This is a remote position. Senior AI Engineer - ( MCP & LLM Integration) About the RoleWe are looking for a high-performing Senior AI Engineer (including MCP) to lead the development and delivery of enterprise Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations in Phase 1, and governed multi-model access, evaluation, and observability in Phase 2. The ideal candidate will combine strong backend software engineering in Python with direct hands-on experience implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP), LLM APIs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI), tool-calling, and evaluation frameworks, ensuring robust, production-grade agentic workflows and reliable model interfaces across the engagement. Programme Context & Phased Effort Allocation The engagement is structured as a 22-week sequential programmedivided into two delivery phases, assuming a five-day working week: Phase 1: MCP Gateway and Governance (Weeks 1–10 / 10 Weeks):Full-time allocation (1.0 FTE) developing reference MCP servers, API adapters, central registry onboarding checks, and validating Claude client tool-use workflows. Phase 2: Model Access through Microsoft Foundry (Weeks 11–22 / 12 Weeks):Full-time allocation (1.0 FTE) integrating Claude, OpenAI, and specialist models, implementing streaming token protocols, usage attribution, and model evaluation harnesses. Key Responsibilities Reference MCP Servers & Adapters:Develop reference MCP servers and API adapters, including JSON-schema tool definitions, granular permissions, input validation, and graceful error handling. Registry Integration & Onboarding:Implement MCP registry integration, automated onboarding checks, request/response logging, and telemetry ingestion. Client Tool Connectivity:Connect the selected Claude client to approved MCP tools and thoroughly validate representative agentic workflows and tool-calling execution. Multi-Model Provider Integration:Integrate Claude, OpenAI, and agreed specialist model endpoints through the approved Azure APIM gateway and Microsoft Foundry. Streaming, Attribution & Evaluation:Implement and test provider interfaces, streaming token responses, tool use, usage attribution, prompt caching, and model evaluation suites. Automated Testing & Documentation:Automate integration tests, resolve defects, and document reusable integration patterns and standard operating procedures (SOPs). Required Skills & Experience 6–10+ years of software engineering experiencewith senior proficiency in Python (FastAPI, Pydantic, asyncio) or agreed backend integration languages. Model Context Protocol (MCP) & Agentic Workflows:Hands-on experience implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) specification, JSON-RPC, tool-calling schemas, and client-server integrations. Enterprise LLM Integration:Extensive experience integrating Anthropic Claude and OpenAI APIs, handling authentication, token rate limits, prompt caching, and streaming protocols. Model Evaluation & Observability:Experience with automated model evaluation, benchmark datasets, prompt engineering, tracing (LangSmith / OpenTelemetry), and cost/usage attribution. API Design & Automated Testing:Strong background in RESTful APIs, JSON schema validation, automated testing (pytest), mock services, and CI/CD integration. Security & Data Governance:Understanding of zero-trust API security, payload sanitization, credential handling, and enterprise data privacy. Preferred Qualifications Capital Markets / Financial AI Applications:Experience deploying AI applications, document processing, or market research copilots in financial institutions. Microsoft Foundry & Azure AI:Experience with Microsoft Foundry, Azure OpenAI Service endpoints, and Azure APIM policies. Agent Frameworks:Familiarity with LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, or Semantic Kernel frameworks. Open Source Contributions:Active contributions to open-source AI tooling, MCP server repositories, or developer SDKs.
