Role Overview
We are seeking an exceptional, highly hands-on VP – Lead Semantic & AI Agent Engineer to join our technology team in Pune. In this critical technical-lead role, you will serve as the Platform Tech Lead for our newly established, dedicated Semantic Layer Squad.
This is a hands-on, code-first engineering role. It is not a program management or PMO role. You will be responsible for leading the technical execution, architectural alignment, and delivery of our Semantic Agent Layer—the intelligent cognitive middleware that bridges our virtualized data products with our downstream AI Consumer and Reporting ecosystems.
You will lead an agile engineering pod, run daily sprints, and collaborate closely with our core Data Services teams—specifically partnering with our Distribution Squad (who manages the underlying data virtualization, raw API exposure, and foundational MCP infrastructure) and aligning with the overall SVP Data Service Lead based in Pune. Your mission is to design, develop, and deploy autonomous Data Agents that encapsulate domain-specific business logic, rules,



and governance, exposing these agents' cognitive capabilities as high-level tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable secure, performant, and compliant Agent-to-Agent communication across our global enterprise network.
A core expectation of this role is an AI-First Thinking Mindset. You will actively adopt and champion the use of generative AI tools (such as GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, and other developer productivity assistants) to significantly accelerate software delivery, automate testing, and improve code quality within your squad, adapting seamlessly to the enterprise-approved tools available within our network.
