About the Role:
Grade Level (for internal use):
11 Lead AI Engineer (Agentic Systems)
Role Summary
As the Lead AI Engineer (Agentic Systems), you will help architect and build the organization's next generation of autonomous AI workflows. This is a multidisciplinary technical role operating at the intersection of Software Engineering, Data Engineering, and Machine Learning Engineering . You will move beyond simple "chatbots" to design production-grade Agentic Systems: intelligent applications capable of reasoning, planning, and executing complex tasks autonomously.
Responsibilities
Agentic Systems Architecture & Core Engineering
Architect & Build Multi-Agent Workflows:
Lead the hands-on design and coding of stateful, production-grade agentic systems using Python and orchestration frameworks like Lang Graph , CrewAI , or Auto Gen .
Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Communication:
Design and implement robust A2A protocols enabling autonomous agents to collaborate, hand off sub-tasks, and negotiate execution paths dynamically within multi-agent environments.
State Management & Orchestration:
Engineer robust control flows for non-deterministic agents; implement complex message passing, memory persistence, and interruptible state handling to support long-running autonomous tasks.
Tool Interface Design (MCP):
Implement and standardize the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to create universal interfaces between agents, data sources, and operational tools, ensuring modularity and scalability.
Model Integration & Optimization:
Utilize proxy services ( i.e.
LiteLLM ) to manage model routing and fallback strategies;
optimize context windows and inference costs across proprietary and open-source models.
Production Deployment:
Containerize agentic workloads using Docker and orchestrate deployments on Kubernetes; leverage AWS Agent Core or similar cloud-native services for scalable infrastructure.
Data Engineering & Operational Real-Time Integration
Build Agent Data Pipelines:
Write and maintain high-throughput ingestion pipelines (using Databricks or Python-based ETL) that transform raw operational signals into structured context for agents.
Real-Time Context Injection:
Ensure agents have access to "operational real-time" data (seconds/minutes latency) by optimizing retrieval architectures and vector store performance.
Cross-Functional Engineering:
Act as the technical bridge between Data Engineering and AI teams; translate complex agent requirements into concrete data schemas and pipeline specifications, while stepping in to resolve hands-on bottlenecks in data availability.
Observability, Governance & Human-in-the-Loop
LLMOps & Tracing:
Implement comprehensive observability using tools like Langfuse to trace agent reasoning steps, monitor token usage, and debug latency issues in production.
Safety & Control Frameworks:
Design hybrid execution modes ranging from Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) for sensitive operations to fully autonomous execution; build "break-glass" mechanisms and guardrails for automated decision-making.
Evaluation & Reliability:
Establish technical standards for testing non-deterministic outputs; automate evaluation pipelines to measure agent accuracy, hallucination rates, and drift before deployment.
Technical Leadership & Strategy
Technical Roadmap Definition:
Partner with Product and Engineering leadership to scope feasibility for autonomous projects; define the "Agentic Architecture" roadmap.
Mentorship & Standards:
Define code quality standards, architectural patterns, and PR review processes for the AI engineering team; upskill team members on the latest agentic frameworks and methodologies.
Innovation: Proactively prototype with emerging tools (e.g., new reasoning models, graph-based RAG) to solve high-value business problems, moving successful experiments into the production roadmap.
