Job Description – AI Engineer (DTV)

Location

Remote

Role Summary

Hands-on AI Engineer who can design, build, and operationalize enterprise Agentic AI solutions. Rather than calling standard LLM APIs, you will build multi-agent ecosystems, implement cutting-edge protocol integrations (MCP, A2A), customize task-specific models, and engineer end-to-end full-stack applications with production-grade security, low latency, and cost control.

Key Responsibilities

• Advanced Agent & Multi-Agent Engineering

Orchestration & Protocols

Build autonomous agents and multi-agent workflows using Model Context Protocol (MCP) for tool integration and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocols for task delegation.

Agent Capabilities

Design agent state management, short/long-term memory, dynamic planning, reasoning loops, and human-in-the-loop (HITL) fallback paths.

Model Optimization

Fine-tune, customize, and select models (LLMs vs. small task-specific models) based on empirical cost, latency, and accuracy metrics.

• Enterprise RAG & Grounding

Advanced Retrieval

Design chunking, indexing, reranking, and hybrid search (vector + keyword) pipelines with citation enforcement.

Data Privacy

Enforce tenant isolation and RBAC boundaries to prevent unauthorized data cross-contamination.

• Automated Evaluation, MLOps & Guardrails

Systematic Evaluation

Build automated evaluation suites to benchmark groundedness, task completion, tool choice, safety, and agent behavior across updates.

Observability & CI/CD

Establish automated pipelines (Dev/Test/Prod), structured logging, tracing, token-cost tracking, and real-time operational alerting.

AI Guardrails

Implement active protections against prompt injection, jailbreaking, unsafe tool execution, and supply-chain vulnerabilities.

• AI Security, Governance & Compliance

Threat Mitigation

Implement active guardrails against prompt injection, jailbreaking, vector store poisoning, insecure output handling, and supply-chain vulnerabilities.

Access & Data Governance

Enforce Zero-Trust architecture, Identity and Access Management (IAM), secrets management, and secure authorization controls across APIs, agents, and tool execution.

Control Plane

Develop AI control plane mechanisms, including policy enforcement, telemetry, emergency kill-switches, and automated workflows.

• Full-Stack & Enterprise Architecture

End-to-End Application Engineering

Build responsive frontends and backend microservices using REST, GraphQL, and event-driven architectures.

Secure Enterprise Integration

Connect agents to enterprise databases, internal APIs, and Machine-to-Cloud (M2C) platforms while enforcing authorization-aware tool execution, rate limiting, and circuit breakers.

Required Qualifications

Experience

8+ years in software engineering with proven experience with at least 2+ years in hands-on GenAI and AI-DLC applications to production.

Agentic Frameworks & Protocols

Deep experience with MCP, A2A, multi-agent systems, function/tool calling, RAG, taxonomy, and stateful agent orchestration.

Advanced AI/ML

Demonstrated ability in fine-tuning, embedding generation, hybrid RAG, model selection, and prompt/context engineering.

Engineering Rigor

Mastery of automated testing, secure coding (PII/PCI compliance), CI/CD, and performance troubleshooting (latency, throughput, cost).

Education

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Qualifications

Full-Stack & Systems

Strong hands-on proficiency in Python, modern web frontends, microservices, REST/GraphQL APIs, SQL/vector databases, containers, and cloud infrastructure.

Education

Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or equivalent practical experience.
