TL;DR · AI Engineer VP

The AI Engineer - VP is a Lead Software Engineering position within the Technology division, specifically partnering with the Advanced Analytics, Machine learning and Gen AI Platform teams. This role involves building autonomous systems capable of reasoning and completing multi-step tasks using LLMs and reasoning models. Key responsibilities include developing calibration scoring, guardrails for agent accuracy, and designing scalable data flows for batch and real-time processing. The candidate must utilize Python, FastAPI, Node.js, or Go, alongside frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, and AutoGen. Technical requirements include expertise in OpenAI, Anthropic, and AWS Bedrock APIs, vector databases like Pinecone and Weaviate, and RAG pipelines. The role focuses on operationalizing agent orchestrations and prototyping state-of-the-art generative AI technologies to improve platform architecture.

What you'll do

  • Build autonomous systems that reason, use tools, and complete multi-step tasks using LLMs and reasoning models.
  • Develop calibration scoring and guardrails to ensure the accuracy of AI agents.
  • Design, implement, and operationalize distributed, scalable data flows for batch and real-time data processing.
  • Build and deploy AI agents at scale to accelerate technology and business roadmaps.
  • Evaluate state-of-the-art Gen AI technologies and prototype solutions to improve architecture and platforms.
  • Demonstrate the "Art of the possible" through Proof of Concepts (POCs) to accelerate AI adoption.
  • Manage the cloud adoption and engineering roadmap to ensure scalable and robust architecture.
  • Integrate external APIs as agent tools, including function calling and error handling for model outputs.

What we're looking for

  • 6+ years of experience building GenAI solutions and supporting components design, architecture, development, and operationalization of agent orchestrations at scale.
  • Mastery of agent orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, and Microsoft's AutoGen.
  • Deep expertise in LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock), prompt engineering, and fine-tuning for agentic behaviors.
  • Ability to implement complex memory systems, including vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines.
  • Proficiency in integrating external APIs as agent tools, including function calling and error handling for malformed model outputs.
  • Expert-level Python (mandatory) and familiarity with FastAPI, Node.js, or Go.
  • Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes for containerized deployment.
  • Good written and verbal communication skills.
