Lead Gen AI Engineer

Lead Gen AI Engineer

Charlotte, NC 3 days/week onsite role

Design and develop Agentic AI systems using Google ADK, LangChain, and LangGraph, including multi-agent orchestration, state management, and tool integration leveraging enterprise approved LLMs.

Integrate agents with enterprise Systems of Record (SoRs) by building reliable data pipelines, APIs, and connectors across structured and unstructured sources.

Integrate organization-approved foundation models (like Anthropic, Google Gemini etc.) into Agentic task-based workflows.

Partner with Process Excellence and Ops teams to ideate and implement AI copilots and AI Agents for business functions.

Develop scalable Python-based services for agent workflows, incorporating RAG, tool calling, memory, and structured outputs.

Engineer data ingestion and transformation pipelines (batch/streaming) to enable high-quality, governed data access for AI agents.

Write and optimize complex SQL queries for analytics, feature extraction, and real-time agent decisioning.

Implement observability, evaluation, and guardrails across both data and AI layers, ensuring performance, quality, compliance, and cost efficiency.

Use SQL, Python, and cloud-native tools (Google Cloud Platform, Azure, or AWS) to ensure data quality and lineage.
