Develop and maintain data and ML pipelines: feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and monitoring. Integrate AI systems with enterprise applications (CRMs, ERPs, ITSM tools) via APIs, events, and MCP-based tool servers. Implement guardrails, prompt-injection defences, and evaluation frameworks to keep AI systems safe and reliable in production. 

Write clean, tested, production-grade code and participate actively in code and design reviews. 

Collaborate with architects, product managers, and delivery teams to translate requirements into working AI solutions. Troubleshoot and optimise AI systems for accuracy, latency, and cost in production. 

Required Qualifications 

8–12 years of hands-on software engineering experience, with a strong, unbroken technical track record. Hands-on experience building and shipping AI/ML systems in production, not just POCs. 

Practical experience with agentic AI systems and at least one major agent framework (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK, Bedrock Agents/Strands, or Semantic Kernel). 

Experience with LLM/GenAI systems: RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, structured outputs, and tool calling across providers.
