Job Description & Summary:We are seeking an experienced Agentic Platform Engineer with stronghyperscalercloud engineering skills and deep Pythonexpertiseto design, develop, and deploy intelligent agentic systems across PGC's multi-cloud, multi-platform estate. Unlike a single-cloud specialist role, this position demands genuine platform agnosticism - you will build agents that span Azure AI, Oracle Agentic Studio, and open-source Python frameworks, integrating with Oracle ERP/HCM, Pega, and ServiceNow as PGC transitions from UiPath RPA to next-generation autonomous agent architectures.

Responsibilities:

1. Multi-Cloud Architecture & Implementation

Design and architect scalable, cloud-native solutions on Azure (primary) and AWS (secondary)

Implement microservices and serverless architectures: Azure Functions / AWS Lambda, API Gateway, Container Instances

Deploy and managecontainerizedworkloads using Docker, Kubernetes (AKS / EKS), and Helm

Design event-driven, async architectures using cloud messaging services (Azure Event Hub, AWS SQS/SNS, Apache Kafka)

ImplementIaCusing Terraform (primary) or CloudFormation/ARM for repeatable, auditable deployments

2. Agentic AI Solutions Development

Design and build intelligent agentic systems that automate multi-step workflows and autonomous decision-making

Architect and implement multi-agent systems: task decomposition, specialist sub-agents, orchestrator/supervisor patterns, swarm coordination

Implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines: document ingestion, chunking, embedding, vector retrieval, re-ranking, response synthesis

Integrate and abstract multiple LLM providers: Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, in a provider-agnostic pattern

Design structured output and function/tool calling patterns for reliable agent-to-system interactions

Build agent memory architectures: short-term (in-context), long-term (vector store / relational), episodic (session history)

Evaluate agent and LLM quality: implement RAGAS,LangSmith,PromptFlow, or custom evaluation harnesses in CI/CD

Apply prompt engineering best practices: chain-of-thought, structured prompting, output constraints, guardrails

Implement agentic workflows usingLangChain,AutoGen,CrewAI, or similar - with a view to platform-specific integration (Oracle Agentic Studio, Semantic Kernel)

3. Cross-Platform Enterprise Integration

Build integrations between agentic systems and Oracle ERP/HCM, Pega, and ServiceNow platforms via REST APIs, webhooks, and event streams

Understand and guide RPA-to-Agentic process migration: redesigning UiPath / RPA workflows as autonomous, intelligent agents

Manage vector databases and knowledge store integrations: Pinecone, Chroma,Weaviate,pgvector, Azure AI Search

Design API gateway patterns to route agent invocations across heterogeneous enterprise systems

4. Backend Development with Python

Develop robust production backend services using Python andFastAPI(primary) Flask for lightweight APIs

Build RESTful and event-driven APIs with async/await patterns (asyncio,aiohttp)

Implement SQL and NoSQL database solutionsoptimizedfor agentic workloads (query performance, vector indexing)

Write clean, tested, and documented code -pytestcoverage, type hints, linting (ruff,mypy), CI enforcement

5. DevOps & Infrastructure

Set up andmaintainCI/CD pipelines with agent evaluation gates (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions)

Monitor, log, andoptimizecloud infrastructure and agent system performance

Manage secrets, RBAC, and HIPAA-aligned security compliance across cloud environments

6. Collaboration & Delivery

Work with PGC healthcare stakeholders, domain SMEs, and cross-functional delivery teams

Mentor junior engineers and support cross-skilling of UiPath engineers to Agentic AI delivery

Document architecture decisions, agent design patterns, and solution specifications

Contribute to discovery, ROI modelling, and business case development for new agentic use cases

Mandatory skill sets:

Python & Frameworks:
Production-level Python:FastAPI(primary), Flask, async patterns (asyncio,aiohttp)

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI): awareness of OCI compute, OCI AI Services - notrequiredat depth but expected familiarity
Docker, Kubernetes (AKS/EKS), Helm, container registries
Terraform (primaryIaC) CloudFormation or ARM/Bicep as secondary
Agentic AI & LLM Engineering:
Agentic frameworks:LangChain,AutoGen,CrewAI- production-level usage, not just tutorials
Oracle Agentic Studio: experience or strong willingness to be trained (critical for PGC delivery)
Semantic Kernel: familiarity a plus for Azure-aligned agent orchestration
LLM providers: Azure OpenAI (primary), OpenAI API, Anthropic Claude - provider-agnostic abstraction patterns
RAG pipelines: end-to-end design, embedding model selection, chunking, retrieval, response synthesis, evaluation
Vector databases: Pinecone, Chroma,Weaviate,pgvector, Azure AI Search - schema design, metadata filtering, hybrid search
LLM evaluation: RAGAS,LangSmith,PromptFlow, or custom evaluation harnesses
Multi-agent patterns: supervisor/worker, task delegation, inter-agent messaging, shared state
Structured output and tool/function calling: JSON mode,Pydanticmodels, tool schema definition
Agent memory: context window management, vector-based long-term retrieval, episodic session storage
Prompt engineering: chain-of-thought, structured prompts, guardrails, output constraints
Database & Storage:
SQL: Azure SQL / PostgreSQL - queryoptimization, indexing, partitioning
NoSQL: Azure Cosmos DB, DynamoDB - partition key strategy, TTL, read/write throughput
Vector store design for RAG: schema, metadata, hybrid (keyword + vector) search
Healthcare & Compliance Context (Preferred):
HIPAA compliance awareness in cloud architecture (PHI handling, audit logging, encryption at rest/transit)
HL7/FHIR API familiarity for healthcare data exchange
Basic understanding of healthcare operations: revenue cycle, claims, HR, procurement - the domains agents will automate
