What You Will Do
Design and Develop Scalable Data Systems
Build and optimize high-performance data pipelines and APIs using Python, FastAPI, Spark, and Airflow, ensuring reliability and efficiency for large-scale distributed data.
Develop and Deploy Agentic Systems
Design and implement AI Agents using LangGraph or other agentic frameworks, capable of orchestrating data workflows, integrating with APIs, and leveraging LLMs and ML models for decision-making.
Build Product-Ready AI Agents
Deliver production-grade agents that are containerized, monitored, and scalable — with strong focus on observability, traceability, and monitoring.
End-to-End Ownership
Take full responsibility to build, deploy, and maintain systems — including Kubernetes scheduling, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure setup using Terraform.
Develop and Integrate Frontend Interfaces
Build modern, intuitive interfaces using React or Next.js to interact with agents, visualize data, and enable observability and control for end users.
Ensure Operational Excellence
Instrument applications for observability, monitoring, and traceability, ensuring reliability and performance at scale.
Manage Cloud Deployments
Work hands-on with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services like BigQuery, Cloud Run, Vertex AI, and GCS to deploy and scale AI systems.
Containerize and Automate AI Deployments
Build containerized agents with Docker and orchestrate deployment using Kubernetes. Leverage CI/CD systems for continuous delivery and environment automation.
Optimize for Scale and Maintainability
Design with scalability in mind — ensuring systems can support multiple concurrent agents, handle high throughput, and adapt to growing data volumes.
