TL;DR · Lead Principal Engineer, Enterprise Agentic AI Platform

The Lead Principal Engineer, Enterprise Agentic AI Platform joins the Enterprise AI & Automation team to develop production-grade agentic AI systems. This role requires a technical leader who writes code daily in Python and Go to build functional systems, reference implementations, and scalable platform capabilities. You will develop multi-agent orchestration patterns using LangChain and LangGraph, while managing Kubernetes deployments, GPU inference stacks, and persistent memory systems. Key responsibilities include creating data flywheels for telemetry, benchmarking, and automated evaluation, as well as embedding security guardrails and sandbox isolation into agent runtimes. You will solve the business problem of securely linking AI agents with enterprise systems to boost efficiency across departments like finance and HR, ensuring agents are intelligent, trackable, and production-ready through rigorous engineering and architectural authority.

What you'll do

  • Develop and deliver production-quality agentic AI systems from start to finish using Python and/or Go.
  • Build multi-agent orchestration patterns including planner, executor, reviewer, and tool agents using frameworks like LangChain or LangGraph.
  • Create and harden functional prototypes into reusable platform services, APIs, SDKs, and developer templates.
  • Architect and implement data flywheels for continuous agent improvement through telemetry, benchmarking, and automated evaluation.
  • Embed security guardrails, sandbox isolation, and auditability directly into agent runtimes.
  • Evaluate and integrate open-source and third-party agent platforms based on performance and scalability.
  • Optimize model inference and memory utilization for GPU-powered performance in hybrid environments.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field or equivalent experience.
  • Master’s or PhD preferred.
  • 15+ years of experience building and shipping large-scale distributed systems with significant hands-on coding in Python, Go, or similar systems languages.
  • Proven track record in constructing agentic AI systems, including RAG pipelines, long-lasting memory models, multi-agent management, and evaluation infrastructure.
  • Expert-level depth in Kubernetes, containerized workloads, networking, APIs, and secure enterprise integration patterns.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of performance tuning in hybrid environments, including GPU-based inference systems.
  • Experience crafting benchmarking, regression testing, telemetry, and observability systems to measure agent quality, latency, cost, reliability, and safety.
  • Experience delivering reusable developer-acceleration components such as SDKs, APIs, templates, and CI/CD automation (preferred).
