TL;DR · Applied AI ML Director, AI Agents and Agentic Systems

As an Applied AI ML Director - AI Agents and Agentic Systems, you will join the Agent Builder Platform team to shape how agentic systems are built, evaluated, and deployed at scale. You will design core platform capabilities, write production-quality code, and develop an Agent software development kit (SDK) with specialized components for enterprise use. Your daily work involves translating generative AI techniques into reusable building blocks, optimizing model-serving and workflow patterns like orchestration and tool use, and designing evaluation approaches for behavior, robustness, and latency. You will utilize PyTorch, TensorFlow, and the Kubernetes ecosystem to build high-performance systems involving GPU optimization. The role focuses on solving technical challenges in agentic system reliability and observability while establishing engineering standards for production-grade AI workloads within a complex corporate sector environment.

What you'll do

  • Architect and implement core Agent SDK capabilities and reference implementations using production-ready code.
  • Build specialized agents and reusable components to improve reliability, observability, and evaluation quality.
  • Translate emerging generative AI techniques into scalable platform features for broad enterprise adoption.
  • Design and implement evaluation frameworks for agent behavior, including quality, robustness, latency, and cost.
  • Develop and optimize model-serving and workflow patterns such as orchestration, tool use, and planning.
  • Drive technical decisions by identifying trade-offs and producing clear recommendations to resolve ambiguity.
  • Improve platform performance and efficiency through profiling, bottleneck analysis, and system-level optimization.

What we're looking for

  • Formal training or certification in applied artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts.
  • 10+ years of experience in applied artificial intelligence and machine learning.
  • 10+ years of hands-on experience building large-scale machine learning systems and platform services used by multiple teams.
  • Strong software engineering skills for end-to-end delivery from design through implementation, testing, and operation.
  • Extensive experience with machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
  • Hands-on experience with agentic and generative AI system design, including tool use, planning patterns, RAG, and evaluation methods.
  • Strong experience with cloud and Kubernetes ecosystems for building and operating production workloads.
  • Background in high-performance machine learning systems, including hardware acceleration considerations like GPU optimization.
  • Experience contributing to or optimizing open-source machine learning frameworks or platform tooling (preferred).
  • Experience building ML systems for production-grade AI workloads, including GenAI and agentic solutions (preferred).
  • Experience with various open source ML/AI and agentic frameworks, LLM training frameworks, or other ecosystem tools (preferred).
  • Advanced degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field (preferred).
  • Experience establishing applied science and engineering standards for responsible and reliable AI systems (preferred).
