- Build and operate agent harness capabilities consumed by engineering teams across the enterprise, working within the team's technical direction.
- Integrate agents with tools, APIs, and enterprise systems, and make those integrations reliable under real load.

- Contribute to application and solution design in partnership with architects, product owners, and consuming teams.
- Own your assets end to end, including currency, vulnerability management, and production readiness.
- Document your work so others can build on it, and actively deepen your expertise in the technologies you own.

- Hands-on experience building generative AI or agentic applications.
- Experience using agentic coding tools, with an informed point of view on where they help and where they fall short.
- Familiarity with the components of an agent harness: orchestration loops, tool interfaces, context and memory management, and guardrails.
- Hands-on experience with AWS and/or Azure cloud services.
- Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration tools, including Kubernetes.
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD tooling such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
- SME-level depth in at least one technical discipline, and the appetite to build more.

- Agentic runtimes and harness platforms such as AWS AgentCore experience.
- OSS agent frameworks such as Strands Agents or LangGraph experience.
- Terraform, CDK, or an equivalent for provisioning cloud infrastructure experience.
- Helm for Kubernetes application deployment experience.
- Observability tooling and distributed tracing in production environments experience.
