Job Responsibilities

• Design and implement agentic AI reference architectures, including orchestration, retrieval, memory, guardrails, and evaluation harnesses.
• Write production-quality Python code (Py Torch or Tensor Flow as needed) and review critical-path code
• Create reusable components for prompt management, evaluators, safety filters, connectors, embeddings pipelines, and memory stores
• Build and operate LLM-powered APIs and microservices integrated into advisor, client, and internal workflows
• Own the end-to-end ML lifecycle: experimentation, CI/CD, automated testing, monitoring, drift detection, versioning, and rollback
• Optimize inference for latency, throughput, caching, batching, model selection, and cost per inference
• Partner with data teams on structured and unstructured data pipelines, document ingestion, metadata, and access controls
• Embed responsible AI practices: safety, policy enforcement, audit logging, explainability, and monitoring
• Set engineering standards for agentic AI systems and lead design reviews
• Mentor senior engineers through code reviews and architecture discussions
• Influence roadmap and priorities through technical insight and delivery

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:

• 10 years of experience building applied machine learning systems, with recent hands-on work in LLMs or agentic AI
• Strong Python engineering skills; experience with Py Torch or Tensor Flow
• Expertise working with Vector storage systems and designing memory for Agents
• Expertise developing long running agents that run autonomously using tools, skills and human in the loop
• Proven experience deploying LLM-backed services to production (APIs, microservices)
• Deep MLOps experience, including CI/CD, monitoring, incident response, and model governance
• Cloud-native AI deployment experience (AWS or Azure), with cost and performance optimization
• Ability to lead technically and influence outcomes without formal authority
• Experience creating reusable platforms and patterns that accelerate delivery
• Demonstrated commitment to responsible AI practices and operational excellence
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, working across product, risk, legal, and compliance teams
• Experience optimizing inference and ML system performance

Preferred Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills:

• Experience with fine-tuning, adapters, or custom evaluation frameworks
• Background operating AI systems in regulated environments (finance, healthcare, etc.)
• Experience with prompt engineering and LLM orchestration
• Knowledge of safety filters, audit logging, and explainability in production systems
• Experience mentoring senior engineers and leading architecture discussions
• Demonstrated ability to influence technical roadmaps and priorities
