AI Native SW Engineer - Manager
On-siteDublin, Leinster, Ireland
Job Summary
Architect and govern production-grade agentic systems at enterprise scale, including multi-agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, and policy-based routing. Define RAG pipeline standards and multi-LLM integration standards across vendors like OpenAI and Anthropic, while owning LLMOps for eval strategies, prompt governance, and observability. Lead client engineering engagements to facilitate architecture design sessions and drive alignment between client leadership and delivery teams. Shape reusable patterns and accelerators that scale across the practice, and own the measurement framework for agentic system quality, presenting business impact to senior stakeholders. Requires minimum one year of hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in production, with demonstrated expertise in LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen.
Required Qualifications
- Extensive experience in software engineering in production environments
- Minimum 1 year of hands-on experience designing and deploying agentic AI solutions in a production environment — non-negotiable
- Demonstrated experience with agentic orchestration frameworks: LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalent — at production depth, not tutorial level
- Direct experience calling LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex AI) in production code: provider abstraction, token management, latency and cost tradeoffs
- RAG pipeline ownership: embeddings, chunking strategy, vector databases, and context engineering
- LLMOps fundamentals: eval harness design, prompt versioning, and production observability
- Cloud-native engineering maturity: Kubernetes, Docker, microservices, serverless, CI/CD, and IaC (Terraform or Helm)
- Strong Python; Java or equivalent backend language acceptable; production debugging and observability experience
- People lead responsibilities: experience managing, developing, and performance-managing a team of engineers; setting individual development plans and conducting career conversations
Desired Qualifications
- Quality of experience is weighted over years, a candidate who has shipped three production agentic systems in four years is preferred over a generalist with passive AI exposure
