Lead Agentic AI Engineer – Python, LangGraph & Azure
Remote Role
Role Summary
We are seeking a highly experienced, hands-on Lead Agentic AI Engineer to lead the design and development of a production-grade enterprise Agentic AI solution using Python, LangGraph, Azure OpenAI, and Azure cloud services.
The solution supports complex policy-processing workflows through specialized Producer and Receiver agents, centralized orchestration, human-in-the-loop interactions, event-driven processing, enterprise system integration, persistent workflow state, observability, and production controls.
This role is intended for a senior technical leader who combines deep hands-on engineering with solution ownership. The Lead Agentic AI Engineer will define the agent architecture, establish engineering patterns, guide the development team, review critical code, resolve complex technical issues, and help ensure the solution is production-ready, scalable, secure, observable, and maintainable.
