Responsibilities

  • Architect and govern production-grade agentic systems using multi-agent orchestration, RAG, policy-based routing, memory management, and lifecycle observability.
  • Define RAG standards covering chunking, embeddings, quality benchmarks, and documented tradeoffs.
  • Establish multi-LLM integration standards, provider abstraction, fallback routing, and cost governance.
  • Own programme-level LLMOps, including evaluation strategy, prompt governance, observability, safety monitoring, and cost controls.
  • Lead client architecture sessions, proof-of-concept delivery, and alignment between technology leaders and delivery teams.
  • Create reusable engineering patterns, accelerators, and standards across client engagements.
  • Define and present accuracy, latency, safety, cost, and business-impact metrics to senior stakeholders.
  • Manage, develop, and performance-manage engineers, including development plans and career conversations.

Requirements

  • Production software engineering experience.
  • Hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in production is required.
  • Production-depth experience with LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or an equivalent agentic orchestration framework.
  • Production experience calling OpenAI, Anthropic, or Vertex AI LLM APIs, including provider abstraction, token management, and latency and cost tradeoffs.
  • Ownership of RAG pipelines involving embeddings, chunking strategies, vector databases, and context engineering.
  • LLMOps experience with evaluation harnesses, prompt versioning, and production observability.
  • Cloud-native engineering experience with Kubernetes, Docker, serverless systems, and infrastructure-as-code using Terraform or Helm.
  • Strong Python skills; Java or an equivalent backend language is acceptable.
  • Production debugging and observability experience.
  • Experience managing, developing, and performance-managing a team of engineers.
