Chief Agentic AI Engineer

We are seeking a Chief Agentic AI Engineer to build production-grade autonomous agent systems and drive architecture across runtime, memory, identity, tools, and observability. You will lead critical technical decisions, guide adoption of AWS Bedrock AgentCore and Strands, and set standards for MCP-based tooling, evaluations, and guardrails.

• Advanced Python skills with hands-on use of agentic frameworks such as Strands, LangGraph, Claude Agent SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, or CrewAI
• Working knowledge of AWS Bedrock AgentCore components (Runtime, Memory, Identity, Gateway, Observability) or the ability to ramp up quickly
• Strong understanding of MCP, tool use, prompt/context engineering, memory architectures, and agent evaluation approaches
• Demonstrated ability to design production-ready systems with observability, guardrails, retry logic, cost management, and security boundaries
• English proficiency at B2 (Upper-Intermediate) level or higher

Nice to have
