Agentic AI Engineering - Lead Programmer Analyst

Agentic AI Engineering - Lead Programmer Analyst (Exp: 5 Yrs to 7 Yrs)

Design and deliver LLM applications and agents that retrieve enterprise knowledge, use tools and complete business workflows reliably. Remain hands-on in architecture, implementation and debugging while guiding junior engineers. The role focuses on applications built with existing models; traditional predictive-model training is not a core requirement.

Required experience and technical skills:

• 5+ years of professional software or data engineering experience, including hands-on delivery of LLM applications and agentic AI workflows.
• Strong Python and SQL; API development with FastAPI or Flask, validation with Pydantic, and asynchronous service integration.
• Practical experience with LLM APIs, streaming, token limits, prompt design, schema validation and model selection.
• Hands-on LangChain experience or equivalent frameworks; ability to choose between fixed workflows and agent decisions.
• RAG development using LangChain or LlamaIndex and vector stores such as pgvector or Qdrant, with filters and retrieval evaluation.
• Ability to implement tool calling, persistent state, context and memory management, approval flows and reliable error handling.
• Experience with AI evaluation, observability, access controls and secure tool execution, plus Git, testing, containers and cloud deployment.

Key responsibilities:

• Translate business workflows into clear agent responsibilities, tool interfaces, success criteria and approval boundaries.
• Build LLM applications using effective prompts, structured outputs and context management; choose models based on quality, latency and cost.
• Develop RAG pipelines covering document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, reranking and source-grounded answers.
• Implement tool-using workflows with state, memory, checkpoints, human approvals, retries and safeguards against repeated actions or endless loops.
• Integrate business APIs and data sources; enforce permissions and protect against prompt injection and sensitive-data exposure.
• Build evaluation datasets, regression checks and traces; debug failures and improve task completion, response time and operating cost.
• Own implementation quality and delivery while coaching juniors through design, coding, testing and production troubleshooting.

Mentoring and technical ownership:

• Demonstrated ability to groom and guide junior engineers through pairing, design discussions, code reviews and constructive feedback.
• Define tasks and acceptance criteria, remove technical blockers and review individual progress toward independent delivery.
• Build reusable agent components and practical documentation; explain design choices and delivery risks to stakeholders.

Preferred skills:

• Exposure to CrewAI / LangGraph for agent orchestration and multi-agent workflows; MCP integration and multimodal applications.
• Exposure to Langfuse, LangSmith or equivalent tracing and evaluation tools; prompt/version management and evaluation gates.
• Hugging Face Transformers for open-model integration; caching and model routing. Frameworks listed are alternatives; mastery of every tool is not required.
