You will own how we build retrieval pipelines, deploy and manage remote agents, create MCP servers, route and govern model access, and evaluate all of it. When a new use case arrives, this team builds the scaffolding and often a proof of concept, then hands off to the feature team that owns the production system.<br />AI adoption here has moved fast: agentic coding tools are in active rollout across multiple business units, autonomous agents already open merge requests against production repositories, and a centralized LLM gateway is live. The platform runs primarily on <b>Python </b>with some <b>TypeScript</b>/Node, on <b>Kubernetes </b>and <b>Google Cloud</b>, alongside vector stores for retrieval, LLM evaluation and observability tooling, a workflow orchestration platform for production AI pipelines, and a growing fleet of internal MCP servers. Porch's product services are predominantly <b>JVM-based</b> (<b>Java, Kotlin, Scala</b>), and the agents you build will operate on that code.</p><p><br /><b>What You Will Do As A Senior Agentic Platform Engineer II</b></p><p><br />• Build out the Agentic Platform as a product for internal teams — find what teams keep rebuilding and turn it into a paved path with sane defaults.<br />• Design, build, and operate internal MCP servers, and own the standards for them: auth (OAuth 2.1), tool and schema design, versioning, and testing — plus the scaffolding, templates, and registry that make creating one a solved problem.<br />• Build the platform layer for remote agents: how an agent gets deployed, scheduled, credentialed, observed, rate-limited, and safely retired, across conversational, scheduled, and event-triggered shapes.<br />• Build the guardrails that make autonomous agents trustworthy — scoped permissions, human-in-the-loop approval gates, sandboxed execution, audit logging, spend controls, and hard blast-radius limits.<br />• Serve as technical lead for retrieval-augmented generation — shared patterns for ingestion, chunking, embedding, and retrieval; vector stores; incremental sync; and retrieval quality owned as a measured discipline rather than a guess.<br />• Own evaluation and observability for AI systems — eval harnesses, golden datasets built from the questions people actually ask and calibrated against domain experts, prompt versioning, and instrumentation through Opik, Datadog, and OpenTelemetry.<br />• Advance the agentic developer experience — the internal plugin and skills library encoding Porch conventions, our code review agents, the autonomous bug and security remediation agents, and tooling that makes fleet-wide migration across dozens of JVM repositories tractable.<br />• Extend and operate the LLM gateway (Portkey) — provider and model coverage, routing, secure access for business units outside the core Agentic Platform, and governance including access controls, PII monitoring, and cost attribution.<br />• Build reference implementations and proofs of concept that establish a pattern, then hand off cleanly to the team that will own it in production.<br />• Set standards and playbooks, mentor engineers across business units adopting AI tooling, give leadership straight answers on build versus buy, and participate in an on-call rotation for Agentic Platform services.</p><p><br /><b>What You Will Bring As A Senior Agentic Platform Engineer II</b></p><p><br />• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred)</p><p>• <b> </b>8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 2+ years building LLM-powered systems that reached production and at least 2 years in a senior or technical lead role.<br />• Languages: production-grade Python is the primary language you will write. JVM fluency required — you can read and confidently modify a large Java or Kotlin codebase and its build tooling (SBT, Maven, Gradle), since the agents you build operate on that code; Scala is a plus, not a requirement. TypeScript/Node.js strongly preferred.<br />• Hands-on MCP experience — building servers or clients, tool and schema design, auth — and agent orchestration with LangGraph or equivalent, including context and state management.<br />• RAG in production — vector stores such as PostgreSQL/pgvector, embedding models, chunking and retrieval strategies, incremental sync, and how to tell whether retrieval is actually working.<br />• Experience evaluating non-deterministic systems — eval harnesses, regression suites, quality gates, prompt versioning — and rigorous reasoning about latency and cost.<br />• A working practitioner of agentic coding tools. Real production work with Claude Code or comparable, and informed opinions about where agents fail.<br />• Security judgment for agentic systems — prompt injection defense, sandboxed execution, scoped credentials, audit logging, and containing an agent's blast radius.<br />• Kubernetes and cloud experience, ideally GCP (GKE, IAM, GCS, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, BigQuery), plus GitLab CI/CD, Terraform, Docker, and observability tooling (Datadog, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry).<br />• A platform builder's instincts and strong written communication — turning a business problem into a reusable capability, proving it with a focused proof of concept, and writing standards and clean, tested code others can build on.<br />• Comfort participating in an on-call rotation, ability to overlap 2-3 hours with Pacific Standard Time (PST) core US business hours, and a collaborative approach in a trustful and respectful environment.<br />• Proven experience working with US based business teams.<br />• Excellent written and communication skills in English language.<br /> </p><p><b>Nice to Have</b></p><p><br />• Building developer platforms or internal tooling with real adoption metrics behind it.<br />• Replacing a third-party SaaS or AI vendor with in-house capability.<br />• Scala depth, or large-scale JVM framework migrations.<br />• No-code or low-code automation platforms (e.g., n8n) and enabling non-technical users.<br />• Workflow orchestration platforms — Flyte/Union Cloud, Airflow, Temporal, or similar.<br />• Open-source contributions to AI tooling, MCP servers, or agent frameworks.<br />• AI governance in a regulated domain — insurance, financial services, or healthcare.</p><p><br /><b>What You Will Get As A Porch Group Team Member</b></p><p><br /><b>Pay Range*</b>: ₹40,50,000 – ₹56,70,000 INR annually <br />Please know your actual pay at Porch will reflect a number of factors among which are your work experience and skillsets, job-related knowledge, alignment with market and our Porch employees, as well as your geographic location.</p><p><br />• Our benefits package will provide you with comprehensive coverage for your health, life, and financial well-being.<br />• Our benefits include medical insurance, accident insurance and retiral benefits.<br />• Our wellness programs include 12 company-paid holidays, 2 flexible holidays, privilege/earned leave, casual/sick leave, paid maternity and paternity leaves, and weekly wellness events.</p><p style="text-align:inherit"></p><p style="text-align:left"><b>What’s next?</b></p><p style="text-align:inherit"></p><p style="text-align:left">Submit your application below and our Talent Acquisition team will be reviewing your application shortly!
