(Posting Title:-  Senior GenAI Engineer )

Role Summary

Hands‑on GenAI Engineer working on canonical LLM APIs—designing OpenAI‑compatible endpoints (/generate, /search, /ingest, embeddings), operating AI Gateway Hybrid with OAuth/mTLS hardening, and evolving SDKs for LangGraph/ADK with trace/eval hooks. Owns versioning, deprecation, rate limiting, and developer onboarding.

Responsibilities

1. Design and maintain canonical LLM APIs (OpenAI‑compatible chat/generate, search, ingest, embeddings, responses, interactions) with multi‑model backends, consistent across on‑prem and cloud.
2. Operate Gateway for LLM traffic (SSE/streaming), set TPS and payload SLOs, and coordinate capacity allocations with enterprise gateway owners.
3. Implement authN/Z patterns: OAuth2 client credentials and user‑context flows; enforce mTLS and device/tls‑bound tokens to eliminate key sharing.
4. Define versioning & deprecation policy; publish change notices and maintain compatibility matrices for SDKs and proxies.
5. Build developer onboarding paths 
6. Integrate Open telemetry (tracing/evals) into gateway and APIs; propagate correlation IDs and tags for spaces/projects.
7. Evolve SDKs to standardize auth, observability, signal endpoints, and registry updates for LangGraph/ADK.
8. Implement rate limiting, quotas, and abuse protection at gateway/API levels; coordinate product creation and throttle settings.
9. Publish OpenAPI specs, SDK examples, and reference integrations; ensure parity across environments and models introduced by platform comms.
10. Run performance & soak tests (streaming, batch, embeddings); set promotion gates tied to latency/error SLOs.
11. Coordinate change windows for gateway upgrades  and author impact comms/SOPs.
12. Enforce retirement of direct model endpoints—route all model access through APIs/gateway; guide exception handling.
13. Explore AI gateway options for MCP/agent traffic (research & POC) and align with enterprise standards before adoption.
14. Provide executive updates on API adoption, reliability, and roadmap (batch APIs, async patterns) tied to enterprise goals.
