Job Description:
About the role:
Were building Centralized Agentic AI Framework a shared platform that brings safe, governed, cost-aware AI agents into every teams GitLab workflow.
You'll be a hands-on engineer building and extending this platform writing the Lambdas that orchestrate agents, integrating Bedrock with GitLab CI, hardening the security and observability layers, and shipping new agent capabilities that any team can adopt without re-architecting.
What you'll do:
- Build agent orchestration implement Router Lambdas, SQS-based queueing, and Bedrock Agent invocation
- Integrate with GitLab CI/CD design .gitlab-ci.yml patterns where agent invocations run as pipeline stages, consume branch/diff/test context, emit artefacts, and gate downstream stages on agent pass/fail signals.
- Develop shared Action Groups build the AWS Lambda-backed tools
- Design Knowledge Bases iUtilise AWS Bedrock Knowledge Base / OpenSearch / S3 so agents reason over shared organizational context, not isolated prompts.
- Implement Bedrock Guardrails input/output filters, sensitive-data scrubbing, content/word filters, and per-agent permission boundaries enforced by design.
- Implement TokenOps controls model tiering and routing via an LLM gateway, semantic caching, context-window management
- Instrument everything in AWS CloudWatch dashboards, audit trails, trace logging of every agent invocation (input, output, decision, tokens, cost) for compliance and debugging.
Required (37 years of professional experience):
- Strong Python, AWS SDK Python for building production Lambda functions and event-driven services.
- Solid AWS experience: Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, EventBridge, IAM, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch.
- Amazon Bedrock specifically: Agents, Action Groups, Knowledge Bases, Guardrails.
- Hands-on experience integrating with LLM APIs Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar.
- Familiarity with CI/CD platforms GitLab CI strongly
- A security mindset: least-privilege IAM, secrets handling, input validation, awareness of prompt injection and data-leak risks in LLM workflows.
- Comfortable with observability structured logging, metrics, tracing and writing code that's debuggable in production.
Skills: Nice to have:
- Vector search / RAG: OpenSearch, embeddings, retrieval evaluation.
- FinOps or TokenOps: cost attribution, model routing, semantic caching, batch inference.
- Experience building developer platforms or internal tooling youve shipped something other engineers depend on daily.
- Familiarity with agent frameworks (Bedrock AgentCore) and their tradeoffs.
How you work:
- You write small, focused services with clear contracts not monoliths.
- You treat extensibility as a feature: new triggers/agents/tools shouldnt require touching unrelated layers.
- You think about the developer experience of the teams wholl use your platform, not just whether the code runs.
- Your'e comfortable with ambiguity agentic systems are non-deterministic, and you debug them empirically.
