Full job description

Lead architecture decisions for multi-agent systems, LLM orchestration, and AI automation workflows. Maintain engineering stack including frameworks, CI/CD, testing, monitoring, and deployment. Design AI orchestration use cases for 4+ clients. Build reusable agent components, tool-use libraries, and prompt templates. Lead Genie space setup for client data exploration. Mentor and lead 3 Senior Agentic Engineers with code reviews and architecture discussions. Evaluate and recommend LLM providers based on model selection, cost, and latency. Bridge Data Science model outputs and agentic deployment for efficient serving. Collaborate with Senior AI Engineer on architecture and standards. Contribute to technical documentation and operational playbooks. Requires 7+ years software engineering with 2+ years in AI/ML, expertise in Python, experience deploying LLM applications, knowledge of agent orchestration patterns, Azure cloud infrastructure, MLOps, system design, and strong communication skills.

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 4+ 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

Requirements

  • 7+ years of software engineering experience with at least 2 years in AI/ML engineering
  • Deep expertise in Python and production-grade software architecture
  • Hands-on experience building and deploying LLM-powered applications at scale
  • Strong knowledge of agent orchestration patterns (LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, or custom frameworks)
  • 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
