- Implement guardrails for identity, authorization, tool permissions, prompt and response handling, data classification, logging, evaluation, and human approval.
- Develop automated evaluation suites for accuracy, safety, latency, cost, and task completion; use results to continuously improve agent behavior.
- Implement CI with GitHub Actions and CD with Harness for agent code, configuration, prompts, evaluations, and deployment artifacts.
- Partner with SMEs to curate approved knowledge, define escalation paths, and establish human-in-the-loop controls for high-risk actions.
- Monitor production agent usage, failures, hallucination patterns, and tool-call outcomes; maintain runbooks and operational dashboards.
- Contribute reusable agent patterns, MCP integration standards, prompt conventions, and reference implementations for the CPS AI Build Line.

Required Qualifications

- Strong experience in secure software engineering, machine-learning engineering, or AI engineering experience with deploying agent to AWS and building IaC code to deploy applications
