Leidos is seeking an experienced Senior AWS Generative AI Solution Engineer to design and implement the reasoning layer for a GenAI-enabled HUD FHA Resource Center. The selected candidate will lead development of a multi-agent solution using Amazon Bedrock, AgentCore Runtime, Knowledge Bases, Guardrails, OpenSearch Serverless, AWS Lambda, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation to support grounded voice and chat interactions.
Core Responsibilities:
• Design and implement Amazon Bedrock Agents, including a Supervisor Agent and domain-specific Sub-Agents.
• Develop Retrieval-Augmented Generation workflows using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases and OpenSearch Serverless.
• Implement prompt engineering, agent routing, confidence logic, and low-confidence fallback behavior.
• Configure Bedrock Guardrails for PII redaction, prompt-injection detection, denied topics, content safety, and grounding evaluation.
• Build Lambda orchestration to connect Lex V2, Bedrock AgentCore, response generation, and human transfer decisions.
• Support session management, conversation context persistence, and cross-channel consistency for voice and chat.
• Integrate the GenAI stack with Amazon Connect, Salesforce, CloudWatch, DynamoDB, S3, SNS, IAM, and KMS.
• Lead AI testing, response quality tuning, grounding validation, and latency optimization across production-like scenarios.
Please Note: This is 100% telework/remote opportunity. However, candidate must be/reside in the Gaithersburg, MD/Washington, DC metro area.
