• Design scalable workflow engines and "human-in-the-loop" systems.
• Create the integration layer between modern Python-based AI frameworks and Tenable’s robust JVM-based microservices architecture.
• Implement verification layers, citations, and security guardrails to ensure agents operate deterministically and safely.
• Build advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and "Tool Use" capabilities.
• Collaborate with researchers and product leads to define the roadmap for AI orchestration.

- Hands-on experience building AI agents and autonomous workflows using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or Pydantic AI.
- Strong programming skills in Python (essential for AI/ML ecosystems) with experience in, or a willingness to work with, JVM-based languages (Java, Kotlin, or Scala) for high-scale platform components.
- Experience designing event-driven architectures, managing concurrency, and building fault-tolerant services (e.g., using Kafka, gRPC, REST).
- Proficiency with Relational Databases (PostgreSQL) and experience with Vector Databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus) or search engines (Elasticsearch).
