AI Platform Developer
Greater Boston
Full-time
Hybrid
Senior Level
$120K/yr - $170K/yr
5+ years expHED is an inclusive architecture and engineering practice that values diverse perspectives and experiences. They are hiring an AI Platform Developer to build and maintain AI agent systems that integrate with governed data, focusing on operational foundations and reliability.
Consulting
Responsibilities
Design, build, and orchestrate multi-agent workflows (handoffs, coordination, retries/fallbacks, and failure handling) for business-critical use cases
Develop agents with role-appropriate personas, boundaries, and context so outputs are consistent, trustworthy, and aligned to business intent
Own Bronze-layer ingestion: build and maintain connectors/interfaces; manage schema drift, reliability, change handling, monitoring, and alerting
Treat data inputs/outputs as contracts—versioned, traceable, testable—and implement validation at data boundaries
Implement observability across the AI lifecycle (structured logs, traces, evaluation artifacts, and audit trails) so systems are debuggable and reviewable
Implement guardrails and controls: budgets, rate limits, model selection strategy, safe defaults, and kill-switches to prevent runaway behavior
Apply governance and access boundaries early (permissions, sensitive data handling, traceability, compliance posture) rather than bolting it on later
Produce durable documentation (architecture notes, runbooks, interface contracts) and enable others to operate and extend the platform
Provide evidence-based buy vs. build recommendations, and advocate for responsible sunsetting when systems reach end-of-life
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's degree in computer science, data engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
5+ years of software engineering and/or data engineering experience, including building and operating production services
Demonstrated experience deploying and supporting AI/LLM systems in production (monitoring, incidents, iteration, and measured improvement)
Hands-on multi-agent orchestration experience (e.g., LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar), including workflow design and failure handling
Experience owning connectors/ingestion pipelines (reliability patterns such as retries, idempotency, schema/version management, and alerting)
Strong Python engineering skills; comfort working with APIs, data stores, and workflow/orchestration tooling
Operational discipline: logging, audit trails, debugging methodology, cost/token controls, and rollback mindset
Documentation-first habits (design notes, runbooks, interface contracts) and the ability to communicate tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
Preferred
Databricks/lakehouse + medallion familiarity; experience implementing governance/audit requirements; AEC or project-based domain exposure
Comfortable using AI-enabled productivity tools for meetings and knowledge capture (e.g., Fireflies AI Note Taker) while maintaining privacy and compliance boundaries
Benefits
Hybrid model that promotes both autonomy and collaboration
Freedom to work from home
Regular in-office days to connect with teammates and build culture
