About The Role

Braviant Holdings is building a new AI & Automation practice and is hiring two hands-on engineers to design, deploy, and govern AI-powered automation workflows. This greenfield role focuses on replacing manual processes with agentic AI in areas like consumer lending originations, credit risk, compliance, and internal operations.

You will build production-grade agents using the Anthropic ecosystem (Claude, Claude Code), AWS infrastructure, and the preferred Strands Agents SDK (with flexibility to use CrewAI, LangGraph, etc.).

Key Responsibilities

Agent & Workflow Development

* Design and build AI agent workflows to automate business processes.

* Migrate manual processes into governed, production-grade pipelines with human-in-the-loop checkpoints.

* Utilize Strands Agents SDK as the default framework, selecting alternative tools (e.g., CrewAI, LangGraph) where appropriate.

* Implement structured outputs, function calling, and tool-use patterns to connect LLMs with business logic.

Tool Integration & Automation Engineering

* Manage and build MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers/clients for secure API and data access.

* Develop skills, plugins, and tool integrations for AI platforms like Claude.

* Integrate AI capabilities via REST APIs, event queues, and AWS services.

* Implement lightweight automation connectors (n8n, Zapier, Make) for specific workflows.

Observability & Responsible AI

* Instrument workflows with logging, tracing, and alerting for auditing and debugging.

* Implement guardrails, usage controls, and compliance standards for AI deployments.

* Contribute to responsible AI documentation, runbooks, and incident response playbooks.

* Stay current on agentic AI developments and regulatory requirements.

Collaboration

* Partner with business stakeholders to translate requirements into technical specs.

* Contribute to shared frameworks, reusable components, and engineering standards.

* Participate in design and code reviews.

Requirements

Required

* 2–4 years of software engineering experience with production Python and SQL.

* Proven experience shipping AI/ML or LLM-powered solutions in real production environments.

* Practical experience with agentic/LLM orchestration frameworks (Strands, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, etc.).

* Experience integrating AI services via APIs and building function-calling patterns.

* Familiarity with AWS and cloud-native architecture.

* Daily use of AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot).

* Strong skills in prompt engineering and structured outputs.

* Excellent written communication for technical and compliance documentation.

* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or similar technical field (or equivalent experience).

Preferred

* Experience with Amazon Bedrock, Bedrock AgentCore, or Strands Agents SDK.

* Experience with MCP servers/clients and plugin development.

* Background in fintech, consumer lending, or regulated financial services.

* Familiarity with RAG architectures, vector databases, or knowledge graphs.

* Knowledge of application security (auth, secrets, RBAC, audit logging).

* Experience with AI observability and evaluation practices.

Benefits & Perks

* Competitive compensation and annual discretionary bonus plan.

* Comprehensive healthcare (medical, dental, vision).

* Generous PTO, sick time, and 13 company holidays.

* 401(k) with company contribution.
