About the Role
SS&C Advent is building a next-generation Agentic AI Framework that integrates Model Context Protocol (MCP), Agent-to-Agent (A2A) communication, Machine Learning, and advanced orchestration on top of their enterprise big data platform. Senior AI Platform Engineers will design and implement the core AI framework, ensuring seamless integration with their big data infrastructure for scalable, intelligent, and autonomous data-driven systems.
Responsibilities
- Design and build a scalable Agentic AI framework on top of our data platform.
- Implement MCP- and A2A-based architectures for agent collaboration and orchestration.
- Integrate AI services with data pipelines (Airflow, Spark, Trino, StarRocks, DBT).
- Build APIs, SDKs, and tooling to enable other teams to use the framework.
- Work with platform and application teams to ensure secure, reliable, and multi-tenant deployment of AI agents.
- Evaluate new agentic AI, LLM, and orchestration technologies and recommend adoption.
- Mentor other engineers and contribute to AI engineering best practices.
Requirements
- Strong programming skills in Python with 5+ years of experience.
- Proven experience with data engineering or distributed systems (Spark, Hive, Trino, StarRocks, DBT, Airflow, Kubernetes).
- Deep understanding of LLM-based systems and agent frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, DSPy, OpenAI MCP, A2A).
- Hands-on experience with API design & integration (REST, GraphQL, gRPC).
- Knowledge of cloud infrastructure & container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker).
- Strong understanding of IAM, security, and multi-tenancy in enterprise systems.
- Track record of building production-grade AI/data platforms.
- Experience in Information Security.
- Experience with vector databases (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, Vespa).
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures (Kafka, Pulsar).
- Understanding of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns.
- Background in authorization/identity systems (ReBAC, RBAC, Zanzibar-style).
- Familiarity with observability (OpenTelemetry, DataHub, MLflow, Prometheus).
- Experience in enterprise AI governance (audit, lineage, compliance).
- Contributions to open-source AI frameworks (LangChain, OpenAI MCP, Hugging Face, etc.).
