Experience: 3 to 6  years (with strong recent AI/LLM experience)

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with strong expertise in Agentic AI systems to design, build, and scale intelligent, autonomous AI solutions. The ideal candidate will combine deep software engineering fundamentals with hands‑on experience in agent orchestration, model context management, and modern AI frameworks, while maintaining strong design thinking and logical problem‑solving skills.

You will play a key role in developing AI agents that reason, plan, collaborate, and execute tasks across enterprise systems using Python, Agentic AI frameworks, MCP (Model Context Protocol), and low‑code platforms.

 

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and deploy Agentic AI systems capable of reasoning, planning, tool usage, and multi‑agent collaboration in Microsoft Azure
  • Implement Model Context Protocol (MCP)–based architectures for secure and scalable tool/function orchestration
  • Build robust backend services and APIs using Python following strong OOPS and software design principles
  • Integrate AI agents with enterprise systems, databases, APIs, and low‑code platforms
  • Design clean, modular, and extensible architectures with high reusability and maintainability
  • Optimize agent workflows for performance, reliability, and contextual accuracy
  • Collaborate with architects, product teams, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into AI‑driven solutions
  • Stay updated with emerging trends in LLMs, Agentic AI, and AI tooling ecosystems

 

Required Skills And Qualifications

Core Technical Skills

  • Expert‑level Python development for backend and AI applications
  • Strong understanding and practical experience with Agentic AI frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, etc.)
  • Solid experience implementing or working with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar tool‑calling / agent‑tool orchestration patterns
  • Excellent grasp of Object‑Oriented Programming (OOPS) concepts and design patterns
  • Experience integrating AI solutions with low‑code / no‑code platforms (e.g., Power Apps, Copilot Studio)
  • Strong logical thinking and problem‑solving abilities

 

Design And Engineering Excellence

  • Proven ability to produce clean, well‑structured, and scalable designs
  • Strong understanding of system design, modularity, and separation of concerns
  • Experience with REST APIs, async processing, and event‑driven architectures
  • Familiarity with version control, CI/CD, and code quality practices

 

Good to Have

  • Experience with enterprise AI deployments, governance, and security considerations
  • Knowledge of LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG, embeddings, and vector databases
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (Azure )
  • Experience building AI copilots or virtual agents for business workflows
  • Understanding of observability, logging, and monitoring for AI systems

 

What We’re Looking For

  • A strong engineer mindset with a balance of pragmatism and innovation
  • Passion for AI‑first architecture and design thinking
  • Ability to own solutions end‑to‑end—from design to deployment
  • Clear communication skills and a collaborative attitude
