  • 15+ years of software engineering experience, including significant experience building cloud-native infrastructure
  • 10+ years of experience leading high-performing engineering teams in global or matrixed organizations
  • Hands-on experience in building, deploying, or integrating machine learning systems at scale

  • Strong communication, problem-solving, and strategic planning skills
  • Demonstrated experience driving complex cross-functional engineering initiatives
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline
  • 10–15 years of experience building or managing AI / ML systems, with recent focus on LLM infrastructure or agent-based AI architectures
  • Proven track record in designing and operationalizing Agentic AI platforms, including dynamic memory systems, multi-agent coordination, and tool integrations
  • Experience launching new AI-driven products or services from inception to scale in enterprise environments
  • Practical familiarity with modern agent frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalents
  • Passion for solving complex technical challenges and fostering innovation in fast-moving environments
