ABOUT:
Build and ship the GenAI/agentic solution end-to-end — from PoC through production go-live.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Own end-to-end build of the GenAI/agentic solution once scoped — architecture through implementation
Integrate the solution into the client's live environment — auth, data access, existing systems, legacy interfaces
Adapt the build on-site as real usage surfaces edge cases the original design didn't anticipate
Debug and resolve production issues directly within the client's infrastructure
Set up monitoring and handoff documentation for the client's own team
Serve as the primary technical point of contact for the client during delivery
Head the delivery pod for GenAI/agentic engagements when appropriate
Flex into presales support when pursuit volume outpaces Hub capacity
Feed build learnings back into the practice's estimation and pattern library
Manage client expectations under shifting scope or timeline pressure
REQUIREMENTS & SKILLS
10–15+ yrs shipping production software, with hands-on GenAI/LLM/agentic build experience
Full-stack range across the GenAI application layer — orchestration, retrieval, integration, deployment
Comfortable debugging across the stack: infra, application code, model behavior
Experience integrating with enterprise systems (SSO, legacy APIs, data governance constraints)
Working knowledge of major agentic/GenAI platforms likely in the client's environment — Microsoft Azure AI Foundry, AWS Bedrock/Strands Agents, and Google Vertex AI; comfortable with open-source alternatives (LangChain, LlamaIndex) as a good-to-have when the client has no platform preference
Comfortable being the senior technical presence in the room with a client's engineering team
Robust client-facing communication — explains technical tradeoffs under time pressure
Track record of taking ambiguous, partially specified designs to a working production system
Resilient under the pressure of on-site, client-facing delivery with visible deadlines
