Soft Tech Consulting is seeking an
AI Mid Software Engineer with strong technical acumen, creativity, and problem-solving ability to design, implement, and optimize AI-powered solutions built on modern agentic frameworks. In this role, you will develop intelligent workflows using foundation models (e.g., Claude Sonnet, Claude Opus, etc.), configure multi-agent systems, integrate AI with enterprise applications and data systems, and iteratively tune and evaluate agent behavior to deliver reliable, real-world outcomes.
The selected candidate will collaborate closely with a community of generative AI specialists, software engineers, data scientists, solution architects, cybersecurity experts, and product owners to deliver innovative, production-ready AI systems that transform our clients' ecosystems and reinvent the way they operate.
Responsibilities- Design, build, and optimize agentic AI systems using orchestration frameworks like LangGraph, CrewAI, Google ADK, or AWS Bedrock AgentCore, etc.
- Implement multi-step, tool-enabled AI agentic workflows that combine LLM reasoning, RAG, retrieval systems, external APIs, and custom enterprise tools.
- Use leading foundation models (Claude Sonnet, Claude Opus, , etc.) on Amazon Bedrock to build capabilities including structured generation, extraction, summarization, planning, and decision support.
- Iteratively tune and refine AI workflows through prompt engineering, instruction design, agent configuration, and tool-use optimization.
- Conduct structured testing and evaluation of AI behavior, including regression tests, scenario-based evaluations, synthetic test creation, and model-to-model comparisons.
- Diagnose issues such as hallucinations, retrieval mismatches, tool-use errors, or unexpected agent behavior, and implement corrective strategies including guardrails and workflow adjustments.
- Integrate AI components with vector databases, graph databases, internal applications, and other infrastructure tools-working alongside engineers who manage the underlying systems.
- Document model usage patterns, agent behaviors, experimental findings, workflow designs, and best practices for reproducibility and maintainability.
- Collaborate with cybersecurity and governance teams to ensure AI implementations adhere to required policies and safe-use guidelines.
QualificationsREQUIRED- Top Secret Cleared.
- Bachelor's Degree required.
- Minimum 5 years of related experience.
- Ability to iteratively tune, evaluate, and validate AI workflows, including refining prompts, agent configurations, tool-calling patterns, and retrieval strategies.
- Experience designing and running structured tests for AI behavior such as regression tests, scenario-based evaluations, synthetic testing, and model comparisons.
- Skill in diagnosing and correcting AI system failures, including hallucinations, retrieval issues, or tool-use errors, and implementing guardrails or workflow adjustments.
- Documents and maintains AI models, agent behaviors, experiments, and workflow designs.
- Proficient in data modeling and familiar with AWS Bedrock services.
- Proficiency in Python; familiarity with JavaScript or other languages beneficial.
- Comfortable working with CI/CD and Git-based development workflows
- Experience integrating observability tools into AI application workflows (logging, metrics, traces).
- Experience with AI Agents & Workflow Integration (Intermediate)
- Experience with AI Prompting (Intermediate)
- Python Software Development (Intermediate)
- AWS AI Services (Intermediate)
- Experience with AI Architecture (Intermediate)
- Must be able to communicate effectively, both verbal and written.
- Must be able to work independently, with minimal oversight.
- Able to develop strong client relationships
