Responsibilities:

Design and implement scalable RESTful APIs endpoints for the AI platform.
Design and develop Python/Java SDKs that provide intuitive interfaces for teams to interact with the AI platform.
Build robust backend services using Python (FastAPI, Django, or Flask) to handle agent lifecycle management, deployment, and monitoring.
Develop secure authentication and authorization systems supporting multi-tenant architecture.
Understand how an agentic solution works and create efficient data access layers and database schemas that enable AI agents to interact with various internal data sources.
Implement asynchronous task processing systems for handling long-running AI agent operations.
Lead technical discussions, mentor junior engineers, and help set the technical vision for the AI platform roadmap.
Ensure compliance with security, privacy, and regulatory requirements across the software development lifecycle.
Provide technical guidance on backend architecture, Python development, and SDK design best practices.
Complete all responsibilities as outlined in the annual performance review and/or goal setting.
Complete all special projects and other duties as assigned.
Must be able to perform duties with or without reasonable accommodation.

Proven experience developing and maintaining SDKs or client libraries for internal or external usage.
Strong experience with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins), and automated testing.
Experience with containerization and orchestration (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
Cloud platform experience (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

Cognitive / Mental Requirements:

Ability to navigate complex and fast-changing technologies and requirements.
Ability to work independently as well as collaborate as a team with a sense of urgency.
Professional with the ability to properly handle confidential information.
