## Description

We are seeking a Data Scientist – Agentic AI to build and operationalize core agentic workflows that power Marvis, Juniper's next-generation AI assistant for network operations.

The ideal candidate combines deep hands-on experience with LLM-based agentic frameworks (LangGraph preferred) with the software engineering rigor needed to ship reliable, observable AI systems in a cloud-native environment.

**Responsibilities:**

- Design, implement, and iterate on agentic workflows using LangGraph, including ReACT orchestration loops, dynamic tool selection and binding, multi-step reasoning, and self-correction patterns.

- Develop and maintain MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and skills , defining tool schemas, implementing domain-specific tools, writing skill playbooks (SKILL.md), and managing server lifecycle (versioning, deployment, monitoring).

- Integrate and optimize LLM capabilities at production scale, including structured outputs, streaming, function/tool calling, prompt engineering, and robust error handling across agent execution paths.

- Build and refine retrieval and memory services for agentic systems, including RAG pipelines, vector-store-backed semantic search, hybrid retrieval, long-term agent memory (semantic, episodic, procedural), and relevance tuning.

- Design and execute evaluation frameworks for non-deterministic agentic systems , defining metrics, building test harnesses, running A/B tests on skills and tool configurations, and driving continuous quality improvement.

- Collaborate with domain experts (network engineers, product managers) to formalize networking problems as agentic workflows, translating troubleshooting playbooks into skills, tools, and data pipelines.

- Develop data analysis and transformation logic that runs in sandboxed execution environments (Code Mode), including multi-tool orchestration scripts, data aggregation, and visualization.

- Deploy and operate containerized services in Kubernetes, contributing to CI/CD pipelines, container image management, health probes, and resource optimization.

- Own observability for agentic workflows , implementing tracing, logging, cost tracking, and performance monitoring to ensure reliability of non-deterministic systems in production.

**Education and Experience Required:**

- Master's or PhD degree in computer science, data science, mathematics, statistics, or a closely related quantitative discipline.

- Typically, 4–6 years of experience building production ML/AI systems, with at least 1–2 years of hands-on work with generative AI and LLM-based applications.

**Knowledge and Skills:**

- Production experience with agentic orchestration frameworks: LangGraph (strongly preferred), LangChain, Claude Agent SDK, or equivalent , beyond prototypes.

- Solid understanding of agentic design patterns: ReACT loops, tool/function calling, dynamic tool binding, skill-based execution, multi-step planning, and self-correction.

- Hands-on experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or equivalent tool-serving protocols: tool schema design, server implementation, registry management.

- LLM API integration at scale: prompt engineering, structured outputs, streaming, error handling, and cost optimization.

- RAG pipeline design: chunking strategies, re-ranking, hybrid search, vector stores (OpenSearch or equivalent), and relevance optimization.

- Experience building evaluation and testing frameworks for non-deterministic AI systems (offline evals, A/B testing, LLM-as-judge).

- Strong foundation in statistical and machine learning techniques , anomaly detection, time-series analysis, clustering, causal inference, or related methods.

- Applied ML intuition: knowing when to use retrieval vs. fine-tuning, prompt engineering vs. structured generation, and how to debug model behavior in production.

- Proficient Python developer with experience in production codebases (not just notebooks).

- Kubernetes: deploying, scaling, and managing workloads (Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, health probes).

- CI/CD pipelines for automated build, test, and deploy (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, or similar).

- Container image management: building, tagging, versioning via Docker; familiarity with a container registry (ECR, GCR).

- Backend service development: FastAPI or equivalent; REST/GraphQL API design.

- Observability for AI systems: experience with tracing, monitoring, and logging tools (LangFuse, Prometheus, or equivalent).
