agents through controlled APIs and reusable components.
You will be the first engineering lead oEshore, responsible for hands-on development,
platform design, and establishing engineering standards.
Key Responsibilities
Platform Build & Architecture
• Refactor an existing Python-based prototype into a modular, production-grade
platform
• Define clear service boundaries (API layer, orchestration, agent runtime, data
access)
• Build reusable components that allow extension without exposing core engine
logic
Agent Framework & Orchestration
• Design and implement frameworks for AI agents and reporting workflows
• Build orchestration for multi-step execution (deterministic + AI-driven)
• Ensure outputs are traceable, auditable, and suitable for financial reporting
Developer Enablement
• Enable internal/client developers to:
o build and deploy reporting agents
o reuse approved components
o access platform capabilities via APIs (without direct code access)
