About this role
About the Role The Senior MLOps Engineer (IC3) will join Paramount's Platform Engineering pod to build the Agentic Systems Platform—the runtime for autonomous agents. You will lead the MCP (Model Context Protocol) Gateway and orchestration capabilities for multi-agent personalization, bridging traditional ML serving with autonomous agency. You will design agent runtimes using GKE and Apigee, applying the ADK (Agent Development Kit) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocols to enable complex workflows, while managing thinking time and cognitive overhead to keep production latency in check. What You'll Do
- Lead Platform Design: Architect the production runtime for agentic systems, focusing on low-latency tool-use and state management.
- Own the MCP Gateway: Design and implement the routing and security layer for agentic tool-use via Apigee.
- Standardize Agentic Workflows: Develop orchestration patterns using ADK and A2A that are adopted by pods across the AMLG.
- Performance Management: Monitor and optimize agentic "thinking" cycles to balance reasoning depth with production latency constraints.
- Mitigate System Risks: Proactively identify and fix failure modes unique to agentic systems (e.g., tool-use loops or context window overflows). What We're Looking For
- 4–8+ years in MLOps or Platform Engineering
- Experience with API Gateways (Apigee) and Kubernetes (GKE)
- Background in Agentic Orchestration Nice to Have
- Familiarity with A2A protocols
- Experience managing long-running stateful workflows Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: $139,200 - $208,800 USD per year
- Benefits include medical, dental, vision, 401(k), life insurance, disability benefits, tuition assistance, and PTO
