Job Summary

About the Role

We are looking for a GenAI Agentic Lead to drive the design, development, delivery, and governance of production-grade Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions. The role requires hands-on technical leadership in Large Language Models, RAG, Agentic RAG, multi-agent workflows, tool-calling architectures, LLMOps, Responsible AI, cloud AI services, and enterprise system integration. The candidate should be able to lead a team, define technical standards, guide solution architecture, mentor developers, and collaborate with business and technology stakeholders to deliver scalable, secure, and reliable AI-enabled applications.

This role is suitable for candidates with a minimum of 5 years and up to 10–12 years of relevant experience in GenAI development, AI engineering, Python/backend development, ML/NLP applications, cloud AI services, enterprise automation, or technical leadership roles.

Key Responsibilities

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end design and delivery of GenAI, RAG, Agentic RAG, AI assistant, chatbot, document intelligence, and automation agent solutions.
  • Define agentic AI architecture patterns including tool calling, function calling, planning, memory, reflection, multi-agent orchestration, workflow routing, and human-in-the-loop controls.
  • Guide teams in building robust RAG pipelines covering ingestion, parsing, chunking, metadata design, embeddings, vector indexing, hybrid retrieval, reranking, query rewriting, and grounded response generation.
  • Provide hands-on technical leadership using Python, APIs, microservices, LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, CrewAI, or similar frameworks.
  • Lead integration of LLMs with enterprise applications, knowledge repositories, databases, workflow platforms, search services, and cloud-based AI services.
  • Establish standards for prompt engineering, prompt versioning, reusable prompt libraries, structured outputs, tool integration, evaluation datasets, and model configuration management.
  • Drive LLMOps and GenAIOps practices including observability, tracing, monitoring, regression testing, latency optimization, token usage tracking, cost optimization, and production support readiness.
  • Ensure Responsible AI, security, privacy, governance, access control, prompt injection mitigation, PII handling, auditability, and compliance controls are embedded in solution design.
  • Review solution designs, code, prompts, retrieval logic, evaluation results, deployment plans, and production issues to maintain engineering quality.
  • Mentor developers, conduct technical reviews, support estimation and planning, coordinate delivery, and communicate solution progress to stakeholders.
