Responsibilities

  • Design, build, test, deploy, and operate highly available control plane APIs and data plane services for production AI agents.
  • Build secure, isolated execution capabilities spanning tool orchestration, memory, context management, and observability.
  • Develop integrations between Amazon Bedrock and third-party models and services.
  • Implement versioning, endpoints, progressive deployment, rollback, evaluation, and optimization capabilities.
  • Analyze and improve latency, scalability, availability, resource efficiency, and cost controls across multi-tenant workloads.
  • Simplify the developer journey across APIs, SDKs, CLI, console, and infrastructure as code.
  • Work directly with customers and partner teams to identify and reduce friction in the development process.
  • Contribute to architectural decisions within Harness and collaborate with teams across AgentCore.
