Role Description You build the systems that actually make AI work in enterprise environments, not demos, not prototypes that stall after a pilot, but production agentic architectures running inside real client organizations. The difference between an AI Solutions Lead and what we are looking for is straightforward: you have shipped a multi-agent system in production, you have owned the eval harness, and you know what happens when your agent fails at 2am because you have lived it.
As an AI Solutions Lead (Agentic/Applied), you will design, build, and deploy production-grade agentic AI systems across the full enterprise technology stack. You will work directly with client development teams, lead technical design sessions, and build reusable patterns and accelerators that scale beyond individual engagements.
This role sits at the heart of the AI development talent market — demand is growing faster than supply and will continue to do so. We offer what no single product company can: breadth across every industry, every enterprise technology stack, and every level of organizational complexity, combined with vendor fellowship access inside Anthropic, OpenAI, Microsoft, and Google technical teams and a direct pathway to the Forward Deployed Solutions Lead program.
Key Responsibilities Architect and govern production-grade agentic systems at enterprise scale: multi-agent orchestration across complex environments, RAG pipelines, policy-based routing, memory management, and program-level lifecycle observability

Define RAG pipeline standards across engagements: establish chunking and embedding strategies, set quality benchmarks, and ensure metric-backed tradeoff decisions are documented and transferable

Set multi-LLM integration standards: vendor-agnostic architecture by default, fallback routing and cost governance as standard design practice across providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI, and open-source models

Own LLM Ops at program scale: eval strategy, prompt governance,



observability tooling standards, safety monitoring and cost controls across multiple concurrent systems

Lead client development engagements at senior level — facilitate architecture design sessions, lead proof-of-concept delivery, and drive alignment between client technology leadership and delivery teams

Shape and publish reusable patterns, accelerators, and development standards that scale across the practice and reduce ramp-up time on new client engagements

Own the measurement framework for agentic system quality: define accuracy, latency, safety, and cost metrics; present program-level AI impact in business terms to senior client stakeholders

Required qualifications Bachelor’s degree or college diploma in a related field.

10+ years of software development experience in production environments

Minimum of 1 year of experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in production environments

Experience with agentic orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalent

Experience integrating and calling LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI) in production systems, including provider abstraction, token management, and cost/latency considerations

Experience building and operating RAG pipelines, including embeddings, chunking strategies, vector databases, and context design

Experience with LLM Ops practices, including eval harness design, prompt versioning, and production observability

Experience with cloud-native development, including Kubernetes, Docker, microservices, serverless, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code (Terraform or Helm)





Proficiency in Python; experience with Java or equivalent backend language acceptable

Experience debugging and monitoring production systems

10 years of experience leading software development teams, including delivery oversight, workstream allocation, and development of team members

Experience defining and governing enterprise-scale agentic architectures across multiple systems

Experience setting standards for RAG pipelines, LLM integration, or LLM Ops practices across multiple deployments

Experience leading client-facing technical engagements, including architecture sessions or proof-of-concept delivery

Experience defining and measuring AI system performance metrics (accuracy, latency, safety, cost)

English is required for this position as this role will be aligned to multi-national teams where English is the common language across our North America Market. Due to the significant high volume of interactions with these English-speaking multi-national teams, which is inherent to this position, it is not possible to reorganize the company's activities to avoid this requirement.
