Qualifications

• MSc/PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, or related field.
• Significant proven experience building and deploying AI applications in large scale production environments.
• Experience managing data science teams and coaching team members.

Responsibilities

• Architect, develop, and productionize autonomous and assistive AI agents to streamline and enhance operations.
• Design multi-agent systems, including role definition, tool integration, planning, memory, and workflow orchestration using LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, ADK and LangGraph.
• Implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and semantic search using vector databases such as Pinecone and Chroma, including indexing, retrieval policies, and evaluation.
• Build and integrate agent tools (MCP) and APIs to connect agents with external services, databases, and internal systems, ensuring robust output parsing, error handling, and retries.
• Design and implement robust evaluation frameworks to systematically assess and measure the performance of AI agents across key operational metrics.
• Practice advanced prompt and context engineering (e.g., Chain-of-Thought, ReAct, function calling/tool-use prompts), implement output validation and guardrails to reduce hallucinations.
• Deploy scalable AI services to cloud infrastructure, ensuring monitoring, and observability for agent performance.
• Design microservices-based architectures and orchestrate multi-step workflows; instrument agents for tracing, metrics, and feedback loops to continuously improve reliability and utility.
• Partner with stakeholders to define requirements, design intuitive human-AI interfaces (voice, chat), and deliver measurable business impact.
• Analyze data to inform agent capabilities, optimize retrieval, and drive data-driven decision-making; and performance evaluations.
• Mentor and guide team members on agent frameworks, LLM usage, safety, and best practices.
