Experience programming in one or more of the following languages: Python, Java, C#, or TypeScript/JavaScript.
Experience developing REST APIs and distributed services.
Experience working with cloud computing platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform) and software engineering fundamentals (e.g., design patterns, testing, CI/CD, security, and observability).
Preferred qualifications:
Experience with Large Language Model (LLM) platforms (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Azure OpenAI, Gemini).
Experience building AI agents, MCP-based integrations, tool-calling frameworks, and multi-agent workflows.
Experience with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, embeddings, and vector databases.
Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, Cloud Run).
Familiarity with prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, and working in Agile development environments.
Ability to independently deliver AI features while working under technical guidance from senior engineering leadership.
