Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field; Master’s degree preferred
- 10+ years' experience in software engineering with around 5+ years commercial experience in cloud distributed systems and high scale designs with Golang and async Python,
- Hands-on experience with AWS AgentCore ( or similar Agentic AI platforms), Agent SDK (Strand, OpenAI, LangChain), protocols (MCP, A2A),
- Agentic Expertise: Proven ability to move agents beyond "chat" into autonomous "action" loops (MCP, A2A, RAG, KnowledgeBase)
- Must have 2+ years hands-on proficiency in Kubernetes, kubernetes operators and containers
- Experience with Helm charts, API gateways, ingress/egress gateways
- You are passionate about building great REST APIs (and helping others do the same)
- Passion for engineering rigor and operational excellence (design principles and patterns, unit testing, best practices for security and privacy, CI/CD etc)
- Experience with CI/CD tools (GitLab) & automation
- Strong experience with code tools like Terraform
- Excellent written and verbal/presentation communication skills
- Ability to work well with a distributed team
What the job involves
- The AI Infrastructure Engineer role is a high-impact, implementation-focused position centered on building a production-grade agentic platform for Horizon
- You will be lead coder for our autonomous agent runtime, leveraging Amazon Bedrock AgentCore as the core framework and Kubernetes (EKS) as the orchestration engine
- You will bridge the gap between "experimental agents" and "production systems." Your mission is to build the secure, scalable, and stateful infrastructure that allows agents to reason, access enterprise tools, and persist memory. You will spend the majority of your time writing Go for systems-level Kubernetes extensions and Python for the agentic framework logic
- You will be working closely with the Architecture Team, driving architectural decisions to implementation and operation, interact with the product management team to understand the use-cases, requirements and develop and present technical solutions
- Your work will directly impact the scalability, performance, and reliability of the BlueCat Horizon Platform, ensuring that it meets the demanding needs of the versatile AI Agentic Workloads
- Runtime Implementation: Deploy and optimize the AgentCore Runtime on Amazon EKS, ensuring agents have a secure, high-performance environment for long-running tasks
- Secure Gateway Logic: Build the AgentCore Gateway using Go to mediate between autonomous agents and internal microservices, enforcing zero-trust security
- State & Memory Management: Architect persistent state layers, ensuring agents maintain context across sessions or specialized vector stores
- Platform Integration: Engineer the "connective tissue" between AgentCore and the Horizon Kubernetes platform, ensuring agents have native access to cluster resources and internal services
- Standardized Tooling: Leverage the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to integrate diverse data sources and internal tools into the agent ecosystem
- Secure Gateways: Build the "connective tissue" in Go or Python that allows agents to securely interact with enterprise APIs via the AgentCore Gateway
- Evaluation: Design and implement automated evaluation frameworks to verify that Horizon agents are performing tasks accurately, safely, and within BlueCat's operational guardrails
- Observability: Build the infrastructure to capture agent execution traces and user feedback, feeding it back into the evaluation pipeline to continuously improve agent reliability
- Horizon-Specific Tooling: Build secure, high-performance interfaces in Go and Python that allow agents to interact with Horizon APIs, telemetry data, and configuration engines
- IaC Mastery: Lead the implementation of Terraform or AWS CDK modules to deploy the full AgentCore stack (Identity, Memory, and Gateway) in a repeatable, multi-account fashion
- Provide the infrastructure support for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, ensuring low-latency access to vector databases
- Knowledge Graph Support: Support the integration of Knowledge Graphs into the agent reasoning loop to provide structured enterprise context
Our take
DNS (Domain Name System) is the backbone of internet navigation, translating domain names into IP addresses to connect users with websites. However, many enterprises still rely on outdated DNS systems, which can severely hinder IT operations. BlueCat addresses these issues by providing advanced DDI (DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management) solutions, offering businesses a faster, more efficient way to manage their network infrastructure.
BlueCat's solutions accelerate the adoption of cloud computing and automation, making it highly attractive to large-scale enterprises looking to streamline IT operations and reduce costs. By simplifying complex network management, BlueCat helps companies enhance efficiency and adapt to modern technological needs.
The company is making significant strides, with the recent announcement of new capabilities to help organizations modernize their network infrastructure. Alongside this, it also appointed a new Chief Product and Chief Technology Officer and partnered with Grupo Dice to transform DDI management across Mexico and Latin America These exciting developments signal a bright future for BlueCat as it continues to lead the way in network modernization.
