It publishes scholarly journals and APA Style resources, maintains extensive research databases, offers continuing education and accreditation, provides member services and networking, and advocates for psychology-informed policy and practice. APA also hosts conferences, issues standards and guidelines, and produces public-facing content on mental health, research, and professional development.

📋 Description

• Design and build agentic AI workflows that can plan and execute complex, multi-step tasks using approved agent frameworks; ensure predictable behavior through explicit tool boundaries, permissions, and safety controls • Build and maintain RAG solutions end-to-end, including ingestion pipelines, chunking/embedding approaches, retrieval strategies, and generation prompts—optimized for relevance, latency, and reliability • Implement retrieval evaluation and continuous improvement loops by defining measurable quality signals (e.g., retrieval relevance/coverage) and iterating based on observed results and regressions • Integrate tools and data sources using MCP (Model Context Protocol) or equivalent standard interfaces to provide consistent, secure tool access and reduce one-off integrations • Deploy and operate AI services on AWS (e.g., Lambda, SageMaker, ECS/EKS) with strong operational practices: logging, monitoring, alerting, and well-understood failure modes • Engineer robust runtime behavior including error handling, retries, fallbacks, circuit breakers, and guardrails to maintain safe, reliable workflows • Enable workflow automation and integration by identifying high-value repetitive processes and delivering AI-driven automation layers that integrate into enterprise systems and platforms • Create and maintain technical documentation for architectures, interfaces, evaluation approaches, and operational runbooks to support maintainability and auditability • Collaborate cross-functionally with product/business stakeholders to translate workflows into well-scoped deliverables and to validate outcomes against measurable success criteria • Other duties as assigned

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field; equivalent practical experience considered • 5+ years of core software engineering excellence in Python and cloud environments, including at least 1–2 years of specialized, hands-on delivery of production-grade Generative AI and agentic solutions • Demonstrated experience designing or implementing agentic or tool-orchestrated AI workflows (multi-step execution, tool calling/function calling, reliability patterns) • Practical experience building RAG systems end-to-end (ingestion → chunking → embeddings → retrieval → generation), including vector search/semantic retrieval concepts and tuning for relevance/latency • Strong hands-on delivery experience building and operating production Python services (APIs, testing, packaging, performance, reliability) • Experience deploying and operating services on AWS, making sound choices for availability, latency, and cost • Experience with CI/CD and operational best practices for service delivery (build/release automation, environments, monitoring/alerting)

🏖️ Benefits

• Remote Work/Flexible Scheduling • 401(k) option with employer match of up to 4% • Medical, dental, and vision insurance options and an outpatient mental health benefit • Paid personal/vacation time plus 12 paid holidays • Family/Medical Leave • Tuition assistance • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) • Short- and long-term disability insurance • Generous employee benefits program
