TL;DR · AWS Agentic AI Engineer

The AWS Agentic AI Engineer will design, build, and deploy autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents on AWS to solve real-world business problems. Working at the intersection of Large Language Models and cloud-native architecture, the engineer will develop goal-driven systems capable of multi-step reasoning, planning, and tool usage. Key responsibilities include implementing Retrieval Augmented Generation solutions, managing model fine-tuning, and optimizing inference cost, latency, and reliability. The role requires advanced proficiency in Python and core AWS services including Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, S3, DynamoDB, Aurora, OpenSearch, Amazon Bedrock, and SageMaker. Candidates must also utilize tools like LangChain, LangGraph, FAISS, and Pinecone. The work involves addressing hallucination mitigation, prompt injection risks, and ensuring compliance with enterprise AI governance and safety standards within a healthcare domain context.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop agentic AI systems using Amazon Bedrock and foundation models like Claude and Titan.
  • Build autonomous agents capable of multi-step reasoning, planning, tool usage, and action execution.
  • Integrate Amazon SageMaker for custom model training, fine-tuning, evaluation, and experimentation.
  • Implement Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions using OpenSearch, Aurora, DynamoDB, and vector databases.
  • Optimize inference cost, latency, scalability, and reliability across all production AI workloads.
  • Implement guardrails, validation layers, and human-in-the-loop controls to ensure safe and predictable AI behavior.
  • Address hallucination mitigation, prompt injection risks, bias concerns, and model misuse scenarios.
  • Implement comprehensive logging, monitoring, observability, and audit trails for all AI systems.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Technology, or a related field.
  • 8–12 years of overall IT experience.
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience building agentic AI solutions using AWS cloud-native services.
  • Strong expertise in AWS services including Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, S3, DynamoDB, Aurora, OpenSearch, Bedrock, and SageMaker.
  • Advanced proficiency in Python for building scalable AI systems and automation workflows.
  • Proven experience leading technical design and implementation of complex AI agent architectures.
  • Hands-on experience designing Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions and applying model fine-tuning techniques.
  • AWS Solutions Architect or Machine Learning Specialty certifications (preferred); experience with LangChain and LangGraph (preferred).
