AI Engineering Lead Analyst

AI overview

Lead the design and deployment of advanced AI systems, mentoring engineers while collaborating across teams to transform prototypes into scalable solutions.

 We’re seeking a Lead AI Engineer with deep expertise in applied machine learning, LLMs, and agentic system design. You will be responsible for architecting and deploying production-grade AI systems — from Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines to multi-step autonomous agents — while mentoring team members and driving engineering excellence.  

You’ll collaborate across Data Science, Product, and Engineering to bring ideas from prototype to scalable, cloud-native solutions. 

 

Key Responsibilities & Skills 

AI & Software Engineering 

  • Architect, build, and deploy end-to-end and scalable ML/AI systems including GenAI, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows. 

  • Design and iterate on prompts, reasoning workflows, and tool integrations for LLM-powered automation. 

  • Integrate frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, or LangGraph to enable advanced multi-agent orchestration. 

  • Build evaluation frameworks to monitor performance, grounding, factuality, cost, and latency. 

  • Implement safety and governance: guardrails, output validation, and agent control mechanisms (e.g. tool call limits, loop prevention). 

  • Ensure alignment with traditional ML/AI methodologies while innovating with modern paradigms. 

MLOps & Software Engineering 

  • Apply MLOps best practices across experimentation, CI/CD, observability, and cloud deployment (AWS, Azure, GCP). 

  • Write clean, modular, production-grade code primarily in Python, and manage containerized deployments via Docker, GitHub Actions, etc. 

  • Develop scalable, reliable APIs and pipelines for batch and real-time inference. 

 Leadership & Collaboration 

  • Act as a technical lead and project manager, ensuring timely and high-quality delivery. 

  • Mentor junior engineers and data scientists to grow technical capability across the team. 

  • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to translate complex technical solutions into business value. 

 Communication Skills 

  • Translate technical outcomes into clear business impact for both internal and external stakeholders. 

  • Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal) are essential for working with global teams and clients. 

Must-Have 

  • 5+ years in AI/ML engineering, with hands-on experience in NLP, transformers, or LLMs. 

  • Proven experience building RAG systems, agentic applications, or GenAI-powered tools. 

  • Strong Python skills and familiarity with AI orchestration libraries (e.g., LangChain, CrewAI, LangGraph). 

  • Experience deploying ML/LLM models to production (API, batch, streaming), with monitoring and testing frameworks in place. 

  • Working knowledge of cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP) and CI/CD best practices. 

Nice-to-Have 

  • Experience building RAG systems and agentic applications. 

  • Knowledge of or experience with Snowflake and Snowpark. 

  • Background in LLM evaluation and prompt engineering.
