• Relevant certifications such as Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift or AWS Certified Solutions Architect / Machine Learning Specialty.
• Active contribution to open-source GenAI projects, MCP servers, or multi-agent ecosystem tools.

The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise in Python for AI/LLM orchestration, a strong backend foundation in Java (Spring Boot), and proven experience deploying and managing containerized workloads across a hybrid-cloud topology consisting of on-premises Red Hat OpenShift and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

JOB DESCRIPTION

Role Overview are seeking an experienced Senior Generative AI / Platform Engineer to lead the architecture, development, and scaling of our next-generation AI orchestration platform.

In this role, you will bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI research and robust enterprise infrastructure.

You will be responsible for designing advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, building resilient AI Agents, implementing cutting-edge interoperability protocols like MCP, and pioneering multi-agent (Agent-to-Agent) collaboration networks.

Core Responsibilities

Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure & Deployment

Architect, deploy, and scale GenAI services, vector databases, and model gateways across a hybrid environment utilizing on-premises Red Hat OpenShift and public cloud services in AWS (e.g., EKS, Bedrock, EC2).

Advanced RAG & Retrieval Optimization

Design and optimize enterprise RAG pipelines.

• Implement advanced retrieval strategies, including hybrid search (vector + lexical) and high-precision reranking workflows (using cross-encoders) to minimize LLM context noise, optimize token usage, and eliminate hallucinations.

Agentic Systems & Tool Orchestration

Build, deploy, and monitor production-grade AI Agents capable of autonomous planning, tool usage, complex multi-step reasoning, and self-correction.

Context Integration & Interoperability

Architect scalable integrations between LLMs and enterprise data silos using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), establishing clean, standardized interfaces for tool servers and data sources.

Multi-Agent Networks (A2A)

Design and implement Agent-to-Agent (A2A) collaboration systems, enabling specialized, decoupled agents to communicate, delegate tasks, and negotiate state synchronously or asynchronously.

Enterprise Integration & Backend Development

Build secure, high-throughput, and fault-tolerant microservices in Java/Spring Boot to serve GenAI features, manage data orchestration, and expose robust endpoints.
