TL;DR · AI Engineer - Lead Software Engineer

As an AI Engineer - Lead Software Engineer within Enterprise Technology, you will lead the architecture and hands-on implementation of scalable large language model systems and agentic AI platforms. You will build production-grade AI systems featuring agents, skills, memory patterns, guardrails, and tool-use orchestration while designing cloud-native services on AWS using containers, serverless patterns, and distributed data stores. Your daily work involves architecting retrieval-augmented generation solutions including embeddings, semantic search, and grounding, while establishing evaluation, observability, and regression testing frameworks. You will optimize platform performance for latency, throughput, and cost controls while mentoring senior engineers. The role focuses on turning large language model capabilities into reliable, secure, and measurable business outcomes by building well-governed APIs and integrations that connect AI capabilities to enterprise platforms and business processes.

What you'll do

  • Lead the architecture and hands-on delivery of scalable, reliable agentic AI platforms for enterprise workflows.
  • Design and build production-grade AI systems including agents, skills, memory patterns, guardrails, and tool-use orchestration.
  • Architect retrieval and context-engineering approaches including embeddings, semantic search, grounding, and prompt management.
  • Engineer cloud-native AI services on AWS using containers, serverless patterns, and distributed data stores.
  • Optimize platform performance across latency, throughput, scalability, caching, and cost controls.
  • Build well-governed APIs that connect AI capabilities to enterprise platforms and business processes.
  • Establish evaluation, experimentation, regression testing, and observability frameworks to improve agent behavior.
  • Define engineering standards for reliability, security, and safe AI operation across the platform lifecycle.

What we're looking for

  • Formal training or certification on software engineering concepts and 5+ years of applied experience.
  • Experience architecting and shipping production large language model applications, including agentic workflows and tool integration patterns.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals to deliver cloud-native services using containers and serverless designs on AWS.
  • Proficiency designing distributed systems with asynchronous workflows, durable messaging, and scalable data access patterns.
  • Experience building retrieval-augmented generation solutions and managing prompt lifecycle/versioning.
  • Demonstrated ability to implement evaluation and monitoring approaches for model quality, reliability, and safe behavior.
  • Strong API design skills, including secure integration patterns and reusable platform capability development.
  • Proven technical leadership skills, including mentoring, driving architecture decisions, and influencing cross-functional stakeholders.
