI, security, privacy, explainability, and data-governance controls.
• Perform functional testing and basic monitoring of model and agent performance; troubleshoot defects and implement agreed improvements.
• Support CI/CD activities, operational documentation, reusable components, and production-support tasks.
• Build familiarity with relevant agentic frameworks, LLM APIs, and open-source tools, and share implementation learnings with the team.
