Artificial Intelligence Engineer - Senior

- Advanced Python engineering — idiomatic, typed, tested and packaged code — on a solid software engineering foundation (design, version control, architecture). Other languages follow the engagement; Python is the core. - Hands-on agent building with at least one ADK (Google ADK, LangGraph, CrewAI, OpenAI Agents SDK, AWS Bedrock AgentCore or Microsoft Agent Framework / Semantic Kernel). - Solid command of agent engineering: prompt engineering, context engineering, prompt caching, RAG / context graphs, tool / function calling, MCP and multi-agent orchestration. - Eval-driven development: designing evaluation harnesses and measuring agent quality, safety and reliability. - Standards-based integration and DevSecOps: APIs, secure authentication and authorisation, IAM, CI/CD, observability, resilience and AgentOps. - Ability to conceptualise a business problem as an agent quickly, and operate effectively in ambiguous, client-embedded settings. - Client-facing consulting skills: discovery facilitation, process assessment, use-case selection, stakeholder management and executive communication. - Comfortable working across account, consulting, architecture, data, security and delivery teams to get a solution to production. - Responsible AI as a working discipline — applied throughout agent design, evaluation and production governance. - Experience mentoring or leading small engineering teams. What great looks like (strongly preferred) - Deep fluency in at least one ADK, with the breadth and judgement to pick up others and choose the right one per engagement. - Deploying agents to managed runtimes at enterprise scale (e.g. Vertex AI Agent Engine, Bedrock AgentCore) with governance and cost control. - Domain depth in a transformation area — finance operations, supply chain, HR, claims or compliance. - Experience with an enterprise agent platform, including Responsible AI and governance at scale. - A track record of turning agents into reusable accelerators or IP adopted beyond a single engagement, and spotting where else they apply.
