Lead AI Engineer - Agent Framework & Agentic Applications

Build Ionixx's standardized agent framework - and the agents that run on it.

Role : Lead AI Engineer - Agent Framework & Agentic Applications

Location : Chennai - Work from Office

Type : Full-time

Level : Lead Engineer

Total Experience : 8 - 12 years

About The Role

Build the Agent Framework :

Architect and build the framework - the orchestration engine, a model-agnostic multi-LLM layer with routing and fallback, memory and state management, and a standard tool/integration layer (including MCP).
Bake in the standard capabilities - guardrails and security, observability and evaluation, human-in-the-loop approvals, cost governance, and lifecycle/versioning - so every agent inherits them by default.
Create reusable building blocks - templates, SDKs, and a clean developer experience so current agents are a thin layer of business logic, not a bespoke rebuild.
Set the standards - patterns, guardrail policies, evaluation practices, and documentation that internal and client teams follow.

Develop Agents

Design, build,



and ship production agents on the framework for real business use cases.
Ground agents in knowledge (RAG) - retrieval over vector stores, context and prompt engineering, and integration with real systems (e.g., source control, ticketing, internal apps).
Evaluate and continuously improve - build eval datasets, automated scoring (including LLM-as-judge), and regression testing; use production traces to drive quality up.
Ship safely - versioning, staged/canary rollout, and rollback, with agents observable and cost-controlled in production.

Lead & Collaborate

Provide technical leadership - mentor engineers, review designs and code, and grow agent-development capability across the team.

What We're Looking For

Experience : 8 - 12 years in software engineering, with recent hands-on experience building and shipping LLM / agent applications to production.
Machine learning : a solid grounding in ML fund
