About the Role:

We are expanding our AI capabilities and building a strong internal foundation to support a wide range of AI-driven initiatives. We are seeking a highly skilled AI Developer who can design and implement next-generation AI solutions within an AWS environment. This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies like AWS Bedrock, Agentic AI, and Model Context Protocol (MCP), while contributing to the development of our in-house frameworks.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and deploy AI solutions using AWS services (Lambda, Bedrock, etc.).
  • Build and manage custom MCP servers to centralize data workflows (e.g., pulling and transforming Snowflake data).
  • Develop and maintain Agentic and multi-agent frameworks for orchestration and workflow automation.
  • Utilize libraries such as FastMCP to create MCP clients and desktop environments.
  • Work with frameworks including LangChain, LangGraph, Bedrock, and Amazon Strands to build scalable AI agents.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define requirements and deliver AI solutions.
  • Stay current with rapidly evolving AI technologies and frameworks.

Required Qualifications:

  • 4–5 years of hands-on AWS experience, with strong knowledge of Lambda and related services.
  • Proven expertise with AWS Bedrock and Agentic AI frameworks.
  • Proficiency in Python programming and relevant libraries.
  • Hands-on experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) — preferably since its introduction in late 2024.
  • Ability to build custom MCP servers, clients, and desktop environments.
  • Experience creating Agentic frameworks and multi-agent orchestration (2+ agents, 3–4 step workflows).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with alternative frameworks such as GlueAI or Microsoft Autogen.
  • Familiarity with financial services or banking environments.
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills.

Team & Process:

  • You’ll be part of a 10-member team (not all are AI developers).
  • Candidates must complete a technical evaluation prior to panel interviews.
  • Progression to the interview stage will be based on test performance.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to work at the forefront of AI innovation — building frameworks and systems that will shape the way we deploy multi-agent, MCP-driven AI solutions. If you’re passionate about pushing boundaries in AI and eager to grow with us along our maturity cycle, we’d love to hear from you.
