Job Description & How to Apply Below

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.

Responsibilities

Agentic 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.
Qualifications

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
Required Skills
  • Cloud Data Warehousing
  • Conflict Management
  • Displaying Visionary Thinking
  • Emotional Intelligence Training
  • Enterprise Data Standards
  • Governance Tools
  • Leadership Capabilities
  • SQL Analysis
  • Strategic Growth
  • Strategic Planning
