• Build MCP servers and clients that securely connect large language models (LLMs) to enterprise data sources and developer tools.
• Contribute to the architecture of an internal AI platform, with a focus on performance, low latency, and a smooth developer experience.
• Write high-quality, production-ready code, build prototypes, and help set engineering best practices for AI development.
• Write clear design documents, mentor engineers, and explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

What we’re looking for

• 8–12 years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong programming skills in Python or Java.
• Solid system design skills: you can break down complex problems, weigh trade-offs, and design services that hold up at scale.
• Experience building and deploying on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.

Nice to have

• Hands-on experience building LLM applications: RAG pipelines, vector databases, prompt engineering.
• Experience with agent frameworks such as LangGraph, AutoGen, or CrewAI.
