Job Summary

Role purpose: Lead a compact Agentic AI SWAT team that evaluates business processes, selects the correct agentic or non-agentic solution pattern, and delivers production-grade implementations within an established enterprise AI ecosystem. This is a hands-on technical leadership role: the individual is expected to design, code, review, troubleshoot, and deploy alongside the engineering team rather than operate only as an architect or advisor.





Client and delivery context

The client already has enterprise AI infrastructure, production MCP capabilities, security and governance controls, and delivery pipelines. The lead must plug into those capabilities and accelerate execution.

The pod may work across multiple business domains rather than one fixed function. The lead must rapidly understand recent processes and guide two or more delivery tracks when needed.

The role must balance rapid implementation with reusable engineering patterns, operational reliability, enterprise controls, and knowledge transfer to internal teams.

The lead should be language-, cloud-, model-, and framework-agnostic and able to work with the client's existing technology choices.

Primary ownership

Process-to-solution assessment, including whether a requirement calls for an agent, deterministic workflow, retrieval, conventional application logic, or a hybrid patter
