We’re hiring a deeply technical, hands-on Director of Agentic AI to lead the design, development, and deployment of advanced multi-agent systems that go far beyond prototypes and into robust, real-world production for large-scale enterprise and government.
This role requires an extremely high-performing, ambitious individual, comfortable with high levels of ambiguity, a ferocious pace and rising client demand for Agentic AI solutions.
This individual will shape technical direction, define engineering standards, and remain actively involved in building next-generation AI systems.
You’ll work with world-class technical AI engineering teams to deliver solutions that drive meaningful impact across complex organisations and industries.
What You’ll Lead & Deliver
* Architect end-to-end multi-agent systems from scratch using frameworks such as ReAct, CoT loops, LangGraph, and MCP.
* Build and productionise agentic AI solutions with strong evaluation, observability, and orchestration.
* Scale deployments across diverse environments (SQL-based workflows, pandas, RAG pipelines, distributed compute).
* Define evaluation standards : Pass@N, multi-run testing, retriever benchmarking, component diagnostics, and quality gates.
* Lead client-facing engagements, delivering workshops, assessments, and adoption roadmaps.
* Provide technical leadership to engineering teams, ensuring delivery quality and driving adoption of new methods and tooling.
* Stay ahead of frontier innovation, experimenting with the latest LLM, orchestration, and agent-design research.
What You Bring
Required
* Advanced degree in AI, Computer Science, or similar (MSc/PhD).
* Several years of experience delivering agentic AI, ML, or AI engineering systems in production.
* Strong track record of leading complex technical delivery while remaining hands-on.
* Solid software engineering foundations : deployment, observability, monitoring, memory orchestration, optimisation.
* Familiarity with agentic architectures (ReAct, CoT loops, LangGraph, tool orchestration).
* Excellent communication skills with the ability to run workshops and shape technical direction.
Preferred
* Experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, vector DBs, RAG, and distributed inference.
* Background in dynamic, high-performance environments (start-ups or technical consultancies).
* Exposure to regulated industries or complex stakeholder landscapes.
* Proactive mindset, comfortable driving work independently.
This is a rare opportunity to steer and shape a cutting-edge Agentic AI capability—designing and deploying systems that influence large-scale, real-world operations across multiple sectors.
You’ll join an ambitious, research-informed environment that encourages experimentation, technical excellence, and forward-thinking problem-solving.
