Job Description

Role Summary:

Visa is building a next-generation Agentic AI Platform that brings intelligent, autonomous agents into large-scale distributed applications across our global ecosystem.

We’re seeking a Staff Software Engineer who will design and build scalable backend systems that integrate AI agents into Visa’s enterprise infrastructure. You will work with other engineers and technical leaders to define the architecture, scaling strategy, and engineering standards for Visa’s AI-driven products. This is a role for a self-driven engineer — a go-getter, builder, and problem solver with deep experience in Java microservices, GenAI integration, and distributed system design, and a true-north, entrepreneurial mindset focused on speed, quality, and innovation.

Key Responsibilities:

Architecture & Design:

  • Architect and evolve the Agentic AI Platform to support multi-agent orchestration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and integration with existing Visa microservices. Design scalable, secure backend systems using Java (Spring Boot) and Python (FastAPI/Flask). Develop RESTful and gRPC APIs that connect backend services, AI agents, and React front-end applications.

AI & GenAI Integration:

  • Integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) such as GPT, Claude, Mistral, and Gemini into backend systems. Build and optimize RAG pipelines using vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS). Develop orchestration and agentic workflows using LangChain, LangGraph, or Autogen.

Scalability & Reliability:

  • Lead the design and implementation of distributed, fault-tolerant systems that scale horizontally. Implement auto-scaling, monitoring, and observability using Kubernetes, Docker, and Prometheus/Grafana. Drive best practices for latency reduction, cost optimization, and service reliability.

Leadership & Execution:

  • Partner with other senior engineers, ML engineers, and product leads to define and deliver the platform roadmap. Mentor developers, set coding standards, and lead design reviews. Deliver results with urgency — balancing innovation with enterprise rigor.

Innovation & Strategy:

  • Explore new frameworks, architectures, and deployment models to push the boundaries of Agentic AI in production. Drive continuous improvement, automation, and open-source adoption across the engineering organization.

Visa requires at least 3 days in office, expectations of these days will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.

Qualifications

Basic Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of relevant work experience with a bachelor’s degree or at least 2 years of work experience with an Advanced degree (e.g. Masters, MBA, JD, MD) or 0 years of work experience with a PhD, OR 8+ years of relevant work experience.

  • Experience in code review and applying coding standards.
  • Experience in building or enhancing developer tools.
  • 2+ years of backend experience with Python (FastAPI, Flask, or similar frameworks).
  • Production-level experience in building and deploying AI Agentic solutions, including orchestration of LLM-based agents, integration with enterprise microservices, and troubleshooting live production environments.
  • Hands-on experience implementing LLM, GenAI, and RAG systems using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, or Autogen.
  • • Strong understanding of AI orchestration and LLM integration patterns in distributed environments.
  • Proven experience building and scaling distributed microservice architectures.
  • Proficiency in REST/gRPC API design, event-driven architectures, and message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ).
  • Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.
  • Hands-on expertise with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Familiarity with SQL and NoSQL databases (MySQL, DynamoDB, MongoDB).
  • Experience with containerization and CI/CD pipelines (Docker, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Jenkins, GitHub Actions).

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
