In this role, you will:
- Design and deploy production-grade LLM applications and intelligent agents capable of complex reasoning, secure tool usage and autonomous multi-step workflows.
- Architect enterprise data/tool integrations using MCP servers, establishing standardized, reusable connectors across Procurement, Supply Chain, Legal, Finance, HR and Manufacturing (MES).
- Enforce security guardrails via AI gateways - authentication, rate-limiting, logging and policy compliance for all model/agent traffic.
- Implement identity inheritance via SSO, ensuring agents act strictly within the requesting user's permissions & privileges (no privilege escalation, no standing overreach).
- Work with the Information Security team on access control (RBAC/ABAC) for agentic systems and establish observability standards for agent behavior and data access.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to build secure, code-driven AI automation.
Qualifications:
- 10+ years in Data/Software Engineering, with 2+ years deploying GenAI/LLMs in production.
- Deep Python proficiency; experience with LangChain, LlamaIndex or provider-native orchestration (e.g., Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Assistants/Agents SDK or hand-rolled).
- Hands-on experience building/integrating MCP servers or comparable connector frameworks.
- Experienced in AI gateway solutions (e.g. Cloudflare AI Gateway) for governing agent traffic.
- Working knowledge of SSO/identity federation (SAML, OIDC, OAuth 2.0) and propagating identity through agentic tool calls.
- Experience with cloud AI services (AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI) and vector databases (MongoDB, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, OpenSearch).
Bonus Qualifications:
- Experience building AI solutions for corporate functions like Finance, Legal (e.g. contract analysis), HR (e.g. policy retrieval), Supply Chain (e.g. forecasting efficiency) or Manufacturing (e.g., MES data integration, production/quality analytics)
- Familiarity with AI platform vendor evaluations (Bedrock, Vertex, Cortex, etc.)
- Experience defining enterprise IAM integration patterns (Okta, Entra ID, Ping) for AI systems and establishing AI governance frameworks or centers of excellence
- Previous experience in the autonomous vehicle, robotics or high-tech manufacturing sectors.
