  • Architect and build agentic AI systems that leverage LLMs for reasoning, planning, and tool orchestration across enterprise workflows. Design and implement multi-agent frameworks enabling coordination, delegation, and dynamic task execution

  • Develop scalable platforms for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), long-term memory, and contextual reasoning. Build reusable infrastructure for agent orchestration, tool integration, evaluation, and observability

  • Establish best practices for agent evaluation, guardrails, and human-in-the-loop workflows

  • Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership in designing complex distributed AI systems

  • Stay at the forefront of advancements in LLMs, agent frameworks, tool use, reasoning architectures, and open-source ecosystems

What We Need to See:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience). 12+ years of experience building large-scale distributed systems and cloud-native applications (Python preferred).

  • Strong programming skills across multiple languages and modern software stacks

  • Solid understanding of Linux, embedded systems, firmware, and hardware/software integration

  • Deep knowledge of IT Service Management (ITSM) and ServiceNow (HR, Security, Finance modules preferred)

  • Strong experience designing and deploying LLM-powered systems, including RAG, tool use, and agent-based architectures

  • Deep understanding of agentic AI paradigms (planning, memory, tool invocation, multi-step reasoning). Experience with agent frameworks and orchestration tools (e.g., LangChain or similar)

  • Proven ability to design systems with high reliability, scalability, and performance

  • Hands-on experience deploying applications in Kubernetes environments. Experience building systems in cloud and hybrid environments

  • Proven track record leading complex technical initiatives and mentoring high-performing teams. Excellent problem-solving, communication, and system design skills
