• Design, build, and deploy autonomous AI agents, multi-agent systems, and workflow orchestration engines into enterprise APIs and applications.
• Develop and maintain core agent architecture components, including Enterprise Agent Registries, Communication Gateways, and semantic knowledge layers.
• Implement AI telemetry, observability, and evaluation mechanisms using tools such as LangSmith and Langfuse to monitor latency, performance, and trustworthiness.
• Establish enterprise guardrails, agent-level security, authentication, data protection, and cost/scalability optimization across cloud and on-premises environments.
• Solve complex technical blockers across data ingestion, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and real-world system performance.
• Systematically capture deployment learnings, best practices, and code contributions to inform enhancements to Kyndryl's core AI platform ecosystem.
