You must be adept at Java (and possibly other JVM-based languages) for enterprise-grade systems, comfortable with Python for AI/ML workflows (e.g., PyTorch), and proficient in cloud deployment strategies. Beyond that, you'll integrate LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.), leverage retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) frameworks, and decide when to fine-tune models or use them as-is. As a power user of AI-based tools, you'll be expected to optimize your own coding through AI assistants, while also guiding best practices for prompt engineering, LLM orchestration, and system reliability.
Key Responsibilities Technical Leadership & Architecture:
- Architect and implement high-throughput APIs that integrate with and leverage AI services
- Make key architectural decisions on API security, scalability, reliability, and how to incorporate LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) into our platform
- Lead integration solutions using Spring Boot 3.x, reactive patterns (WebFlux), and API gateways (Apigee) while mentoring other developers
- Champion improvements in integration best practices (performance, security) with a focus on enabling AI-driven applications and ensuring efficient content retrieval workflows where relevant
- Collaborate with AI and platform engineers to design APIs for model inferencing (e.g., hosting endpoints for LLM queries, vector search, or other AI-driven tasks)
- Implement secure API patterns (OAuth2, JWT, etc.) to protect sensitive data, particularly when fine-tuning or retrieving embeddings for AI models
- Leverage Spring Boot 3.x, Spring Security, Spring WebFlux to build production-grade solutions that can scale with AI usage
- Drive observability (monitoring, alerting, logging) and reliability practices, ensuring resilience and smooth user experiences
- Good grasp on generative model evaluation metrics for different use cases
- Partner with Product Owners to shape technical requirements and best approaches for AI-enabled product features, translating business goals into architectural designs
- Lead API design reviews and architecture discussions focusing on AI integration and alignment with our broader microservices ecosystem
- Foster a culture of knowledge sharing, especially around LLM usage, integration patterns, and AI code assistants (GitHub Copilot, etc.)
- Drive alignment with Platform Engineering and MLOps practices, ensuring automated deployment of AI-enabled services
- Architectural direction for integration patterns that incorporate AI components (e.g., RAG, models, agents)
- Technology choices for new solutions around Gen AI usage, vector databases, and AI frameworks (SpringAI, LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI)
- API standards and security patterns
- SLA and performance requirements
- 8+ years of commercial software development, focusing on integration/APIs
- Expert knowledge of Spring Framework ecosystem (particularly Boot 3.x, Security, WebFlux)
- Mastery of API security, including OAuth2, JWT, and API key management
- Track record of delivering high-performance, secure system designs
- Strong command of AWS, Azure or GCP cloud services
- Experience consuming LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), orchestrating prompts or agentic workflows
- Familiarity with RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), term/embedding-based search
- Daily usage of AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot) to speed up development workflows
- Real-time data processing and streaming architecture experience
- Hosting model endpoints using bedrock or similar
- Graph API implementation experience
- Experience with Kafka or similar message brokers
- Advanced system architecture and API design capabilities
- Expert-level API security implementation knowledge
- Deep understanding of cloud-native architectures
- Strong performance optimization and troubleshooting skills
- Advanced DevOps and automation practices
- Proven track mentoring and guiding developers
- Strong stakeholder management capabilities
- Advanced problem-solving and analytical skills
- Clear technical documentation abilities
- Experience driving technical initiatives across teams
