AI Workflow Engineer
Ultimate Knowledge InstituteEducation, Development and Red Hat Consulting Since 1999
• Build our agentic SDLC pipeline. Design, implement, and operate agentic workflows across the development lifecycle - planning, code generation, review, testing, documentation, and release that is all integrated with our GitOps and CI/CD infrastructure. • Level up developer experience. Bring modern AI integrations into the daily workflow of our engineering team: coding agents, automated review, intelligent test generation, and self-service tooling that removes friction and multiplies output. • Engineer grounded, trustworthy systems. Build retrieval-grounded and context-aware AI systems that produce reliable, verifiable results and design the evaluation harnesses that prove it. • Establish governance and guardrails. Define and implement the policies, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, audit trails, and security controls that let us adopt agentic AI responsibly in environments where trust is non-negotiable. • Formalize and scale. Turn what works into repeatable frameworks, playbooks, and internal platforms that extend agentic acceleration beyond engineering to the whole organization. • Champion the practice. Evangelize, teach, and support AI adoption across the team; you'll be a force multiplier, not a silo.
