TL;DR · Lead Agentic AI Engineer

As a Lead Agentic AI Engineer, you will join the team to drive the design, development, and integration of state-of-the-art generative and agentic AI solutions across the enterprise Controls Technology platform. You will architect robust applications on top of pre-trained foundation models, focusing on context engineering, retrieval systems, knowledge graphs, and multi-agent orchestration to improve automation and operational efficiency. Your daily work involves building RAG systems with hybrid search, implementing Graph RAG for multi-hop reasoning, and developing agentic workflows using tools like Google ADK, LangGraph, CrewAI, and the Model Context Protocol. You will utilize Python, vector databases, and frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex to build production-ready systems. The role requires expertise in prompt engineering, containerization via Docker and Kubernetes, and ensuring safety through guardrails and agent isolation within high-value business domains.

What you'll do

  • Architect advanced context engineering strategies including layering, chaining, and memory management to optimize token efficiency.
  • Design and implement sophisticated prompt engineering and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems with hybrid search and re-ranking.
  • Build knowledge graphs and Graph RAG architectures to enable multi-hop reasoning and traceable responses.
  • Develop agentic workflows and multi-agent systems using frameworks like LangGraph, CrewAI, or Google ADK.
  • Create robust agent harnesses including governance, feedback loops, state management, and execution controls.
  • Integrate agents with tools and data using Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent2Agent (A2A) protocols.
  • Deploy scalable, observable, and maintainable generative AI applications into production environments.
  • Ensure all AI solutions adhere to ethical guidelines, safety guardrails, and data privacy standards.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, AI, or a related field.
  • 5–7 years of experience in AI/software development, including significant experience in Generative AI and agentic AI.
  • Expertise in prompt engineering, context engineering, and building RAG systems with hybrid search and multi-vector retrieval.
  • Experience designing knowledge graphs and Graph RAG pipelines using databases like Neo4j or ArangoDB.
  • Proven experience building agentic AI systems using Google ADK, LangGraph, Microsoft Agent Framework, CrewAI, or OpenAI Agents SDK.
  • Proficiency in Python, NLP techniques, vector databases, and containerization tools like Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with major GenAI APIs (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude) and orchestration frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex.
  • Demonstrated experience with AWS cloud infrastructure for AI/GenAI applications.
