Software & Full Stack Engineering
Design and develop scalable applications using Java/JDK 17+, Spring Boot and microservices.
Build REST APIs and integrate with enterprise systems, relational/NoSQL databases and external services.
Develop modern web applications and conversational widgets using React and TypeScript/JavaScript.
Apply sound software engineering principles, design patterns, automated testing and code quality practices.
GenAI & Agentic AI
Develop GenAI and Agentic AI POCs using Python, Vertex AI, ADK and related frameworks.
Build agentic workflows involving tool calling, planning, memory/context management and guardrails.
Implement RAG, embeddings, vector search and prompt engineering solutions.
Build integrations using Model Context Protocol (MCP) and other LLM tool/function-calling frameworks.
Evaluate emerging AI technologies and transition successful POCs into production-grade solutions.
Cloud & Platform Engineering
Build and deploy cloud-native applications on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Work with GKE/Kubernetes, Docker, Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Pub/Sub and Secret Manager.
Implement CI/CD, monitoring, logging, error handling and production observability.
Optimize application and LLM workloads for performance, scalability and cost.
Develop data pipelines using Dataflow, Apache Beam or Spark where required.
Engineering Leadership & Quality
Participate in architecture, design discussions and code reviews.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute reusable engineering patterns and best practices.
Ensure production readiness through testing, observability, resiliency and operational support.
Apply security and Responsible AI practices including IAM, secrets management, data protection, guardrails and audit logging.
