Key Responsibilities

Design & Build AI Middleware:

• Design and build API gateways, wrappers, and middleware services that expose studio systems and data to AI agents.

• Manage secure access to tools, metadata, and content systems through model context protocol (MCP).

• Standardize how agents’ interface with internal services across the supply chain.

Build Agentic Workflows:

• Deploy agentic platforms such as LangGraph or LangChain to manage tool execution, context routing, and decision logic.

• Implement tracing, audit logging, and governance checkpoints including human approval and fallback paths.

• Integrate orchestration into media workflows such as mastering, localization, and delivery.

Productize and Optimize AI Services:

• Translate prototypes into production-ready microservices using Java, TypeScript, or Python, deployed via Kubernetes and managed through CI/CD pipelines.

• Implement event-driven services using Kafka, EventBridge, or SNS/SQS to support loosely coupled, fault-tolerant communication across services.

• Build and maintain APIs with clear contracts, emphasizing reliability, observability, and long-term maintainability.

Lead, Collaborate, and Mentor:

• Work directly with ML engineers, platform teams, and product managers to deliver business-ready AI capabilities.

• Contribute to technical planning, system design, and delivery reviews across

engineering and product.

• Mentor team members and stay current on emerging trends in LLM tooling,

orchestration, and agent frameworks.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or master's degree in a Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field.

• 8+ years of backend or systems engineering experience, with at least 3 years building AI-powered or workflow-centric platforms.

• Proficient in Java, Python, or Node.js, with deep understanding of testing, observability, and systems at scale.

• Production experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, and container orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes.

• Hands-on experience deploying infrastructure via Terraform, CDK, or similar

infrastructure-as-code frameworks.

• Experience building or integrating workflow engines, ideally in LLM or GenAI contexts.

• Clear, structured communication skills and a track record of technical leadership in cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with LLM frameworks and APIs such as LangGraph, LangChain, OpenAI, or Anthropic.

• Background in media, entertainment, or content operations, including localization or post-production workflows.

• Experience building multi-tenant or shared platform services.

• Exposure to Agile delivery practices and DevOps automation at scale.

• Contributions to GenAI open-source projects or internal AI/ML infrastructure tooling.
