TL;DR · Head of Agentic Engineering

As the Global Head of Agentic Engineering, you will lead a pioneering team within S&P Dow Jones Indices Technology to develop autonomous and semi-autonomous agent systems. You will define the global framework for agentic engineering, including reference architectures, orchestration patterns, and evaluation systems while transitioning traditional software development into spec-driven processes. Your daily work involves building automated quality engineering capabilities, establishing governance for agentic systems in regulated environments, and leading a high-performing team of engineers. The role requires deep expertise in LLM-based agents, LangChain, AutoGen, retrieval systems, and CI/CD pipelines like Jenkins or GitLab CI. You will solve complex problems regarding the integration of AI agents into the software development lifecycle to ensure reliability and traceability within the highly regulated domain of global benchmark administration and financial market data.

What you'll do

  • Define and deliver the global agentic engineering framework including reference architecture, orchestration patterns, and evaluation systems.
  • Lead the transition from traditional software development to spec-driven, agent-driven processes with full traceability.
  • Build and implement automated quality engineering capabilities for code assessment and self-maintaining test suites.
  • Establish governance frameworks for agentic systems in coordination with Risk, Compliance, and Information Security teams.
  • Translate complex technical capabilities into business value for executive leadership and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Manage a high-performing team of engineers while increasing organizational fluency in agentic technologies.

What we're looking for

  • Expertise in agentic technologies including LLM-based agents, orchestration frameworks like LangChain or AutoGen, and retrieval systems.
  • Experience applying AI agents to software development lifecycle processes such as code generation, review, and automated testing.
  • Strong foundations in software and quality engineering, including CI/CD pipelines, test architecture, and performance engineering.
  • Proven track record of building and leading engineering teams and driving organizational transformation.
  • Executive-level communication skills to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders like CTOs and risk committees.
  • Ability to assess risks and implement mitigation strategies for autonomous systems in regulated environments.
  • Experience in financial services, market data, or other highly regulated domains (preferred).
  • Familiarity with enterprise-scale data quality frameworks and AI risk management governance (preferred).
