Key Responsibilities- Design, build, and maintain integrations between the AI/agentic platform and enterprise systems, internal applications, third-party tools, and business services
- Implement secure, scalable connectivity patterns that enable AI agents and workflows to access data, trigger actions, and interact with enterprise platforms
- Develop and support integrations using MCP, A2A, APIs, webhooks, and event-driven architectures
- Create reusable connectors, middleware components, and service patterns that accelerate onboarding of new tools and systems into the AI platform
- Partner with platform, product, data, security, and enterprise application teams to ensure integrations meet technical, business, and compliance requirements
- Design robust authentication and authorization patterns for integrated AI services, including identity propagation, token handling, and access control
- Enable AI workflows to interact reliably with core enterprise platforms such as collaboration tools, knowledge systems, workflow tools, and line-of-business applications
- Support integration patterns for structured and unstructured data sources used by AI and agentic applications
- Implement monitoring, logging, tracing, error handling, and alerting for integration services and platform connectors
- Ensure integrations are resilient, maintainable, observable, and aligned with enterprise architecture standards
- Contribute to platform governance by defining integration standards, documentation, onboarding guidance, and best practices
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to connectivity, data exchange, authentication, latency, and downstream service dependencies
- Evaluate emerging standards and tools in AI system interoperability and enterprise integrations to inform platform evolution
Required Qualifications- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Software Engineering, or a related technical field; equivalent practical experience may be considered
- 8+ years of experience in software engineering, platform engineering, or enterprise integrations
- Strong hands-on experience designing and implementing API-based integrations in enterprise environments
- Experience with MCP, A2A, service-to-service communication, or similar integration/interoperability patterns
- Strong understanding of event-driven architecture, messaging systems, asynchronous processing, and workflow-based integration design
- Experience with authentication and authorization standards such as OAuth, OIDC, SSO, service principals, secrets management, and token-based security
- Familiarity with enterprise application integration patterns, middleware, and distributed systems design
- Experience building secure, scalable, and reliable production services
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work across multiple systems, teams, and technical domains
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to document and explain integration approaches clearly
- Deep understanding of AI-native software engineering practices and experience establishing standards, governance, and best practices for the responsible use of AI coding assistants and software engineering agents across engineering teams
- Experience defining architecture, standards, and reusable services for large-scale enterprise environments
Technical Skills Required- MCP and A2A protocols
- REST APIs and service integration
- Webhooks and event-driven integration patterns
- Enterprise application integration
- Authentication and authorization design

- Versioning, testing, and deployment of integration services
Preferred Skills- Experience integrating AI or agentic platforms with enterprise tools and business systems
- Familiarity with workflow orchestration platforms and automation frameworks
- Experience building reusable connectors or SDKs for platform extensibility
- Knowledge of enterprise data platforms, document systems, knowledge repositories, and collaboration tools
- Experience with regulated environments such as biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or life sciences
- Exposure to AI platform patterns including tool use, agent execution, retrieval, and action frameworks
- Experience supporting platform governance, security reviews, and integration documentation
- Understanding of observability practices for complex, multi-system workflows
