AI Engineer (Applied/Software), AI Reliability/ Performance Engineer, DevOps
Lead Agentic AI Engineer
We are seeking a Lead Agentic AI Engineer with a strong software engineering foundation to design, build, and scale autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems. This role goes beyond prompt engineering or isolated models—you will architect multi-agent systems that plan, reason, call tools, interact with enterprise systems, and operate safely at scale.
You will work on agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, tool-calling, memory, observability, and Agent Ops, while ensuring production readiness, compliance, and reliability.
ResponsibilitiesAgentic AI System Design
- Design and implement multi-agent architectures including:
- Orchestrator / supervisor agents
- Task-specialized agents (research, extraction, validation, decisioning)
- Reflection, critique, and self-correction loops
- Build goal-driven agent workflows with constrained autonomy and human-in-the-loop patterns.
- Define agent boundaries, decision policies, and escalation logic.
LLM, RAG & Tooling
- Build enterprise-grade RAG systems:
- Ingestion, chunking, metadata enrichment
- Vector indexing and retrieval strategies
- Grounded generation and citation control
- Implement tool-calling agents that interact with:
- APIs, databases, search systems
- Internal platforms and workflows
- Optimize latency, cost, and accuracy across LLM interactions.
Production Engineering & Agent Ops
- Build agentic systems as scalable backend services (FastAPI / REST / async services).
- Apply strong software engineering discipline:
- Modular code, clean abstractions, testability
- CI/CD, versioning of prompts, tools, and agents
- Implement Agent Ops / LLMOps, including:
- Evaluation harnesses (prompt, retrieval, agent behavior)
- Observability (traces, metrics, decision paths)
- Rollback and controlled rollout strategies
- Ensure robustness against hallucinations, loops, tool failures, and unsafe actions.
Governance, Safety & Reliability
- Implement guardrails, policies, and monitoring for agent behavior.
- Design systems with traceability, auditability, and explainability.
- Ensure secure handling of sensitive data (PII/PHI where applicable).
- Enforce responsible-AI principles in autonomous systems.
Technical Leadership
- Lead design reviews and mentor junior engineers.
- Influence platform standards for agentic AI across teams.
- Partner with product managers, architects, and domain SMEs to translate workflows into agent behavior.
Strong Software Engineering Background (Must Have)
- 8–10 years of experience with backend/software engineering
- Expert in Python (primary) and API-based services
- Experience with distributed systems, microservices, async processing
- Strong understanding of system design, scalability, and performance
Agentic AI & GenAI Expertise
- Proven experience building agentic AI systems (not just chatbots)
- Hands-on with agent frameworks (e.g., Lang Chain / Lang Graph / equivalent)
- Strong understanding of:
- Tool-calling, planning, reflection
- Memory, state, and long-running agents
- Experience working with LLMs (cloud and/or open-source)
RAG & Data Engineering
- Production experience with vector databases
- Knowledge of embeddings, retrieval strategies, reranking
- Comfortable with structured + unstructured enterprise data
Platform & Ops
- Docker, CI/CD, cloud deployments (AWS / Azure / GCP)
- Experience with monitoring, logging, and production debugging
- Familiarity with MLflow or similar experiment tracking tools
Nice to Have
- Experience in healthcare, insurance, or regulated domains
- Exposure to AI governance, compliance, or risk frameworks
- Built internal AI platforms or reusable accelerators
- Prior experience tech-leading enterprise AI initiatives
- Cloud Data Warehousing
- Conflict Management
- Displaying Visionary Thinking
- Emotional Intelligence Training
- Enterprise Data Standards
- Governance Tools
- Leadership Capabilities
- SQL Analysis
- Strategic Growth
- Strategic Planning
