  • Develop backend services and integrations using Python.
  • Support AI workloads leveraging GCP technologies and BigQuery.
  • Optimize AI agent performance, token utilization, and cost efficiency.
  • Partner with business stakeholders to understand and solve real-world use cases.
  • Build scalable and maintainable AI solutions that improve decision-making across multiple business domains.
  • Support deployment, monitoring, and operational excellence of AI-powered systems.

Required Qualifications

  • Strong Python development experience.
  • Experience building or supporting AI Agents and Agentic Workflows.
  • Experience working with LLMs and Generative AI technologies.
  • Exposure to AI SDKs such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar platforms.
  • Experience integrating APIs into AI-driven solutions.
  • GCP cloud experience, including BigQuery and cloud-native services.
  • Experience working with unstructured data.
  • Understanding of AI agent optimization, deployment, and operational performance.
  • Hands-on experience with agent orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, or Google Agent Development Kit (ADK).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Background in AI Engineering, Software Engineering, Machine Learning Engineering, or Data Engineering.
  • Experience deploying containerized applications using Docker.
  • Exposure to CI/CD processes and automation pipelines.
  • Experience working in multi-cloud environments (GCP preferred, Azure exposure helpful).
  • Retail, supply chain, planning, forecasting, or allocation experience is a plus.
  • SQL and/or R experience.
