AI Engineer (Agentic AI Development)

Zealant Consulting Group; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 2,500,000 - 4,000,000; Full time

Job summary

Zealant Consulting Group is seeking an experienced Agentic Workflows Engineer in Bengaluru to design, build, and scale multi-agent pipelines powering our CLM intelligence platform.

You will work with Product and Applied AI to turn complex contract workflows into reliable, production‑grade systems, implementing guardrails, HITL checkpoints, and observability to ensure robust, compliant automation across enterprise ecosystems.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of software engineering experience, with 1+ year on LLM-based systems in production.
• Hands-on experience building agentic or multi-agent systems.
• Strong Python skills; comfortable with async patterns, API design, and distributed systems.
• Solid understanding of LLM behavior in production: context windows, tool calling, structured output, and prompt stability under load.
• Experience with at least one agentic framework: LangChain/LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, or similar.
• Ability to reason about failure modes and design recovery paths.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement multi-agent pipelines from design through production deployment.
• Build tool-use and function-calling architectures connecting agents to CRM, ERP, CLM, and procurement systems in real time.
• Implement HITL checkpoints, escalation logic, and guardrail layers that keep agents on-policy without breaking flow.
• Build stateful agent memory, including short-term context management, long-term retrieval, and task persistence across sessions.
• Develop observability and tracing so the team can understand when an agent made the right call (and when it didn’t).
• Create evaluation harnesses to measure agent behavior across edge cases—not just happy paths.

Job description

Job Description: Agentic Workflows Engineer Role Overview

You will design, build, and scale the agentic workflows that power client’s CLM intelligence platform. This is an engineering role for someone who thinks in systems: multi-agent orchestration, tool use, state management, guardrails, and failure recovery. You’ll work directly with Product and Applied AI to turn complex contract workflows (intake routing, clause extraction, obligation monitoring, negotiation assist) into reliable, production‑grade agentic pipelines.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement multi‑agent pipelines using frameworks like Lang Graph, Crew AI, AutoGen, or equivalent—taking systems from design through production deployment.
• Build tool‑use and function‑calling architectures that connect agents to CRM, ERP, CLM, and procurement systems in real time.
• Implement human‑in‑the‑loop (HITL) checkpoints, escalation logic, and guardrail layers that keep agents on‑policy without breaking flow.
• Build stateful agent memory, including short‑term context management, long‑term retrieval, and task persistence across sessions.
• Develop observability and tracing so the team can understand when an agent made the right call (and when it didn’t).
• Create evaluation harnesses to measure agent behavior across edge cases—not just happy paths.

Qualifications Required

• 3+ years of software engineering experience, with 1+ year working on LLM‑based systems in production.
• Hands‑on experience building agentic or multi‑agent systems (not just chatbots or RAG pipelines).
• Strong Python skills; comfortable with async patterns, API design, and distributed systems fundamentals.
• Solid understanding of LLM behavior in production: context windows, tool calling, structured output, and prompt stability under load.
• Experience with at least one agentic framework: LangChain/LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, or similar.
• Ability to reason about failure modes (e.g., agent loops, tool misuse, context drift, confident incorrect outputs) and design recovery paths.

Preferred

• Experience in document‑heavy domains.
• Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector) and hybrid retrieval approaches.
• Background with workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Temporal, Airflow, or similar).
• Experience deploying agents that operate across third‑party SaaS integrations.

Working Style

• Small team, high autonomy—you own your pipelines end to end.
• Decisions are made with working code, not slide decks.
• You’ll see your work used by procurement and legal teams at large enterprises within weeks of shipping.

Success Metrics

You’ve shipped an agentic system that delivers real value in production (beyond demos or hackathon projects). You understand where agents break down (e.g., tool misuse, context drift, hallucinated decisions) because you’ve diagnosed and fixed those issues. You care about reliability and measurable outcomes as much as capability.
