Role: Lead Agentic AI Engineer

Experience: 5 10 years

Employment Type: Full-time

ROLE SUMMARY

We are looking for a Lead Agentic AI Engineer who can own the end-to-end design and delivery of complex, production-grade agentic systems

You will be the go-to technical expert and the engine room of our most demanding AI initiatives turning ambiguous client challenges into scalable, functional platforms

You will drive technical solutioning for client engagements, architect multi-agent pipelines, and bridge AI engineering with business outcomes while elevating the capability of the team around you

WHAT YOULL DO

Agentic Architecture Engineering

- System Design: Architect multi-agent systems orchestrator/sub-agent patterns, state machines, tool registries using Microsoft Agent Framework, LangGraph , CrewAI , AutoGen , or Semantic Kernel

- Advanced RAG: Design and optimize retrieval pipelines: hybrid search, re-ranking, query expansion, multi-hop reasoning, and knowledge graphs

- Model Adaptation: Apply Quantization, PEFT/ LoRA fine-tuning, and prompt optimization techniques to adapt foundation models for client-specific tasks

- Guardrails Hallucination Control:



Design and enforce comprehensive guardrail frameworks output validation, factual grounding checks, prompt injection defenses, content filtering, and hallucination-mitigation strategies (chain-of-verification, retrieval grounding, self-consistency) for enterprise-grade deployments

MLOps Production Readiness

- Deployment: Productionize AI services on AWS / Azure using Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions / Azure DevOps)

- Observability: Build comprehensive monitoring for LLM systems tracking accuracy, hallucinations, latency, cost, and drift using LangSmith or Arize Phoenix

- Evaluation: Define and implement LLM evaluation suites using RAGAS, G-Eval, TruLens , or custom metrics aligned to client KPIs

- Cost Token Optimization: Drive down inference costs through token budgeting, prompt compression, KV-cache management, model routing, streaming strategies, and intelligent batching balancing performance against cost at scale

- CI/CD: Own and evolve CI/CD pipelines for ML systems, enforcing automated testing (unit, contract, and model-quality tests) as a standard across all engagements

- Performance Tuning: Optimize model serving for high-throughput production using vLLM , DeepSpeed , or Triton Inference Server

Client Solutioning Leadership

- Solutioning: Lead technical discovery and proposal for AI engagements; translate ambiguous client problems into actionable AI solutions

- Mentorship: Guide junior engineers, review architecture decisions, and build the team s internal library of reusable AI patterns, accelerators, and playbooks

- Stakeholder Communication: Present solution designs, demo prototypes,



and communicate technical trade-offs clearly to client technical and business stakeholders

MUST-HAVE QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience: 5 10 years in software engineering or data science, with at least 3 years in applied Gen AI / LLM engineering in a services or consulting context

- Agentic Frameworks: Proven experience building production agents with LangGraph , CrewAI , AutoGen , or Semantic Kernel

- RAG Retrieval: Deep expertise in RAG architectures, vector databases (Pinecone, Qdrant , Weaviate ), and embedding pipelines

- LLMs: Strong working knowledge of GPT-4o, Claude 3

x/4

x, Gemini, and open-source models (Llama 3, Mistral)

- Cloud DevOps: Hands-on with AWS / Azure AI services; Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD workflows

- Engineering: Strong Python, FastAPI , SQL; software design patterns; a software engineering first approach to ML with rigorous unit, integration, and model-quality testing

- MLOps Productionization : Proven track record taking LLM systems from prototype to production owning deployment pipelines, observability, evaluation suites, guardrails, and ongoing model health in live client environments

- Education: B TECH / B

E

/ M TECH in Computer Science or related discipline

GOOD TO HAVE

- Fine-tuning: Experience with PEFT/ LoRA fine-tuning workflows and serving optimized models

- Performance Tuning: Hands-on experience with vLLM , DeepSpeed , or Triton Inference Server for high-throughput model serving

- Knowledge Graphs: Exposure to GraphRAG or ontology-based retrieval strategies

- Multi-modal: Experience with vision-language models or multi-modal agent pipelines

- Certifications: AWS Solutions Architect, Azure AI Engineer Associate, or equivalent
