THE ROLE

We have an exciting new opportunity available due to growth for an Agentic AI Business Applications Developer  to architect how our team connects to data, exposes capabilities, and delivers high-quality AI outcomes. This is a systems thinking and judgment role — each project is evaluated independently, the right data access strategy is determined from first principles, and the capability layer is built to make AI tools genuinely useful to the people who rely on them.

Our team is a highly technical integrated business function, not a software engineering team, and the core of this role is implementing and maintaining AI capability interfaces — MCP-based servers, callable skills, and API endpoints — that connect AI agents to enterprise business systems with the security, governance, and access controls those environments require. AI output quality is owned end to end: testing, evaluating, monitoring, and continuously improving what AI delivers to users.

This role owns both strategy and execution — determining the right approach for each project, designing the capability layer that defines what AI can do for our team, and directly shaping the quality of the intelligence our colleagues rely on every day.

This role can be remote based within the United States.

THE PERSON

You are a systems thinker, seeing flows, access patterns, and failure modes before writing code. You are known for your business process awareness, designing for context and meaning, not just technical correctness; as well as being known for your sound judgment on data access strategy, able to assess a project, weigh the tradeoffs, and make a defensible architectural call.

Your security-first mindset is the basis for your success in creating governed, auditable, permission-respecting access as a baseline for any AI capability, development and output evaluation. This is a part of your genuine orientation toward output quality, and knowing that what the AI says to the user matters as much as whether the system ran.

You have the ability and a good comfort level for operating in ambiguity as the field continues to evolve rapidly.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Capability Design & AI Interface Architecture

• Design the interface layer connecting AI tools and agents to business systems, selecting the right access pattern for each project
• Make clear, reasoned decisions about live retrieval vs. caching vs. staging vs. structured storage — and own those decisions
• Implement and maintain MCP-based capability interfaces and callable skills with explicit inputs, outputs, and scopes
• Design clean, typed request/response contracts optimized for how AI agents reason and respond

Security, Governance & Access Control

• Design governed access to business systems using RBAC, SSO, and appropriate permission frameworks
• Ensure every capability interface respects the security model of the underlying system — authentication, authorization, audit logging, and rate limiting are requirements, not afterthoughts
• Evaluate data sensitivity and access requirements before connecting any new system to the AI capability layer

Enterprise Systems & Data Integration

• Connect AI capabilities to enterprise business platforms — including analytics tools, collaboration systems, graph APIs, relational databases, and other organizational data sources
• Write Python and SQL to query, transform, and shape data from enterprise sources for AI consumption
• Understand the business processes behind the data — design for business context, not just schema
• Define and consume REST and GraphQL APIs; write OpenAPI specs and JSON Schema definitions

AI Output Quality & Evaluation

• Design and run evaluation frameworks measuring accuracy, relevance, groundedness, and hallucination rates
• Diagnose root causes when AI tools produce poor or inaccurate responses, tracing failures to interface design, retrieval strategy, or data quality
• Establish quality standards across every capability the team builds and continuously improve based on observed outcomes

Documentation, Patterns & Enablement

• Build production-quality documentation for every capability, endpoint, and integration
• Develop reusable patterns and frameworks that make building new capabilities faster and more consistent
• Train team members on AI-friendly system design, capability decomposition, and security considerations
• Stay current with the evolving AI tooling and agent ecosystem and bring relevant advancements back to the team

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Highly preferred:

• Understanding and experience in systems design, API development, platform engineering, or solutions architecture
• Experience integrating with enterprise business platforms such as analytics tools, collaboration systems, and relational databases
• Working knowledge of RBAC, SSO, and governed access control in enterprise environments
• Python and SQL proficiency — comfortable querying, transforming, and integrating data from enterprise systems
• Hands-on experience designing and documenting APIs (OpenAPI, JSON Schema, REST, GraphQL) in production
• Active daily use of modern AI developer tools as a builder — using these tools to build things, not just ask questions
• Demonstrated ability to decompose business processes into discrete, callable capabilities with clear contracts
• Track record of shipping production-grade systems, not just proofs of concept

Preferred:

• Experience implementing or configuring MCP servers or AI agent tool/skill definitions
• Experience designing AI evaluation frameworks (hallucination, relevance, groundedness)
• Background in semiconductor, hardware, or high-tech manufacturing — familiarity with engineering data, supply chain, PLM, or EDA systems is a plus
• Familiarity with RAG architectures and how retrieval design affects AI output quality
• Experience in a business-embedded, non-IT team making independent integration and architecture decisions

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
