Skills Required:

Google Cloud Platform

Experience Required:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience). 3+ years building production software systems, including 1–2+ years on ML/AI or LLM-based applications. Proven experience designing and deploying multi-agent or multi-service architectures in production — not just notebooks or demos. As one 2026 hiring analysis puts it, the job is closer to distributed systems engineering with a probabilistic component than it is to ML research or prompt tweaking . Strong Python proficiency, including async/concurrent programming, and experience with backend frameworks (FastAPI, Flask). Hands-on experience with agent orchestration frameworks — LangGraph, CrewAI, LlamaIndex, or equivalent — for building stateful, multi-step, tool-using agent workflows. Practical experience building RAG pipelines: vector databases (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, or Qdrant), embeddings, chunking strategies, and retrieval evaluation. Cloud deployment experience, ideally Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery, Cloud Run/GKE, Vertex AI, Pub/Sub) or equivalent AWS/Azure services. Strong SQL skills and experience with cloud data warehouses. Containerization and CI/CD experience (Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions/Cloud Build). Experience building evaluation and observability pipelines for LLM/agent systems — offline eval sets, LLM-as-judge scoring, and tracing tools (LangSmith, Langfuse, OpenTelemetry, or equivalent) to track task success, latency, and cost. Understanding of LLM safety practices: guardrails, output validation, prompt-injection defense, and safe execution of AI-generated code/SQL (sandboxing, least privilege). Solid software engineering fundamentals: API design, testing, version control, security best practices.

Experience Preferred:

1. Experience with cost optimization and model routing — designing tiered pipelines that route between low-cost and high-capability models based on task complexity, and modeling per-conversation or per-task cost at scale. 2. Experience deploying agentic systems with human-in-the-loop or multi-checkpoint validation workflows for high-reliability/high-stakes use cases. 3. Experience with automotive, EV charging, IoT, or connected-vehicle telemetry data. 4. Familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar standards for tool/data integration across agents. 5. Prior experience in a startup or 0-to-1 product environment, comfortable with ambiguity and fast-evolving requirements.

Education Required:

Bachelor's Degree

Education Preferred:

Master's Degree

Additional Information :

Architect and deploy the production multi-agent orchestration layer (interpreter/orchestrator, NL-to-SQL agent, visualization agent, RCA/RAG agent, report composition agent, notification agent), using modern agent frameworks with state management and checkpointing rather than ad-hoc loops. Design and productionize RAG pipelines (chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, reranking) grounded in approved schemas, engineering documentation, and historical issue records. Own BigQuery integration and enforce safe, least-privilege, validated execution of LLM-generated SQL. Build CI/CD, containerization, and infrastructure-as-code for deploying agent services on GCP (Cloud Run/GKE, Vertex AI). Implement evaluation pipelines and observability/tracing for every agent (golden datasets, LLM-as-judge scoring, regression alerts) so quality is measurable, not assumed. Implement guardrails, prompt-injection defenses, and human-in-the-loop approval checkpoints to ensure correctness and safety before any output triggers downstream action. Design cost/latency optimization strategies, including tiered model routing (cheap filter models vs. high-capability deep-dive models) and caching. Integrate validated outputs with operational systems (Salesforce ticketing, driver/site-manager notifications) and report export pipelines (PDF/HTML/spreadsheet). Collaborate with data scientists to productionize prototypes (anomaly detection, diagnostic agents) into scalable, monitored services. Establish versioning, testing, and safe rollout practices (canary/shadow deployments) for evolving agent logic.
