EPAM builds AI-native solutions for our clients — products where LLM and its harness are the core of the value. This is a builder's role: you and your team are responsible for building agentic systems, writing the production code, and standing up the evals and observability.

Responsibilities

Design, build, and ship AI-native systems E2E — agents, workflows, RAG, and the harness: custom tool calling, sandboxing, context engineering and sub-agents, caching, compaction
Build the evaluation pipelines and use them to prove the system is genuinely useful
Design for failure in the agent loop: retries, model fallbacks, cost limits, and human-in-the-loop on consequential actions
Capture domain expertise and repeatable workflows — so what works on one engagement carries to the next
Engage early, to help shape the use case and check technical feasibility
Write production-grade Python: integrations, APIs, data access, deployment
Work directly with SMEs and end-users — interviews, UAT, observing the real workflow — and validate that the system fits how people actually work
