About the Role
Join IAG’s AI and Engineering Expert Unit to orchestrate the next generation of ethical agentic decision systems. As a key member of our cross-functional squads, you will bridge the gap between visionary design and production-grade reality, collaborating with Product Owners to deliver advanced ML and Generative AI solutions across the enterprise. You won't just write code; you will act as a supervisor and orchestrator of coding agents, leveraging RAG, fine-tuned LLMs/SLMs, and specialized memory systems to achieve massive software outcomes. We are looking for a pioneer who thrives on continuous learning and is ready to push the boundaries of agentic development in a high-impact, ethical framework.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and delivery of complex agentic systems, including multi‑agent or orchestrated architectures.
- Own agentic solutions end‑to‑end, from system design through production operation and optimisation.
- Define and implement agent architecture patterns, including planning, memory, tool orchestration and control flows.
- Set technical direction and standards for agentic systems within delivery teams.
- Establish evaluation and monitoring approaches for reliability, safety, latency, cost and business impact.
- Supervise and orchestrate coding agents and AI‑assisted workflows to deliver reliable software outcomes.
- Mentor junior engineers and uplift team capability in agentic engineering practices.
- Partner with Product, Architecture and Risk to ensure solutions align with IAG strategy and guardrails.
- Contribute to the evolution of IAG’s agentic engineering standards and roadmap.
Requirements
- Strong experience designing and building agentic systems using LLMs, including planning, tool use, memory and orchestration.
- Hands‑on experience with agent frameworks and patterns (e.g. single‑agent, multi‑agent, supervisor/worker, tool‑calling, reflection and self‑critique).
- Deep understanding of prompt engineering, context engineering and retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) for agentic use cases.
- Experience evaluating and operating LLM‑powered systems in production, including reliability, safety, cost and performance trade‑offs.
- Experience working with commercial LLM platforms (e.g. Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and managing model selection and versioning.
- Experience designing and operating vector databases, knowledge stores and memory systems for agentic applications.
- Strong understanding of data quality, provenance and lifecycle considerations when data is used as agent context or memory.
- Experience implementing observability for agent behaviour, including tracing, logging and outcome analysis.
