Responsibilities include leading architecture for multi-agent systems, LLM orchestration, AI automation workflows; maintaining engineering stack (frameworks, CI/CD, testing, monitoring, deployment); designing AI orchestration use cases; building reusable agent components and prompt templates; leading Genie space setup; mentoring 3 Senior Agentic Engineers; evaluating LLM providers; bridging Data Science models and agentic deployment; collaborating on architecture decisions; contributing to documentation and operational playbooks. Requirements: 12-15 years software engineering with 4+ years AI/ML; expertise in Python and software architecture; experience with LLM applications at scale; knowledge of agent orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen); cloud infrastructure experience (Azure preferred); mentoring experience; MLOps skills; strong system design; excellent communication. Preferred: experience with Databricks, Unity Catalog, Genie; background in media/adtech/marketing analytics; experience with RAG, vector DBs, semantic search; open-source contributions; leading offshore teams.

What you'll do

  • Lead technical architecture for multi-agent systems, LLM orchestration, and AI automation workflows
  • Set up and maintain the agentic engineering stack: frameworks, CI/CD, testing, monitoring, and deployment patterns
  • Own the technical design for AI orchestration use cases across client implementations
  • Build and maintain reusable agent components, tool-use libraries, and prompt templates
  • Lead Genie space setup and configuration for client data exploration
  • Mentor and technically lead 3 Senior Agentic Engineers, conducting code reviews and architecture discussions
  • Evaluate LLM providers (model selection, cost optimization, latency tradeoffs) and recommend choices
  • Bridge the gap between Data Science model outputs and agentic deployment, ensuring models are served efficiently
  • Collaborate with the onshore Senior AI Engineer on shared architecture decisions and technical standards
  • Contribute to technical documentation, runbooks, and operational playbooks for the agentic platform

  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (Azure preferred) including container orchestration and serverless patterns
  • Track record of mentoring engineers and raising team engineering standards
  • Experience with MLOps: model serving, monitoring, versioning, and cost management
  • Strong system design skills with experience in distributed systems and API architecture
  • Excellent written communication for technical documentation and cross-timezone collaboration
  • Preferred: Experience with Databricks, Unity Catalog, and/or Genie
  • Preferred: Background in media technology, adtech, or marketing analytics platforms
  • Preferred: Experience with RAG architectures, vector databases, and semantic search at scale
