Ai Native Solutions Lead (Agentic / Applied)

Role DescriptionYou 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
Basic QualificationsRequired 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 orequivalent 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)
