Design and implement AI skills and agent workflows for real business use cases.
Develop and integrate MCP servers so agents and tools can reliably connect to internal systems and data.
Design, implement, and consume REST APIs for data and AI services.
Collaborate with product, data, and engineering teams to turn requirements into working platform capabilities.
Own quality, reliability, and documentation of pipelines, APIs, and AI components.
Work independently with strong written and verbal communication across teams and locations.
Required Qualifications
5+ years of experience in software engineering, data engineering, or a closely related platform role.
Strong proficiency in Python and SQL.
Hands-on experience building and operating ETL/ELT data pipelines.
