Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and deploy multi-agent AI systems using agentic frameworks to automate software engineering workflows.
  • Integrate GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, and other LLMs with internal developer tools through APIs.
  • Develop secure agent tools that interact with source repositories, CI/CD pipelines, Jira, and project management systems using sandboxing and least privilege.
  • Build NLP pipelines that convert product requirement documents into sprint-ready Jira stories through the Jira API.
  • Create AI-assisted coding, UX, frontend generation, backend scaffolding, unit testing, and pull request review workflows.
  • Automate approved-code promotion and deployment to pre-production environments in partnership with Technical Operations.
  • Design AI automations that support asynchronous handoffs and continuous delivery across US, India, and other global engineering teams.
