About Position:
Design and build secure, scalable backend services in Java (Spring Boot) and Python, and deliver production-grade AI agent capabilities using Google Agent Development Kit (ADK). Build agentic workflows that can use tools, maintain session context/memory, and generate/refactor code with strong human-in-the-loop review and governance.Integrate agents with enterprise systems and data sources via Model Context Protocol (MCP) and standard APIs, with strong attention to security, observability, reliability, and cost controls.
- Role: Sr. Agentic AI Software Engineer
- Location: Bangalore/Hyderabad
- Experience: 5+ years
- Job Type: Full Time Employment
What You'll Do:
- Develop high-scale microservices and APIs using Java 17+, Spring Boot, and REST/gRPC; apply solid engineering fundamentals (OOP, concurrency, performance).
- Build Python services (e.g., FastAPI) that host agent logic and AI integrations; implement robust error handling, retries, and structured outputs.
- Create and orchestrate agents using Google ADK: define agents, attach tools/functions, manage sessions and memory, and implement multi-step workflows (sequential/parallel/routed).
- Implement MCP-based integrations: expose internal tools/resources as MCP servers (where applicable) and consume MCP tools from agents/clients securely.
- Deliver LLM features (tool/function calling, prompt & context engineering, evaluation) and implement RAG patterns with embeddings and vector databases when grounding is required.
- Implement secure authN/authZ (OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, RBAC/ABAC) and follow secure SDLC practices (threat modeling, secrets hygiene, vulnerability remediation).
- Containerize and deploy services using Docker and Kubernetes (AKS/OCP preferred); build CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/Jenkins/Harness) with quality gates.
- Implement observability (logs/metrics/tracing), SLOs/SLIs, and performance testing; participate in incident response and root cause remediation.
- Mentor engineers, perform design/code reviews, and collaborate with product, security, data, and platform teams in an Agile/Scrum environment.
- LangChain/LangGraph or similar orchestration frameworks; experience combining them with ADK where useful.
- Vector DB experience and RAG evaluation practices.
- GCP/Vertex AI (or other cloud LLM hosting) and production deployment patterns (Cloud Run/Agent Engine).
- Kafka/Flink or event-driven architectures for real-time systems.
- Front-end exposure (React/Angular) for agent-driven UIs or developer tooling.
Expertise You'll Bring:
- Strong Java backend engineering (Java 17+, Spring Boot, microservices, REST/gRPC).
- Strong Python engineering (OOP, typing, async patterns, packaging) and service development.
- Hands-on experience building agents and workflows with Google ADK (agents, tools, sessions/memory).
- Comfort working with LLMs: tool/function calling, structured outputs, prompt & context engineering, safety considerations.
- Understanding of MCP concepts (resources, tools, prompts; client-server model) and ability to integrate tools using MCP or standard APIs.
- Ability to produce high-quality code with AI-assisted code generation, plus strong review/verification and testing discipline.
- Security fundamentals: OAuth2/OIDC, JWT, secure coding, secrets management; familiarity with mTLS/cert management is a plus.
- Cloud-native fundamentals: Docker, Kubernetes; CI/CD pipelines; basic monitoring/observability.
- Bachelor?s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Engineering (B.E./B.Tech), or a related technical field
- Master?s degree (M. Tech/ MCA or equivalent) is preferred but not mandatory
Benefits:
- Competitive salary and benefits package
- Culture focused on talent development with quarterly growth opportunities and company-sponsored higher education and certifications
- Opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies
- Employee engagement initiatives such as project parties, flexible work hours, and Long Service awards
- Annual health check-ups
- Insurance coverage: group term life, personal accident, and Mediclaim hospitalization for self, spouse, two children, and parents
