•              Collaborate with data scientists, AI/ML engineers, and frontend developers to integrate agentic intelligence into production systems.

•              Write clean, maintainable, and testable code while following best practices in software engineering.

•              Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize system performance, scalability, and fault-tolerance.

•              Contribute to workflow automation, context management, and intelligent decision-making systems.

•              Stay up to date with emerging technologies in AI, distributed systems, and backend engineering

Qualifications/Required skills:

•              Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.

•              5+ years of backend engineering experience with strong expertise in Java (Java 11+) and Python.

•              Proven experience with agentic workflows (autonomous task orchestration, tool use, context-driven execution).

•              Hands-on with MCP (Model Context Protocol) service development and integration.

•              Strong understanding of microservices architecture, RESTful APIs, gRPC, and message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, etc.).

•              Experience with databases (SQL & NoSQL) and caching solutions (Redis, Memcached).

•              Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).

•              Solid grasp of concurrency, multithreading, and distributed systems design.

•              Proficiency in CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks (JUnit, Mockito), and code quality tools.

•              Excellent problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills

Preferred Qualification:

•              Experience with AI/ML infrastructure, LLM-based applications, or agent frameworks.

•              Knowledge of event sourcing, CQRS, and workflow engines (e.g., Temporal, Camunda, Airflow).

•              Contributions to open-source projects related to agentic systems or MCP.

•              Understanding of observability (logging, tracing, metrics) in distributed systems.

Behavioral Skills:

•              Excellent Communication skills and collaboration skills

•              Ability to propose and implement improvements in the system

•              Ability to work with cross-functional stakeholders

Below are top 5 skills for Candidate assessment.

• Java (11+) and Python Backend Development – strong coding & microservices experience
• Agentic Workflows – orchestration, autonomous task execution, tool use
• MCP (Model Context Protocol) – service development & integration
• Distributed Systems & APIs – REST/gRPC, event-driven architectures
• Cloud & Containers – AWS/GCP/Azure, Docker, Kubernetes

Nice to have : experience with workflow engines (Temporal, Camunda), AI/ML infrastructure, and event streaming (Kafka).
