Role Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled Lead AI Engineer to build and deploy Agentic AI solutions that fundamentally accelerate our Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC). Partnering directly with the Engineering Process Improvement Lead, your objective is to translate identified operational bottlenecks into production-ready AI automations. You will be hands-on, writing code and architecting multi-agent systems that autonomously handle everything from Jira story generation to backend code scaffolding, PR reviews, and pre-production deployments. You will ensure these AI-driven workflows scale seamlessly across our distributed engineering teams in the US, India, and other global regions, while strictly adhering to enterprise compliance and capitalization standards. The role spans not only AI-assisted software implementation, but also the use of agentic systems to support production investigation, operational response, engineering analysis, and other high-leverage engineering workflows across the software development and delivery lifecycle. A key part of the role is designing effective human-in-the-loop systems that allows engineers to supervise, guide and approve the work of multiple AI agents operating together to execute an orchestrated business workflow.
