• Hands-on People Manager: Working hands-on on GenAI and agentic AI (LLM agents, tools, MCP, RAG, evaluation frameworks), ML/Deep Learning along with managing and mentoring the team.
• Architect AI solutions: Design AI applications, agentic systems, and software platforms that transform business processes across Enterprise Applications (Marketing, Sales, Finance and HR)
• Build and deploy agentic systems in production: Design, code, and ship multi-agent workflows, RAG pipelines, tool calling, and AI-powered automation using modern GenAI frameworks, working with frontier models (GPT, Claude, Gemini).
• Integrate AI into enterprise systems: Connect AI solutions to external systems using REST APIs, MCP (Model Context Protocol), and tools.
• Set quality and safety standards: Build LLM evaluation frameworks, observability, and guardrails, and apply responsible AI and security practices.
• Turn messy data into AI-ready data: Work with large-scale, unstructured, and messy data (documents, PDFs, emails, tickets, spreadsheets, logs), including data cleaning, parsing, chunking, and building reliable data pipelines to feed GenAI and RAG systems.
• Deliver business impact: Partner with business leaders to identify high-value AI use cases, make build-vs-buy decisions, measure ROI, and present proposals and results to executives.
• Lead AI research and initiatives: Proactively research AI/ML advancements and industry trends, and lead AI/ML and data initiatives to identify business opportunities and critical use cases, delivering end-to-end AI solutions for enterprise applications.
• Educate and enable: Able to educate engineers and business stakeholders on GenAI concepts, capabilities, and limitations, through technical sessions, documentation, and hands-on enablement.
• Mentor engineers: Coach junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, design reviews, and pairing, supporting their career growth and ownership of projects end to end.

What You Bring:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or an equivalent quantitative field (or equivalent experience).
• Strong engineering fundamentals with hands-on depth in at least one backend language (Python, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, or C++), and 10+ years of software engineering experience.
• People Management and Mentorship with technical hands-on experience (GenAI and agentic AI).
• Production GenAI experience: built and deployed agentic systems and GenAI applications in production, including multi-agent workflows, RAG pipelines, tool calling, and automation, using any GenAI Framework.
• Strong expertise in LLMs, Transformers, and modern GenAI, including fine-tuning, structured outputs, multi-agent orchestration, and model selection across frontier models (GPT, Claude, Gemini), balancing quality, latency, and cost.
• Solid foundation in machine learning and deep learning, including neural network fundamentals, NLP, and core ML concepts.
• Proven technical leadership and mentorship: led or technically guided engineers, coached juniors, and delivered through others.
• Strong SDLC understanding: design, coding standards, testing, CI/CD, and deployment.
• Excellent communication: able to explain technical concepts to executives and present proposals clearly.
