About the Role
We’re seeking a hands-on Engineering Manager - Agentic AI to lead and grow the team building our next-generation AI-powered business platforms. This is a high-impact role for a leader who is technically deep, driving the technical strategy for applying Large Language Models (LLMs) and Deep Learning to real-world business problems. You will lead a team of engineers in leveraging AI technologies to architect secure, production-grade solutions and ensure our underlying AI infrastructure remains scalable, robust, and cost-optimized.
Responsibilities
- Mentor and grow a cross-functional team of AI and software engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence, psychological safety, and rapid experimentation.
- Architect and build AI-native services, moving from prototype to production, including designing advanced RAG pipelines and orchestrating agents for multilingual support and product distribution.
- Establish best practices for GenAI and MLOps, including prompt management, model deployment, cost management, and responsible AI.
- Actively participate in code reviews, design docs, and architectural discussions, capable of diving into the codebase to unblock the team or fix critical issues.
- Serve as the bridge between Product and Engineering, clearly communicating the capabilities and limitations of current deep learning models and GenAI technologies.
Requirements
- 7+ years software engineering experience with Python backends, including 2+ years leading engineers as a manager that growing people while shipping.
- Experience taking LLM-powered products from prototype to production, including managing evals, guardrails, cost and latency budgets, incident response, and iterating on user feedback.
- Hands-on depth in agentic systems, tool use, multi-step orchestration, RAG, and memory.
- Experience building data and insights products: turning messy operational data into analytics, decision support, or natural-language interfaces.
- Fluency across the modern AI stack (agent frameworks, vector stores, model APIs and open-weight models, Kubernetes).
- Strong grasp of LLM fundamentals — transformers, embeddings, fine-tuning trade-offs.
- Experience managing SLAs, uptime, and incident response for critical production services.
- Ability to analyze business problems and frame it for AI, critically evaluating model outputs, questioning assumptions and identifying potential biases.
- Embodies CG values—bold experimentation, purposeful innovation and authentic collaboration across diverse, global teams.
