About this role:

We are seeking an AI Engineer to help design, build, and deliver next-generation AI-enabled applications and agentic systems. This role combines hands-on engineering across frontend applications, Python backend services, MCP infrastructure, agent workflows, and secure enterprise integrations.

As an AI Engineer, you will build user-facing applications and backend services that integrate with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, LLM-based applications, RAG-based retrieval systems, and agent orchestration platforms. You will work closely with AI developers, platform engineers, product teams, and other stakeholders to deliver scalable, secure, observable, and production-ready AI solutions.

This engineering role is suited for candidates who can contribute across the full stack while also helping shape reusable patterns for MCP-enabled tools, skills, and agent-driven workflows.

In this role you will:

• Design, build, and maintain AI-enabled applications using React, TypeScript, Python, and modern API frameworks.

• Develop frontend applications aligned with enterprise UI standards and reusable component patterns.

• Build and maintain Python backend services, APIs, MCP services, and integration layers using frameworks such as MCP, FastAPI & Flask.

• Design, implement, and integrate with MCP servers and MCP clients that enable secure context sharing between models, tools, applications, and agent runtimes.

• Develop and support agentic workflows that execute complex, multi-step tasks using frameworks such as LangChain Deep Agents, Google ADK, or similar agent frameworks.

• Build skill-based and modular agents that decompose capabilities into reusable, composable, and versioned skills.

• Build reusable components, services, tool schemas, and integration patterns that can be shared across enterprise AI applications.

• Integrate logging, tracing, and observability frameworks, including Arize & Splunk compatible logging and agent observability tooling.

• Ensure applications and services are ready for deployment on enterprise container platforms such as OpenShift or Kubernetes.

• Collaborate with AI developers, platform engineers, product teams, and architecture partners to deliver robust and scalable AI solutions.

Key responsibilities:

• Deliver end-to-end AI application features using MCP services, and agent orchestration layers.

• Own and contribute to MCP service implementations, including tool schema design, tool registration, API integration, authorization enforcement, and deployment readiness.

• Build and maintain MCP-compatible tools, skills, APIs, and UI components for use across AI applications and agent runtimes.

• Integrate AI-powered user interfaces with backend APIs, MCP servers, RAG systems, and agent workflows.

• Implement RBAC policies governing which users, agents, clients, and applications can invoke specific tools or services.

• Develop agent workflows that support complex user objectives through mcp & skill orchestration.

• Align solutions with enterprise platform standards, including application scaffolding, security, observability, logging, testing, and deployment practices.

• Ensure frontend applications are performant, accessible, maintainable, and aligned with reusable design patterns.

• Ensure backend and AI services are scalable, observable, secure, and ready for deployment on OpenShift or Kubernetes-based environments.

• Write and maintain technical documentation, integration guides, API specifications, and operational runbooks.

• Contribute to engineering best practices, including code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and production support readiness.

Required qualifications:

• Specialty Software Engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education

• Strong proficiency in Python with experience building services using frameworks such as Fast MCP, FastAPI & Flask.

• Experience developing and integrating with REST APIs, asynchronous services, and event-driven architectures.

• Experience integrating with AI, LLM-based systems, agent platforms, or AI APIs.

• Experience with React and TypeScript for building frontend applications.

• Experience with authentication, authorization, and access control patterns, including SSO, OAuth 2.0, API keys, token-based access, RBAC, and scopes.

• Experience building or integrating with MCP servers & understanding of MCP protocol, including tool registration, schemas, message flows, clients, servers, and lifecycle patterns.

• Experience developing agent-driven workflows using frameworks such as LangChain, Google ADK, or similar orchestration frameworks.

• Experience frontend fundamentals, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, browser rendering, DOM APIs, and performance tuning.

• Experience with automated testing with Playwright, performance testing, code reviews, and CI/CD practices.

• Experience building secure, scalable, maintainable applications aligned with enterprise platform standards.

Desired qualifications:

• Experience building MCP servers using FastMCP or similar Python-based MCP frameworks.

• Experience designing MCP-compatible tools, reusable skills, and modular agent capabilities.

• Familiarity with tool schema design and structured output validation using tools such as Pydantic, JSON Schema, or Zod.

• Experience with long-running autonomous agents that support retries, state persistence, error recovery, graceful termination, and multi-step workflow execution. Experience with RAG-based retrieval systems, vector search, embeddings, or enterprise knowledge retrieval patterns.

• Experience with agent observability and tracing tools such as LangSmith, OpenTelemetry, Arize, or similar platforms.

• Exposure to Splunk or enterprise observability frameworks.

• Experience with Docker, OpenShift, Kubernetes, or similar containerization and deployment platforms.

• Experience with Copilot Studio, Microsoft Teams UI integration, or conversational application platforms.

• Knowledge of prompt engineering, skill engineering, and knowledge graphs such as llm_wiki and OKF.

• Familiarity with secure enterprise software delivery, platform governance, and reusable engineering standards.
