ROLE SUMMARY
As a Lead AI Engineer, you will own the architecture and delivery of GenAI-based systems that integrate large language models (LLMs), multi-agent workflows, and embedding-powered retrieval solutions. You will guide cross-functional pods, define engineering standards, and drive innovation through scalable, production-grade intelligent applications. You will lead a team of associates both functionally and admin responsibilities.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Architect enterprise-grade GenAI systems using modular LLM APIs, agent orchestration frameworks, and embedding pipelines
Design and implement autonomous agent workflows with context management, multi-agent coordination, and task delegation
Optimize performance, latency, and accuracy through experimentation with prompt strategies, retrieval layers, and caching logic
Lead solution reviews, enforce prompt safety and governance, and ensure alignment with security protocols
Collaborate with platform, product, and engineering leads to define reusable patterns and scalable AI capabilities




Guide engineering pods on GenAI design principles, system reliability, and prompt lifecycle management
Build and maintain reusability assets — SDKs, templates, shared agent logic — to accelerate delivery velocity across teams
Stay up to date with advancements in LLM tooling, orchestration abstractions, and prompt optimization techniques
Required Qualifications
6 to 8+ years of experience in software, AI, or ML engineering roles, including significant experience designing, delivering, and operating production-grade GenAI or agentic AI applications
Proven experience leading the technical delivery of LLM-powered products or agent-based solutions, including solution design, engineering guidance, and operational readiness
Solid technical foundation in Python and modern backend engineering patterns, with practical experience building AI-enabled application services and APIs
Hands-on experience with Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Studio, Semantic
