Key Responsibilities - Support the Engineering Manager (EM) in day-to-day responsibilities. - Drive day-to-day delivery execution (planning, dependencies, unblocking, risk management) and ensure commitments are met. - Ensure engineering standards are applied (definition of done, testing strategy, code quality, documentation, operational readiness). - Provide clear engineering updates to stakeholders and escalate promptly when needed. - Enable team execution without direct line management: support onboarding and ways of working, mentor/coach engineers and tech leads, share best practices. - Ensure knowledge transfer and handover: document decisions, runbooks, and key architectural choices; facilitate smooth transition at the end of engagement. - Partner with Product/Business to identify where agentic AI provides clear value (workflow automation, assisted decision-making, content acceleration). - Translate needs into technical objectives (latency, cost, quality, robustness, compliance) and success criteria (KPIs, A/B testing, guardrails). - Design agentic architectures: tool orchestration, planning, memory management, context management, retrieval (RAG), routing, multi-agent patterns, human-in-the-loop. - Implement production patterns: prompt/versioning, evaluation harnesses, regression tests, feature flags, canary releases, and monitoring for quality/cost/latency. - Engineer for resilience: fallbacks, timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, safe tool execution, sandboxing, secrets management. - Implement guardrails: tool policies, content filtering, PII redaction, policy-as-code, access controls, auditability, and traceability (traces, conversations, decisions). - Partner with IT/Security/Cloud teams to ensure privacy, security, and risk compliance at scale. - Define and enforce quality gates before production (red-teaming, adversarial testing, bias, hallucination risk management). - Build and operate the ML value chain: data contracts, data quality, lineage, drift monitoring, dataset management, training/inference pipelines. - Own production operations for models and agentic services: deployment, scaling, observability, incident response, SLOs, post-mortems. - Industrialize continuous evaluation: offline evaluations, golden sets, human feedback loops, scorecards. - Coach tech leads and engineers on delivery habits, quality, and operational excellence (without direct people management). - Strengthen ways of working: documentation, testing, product ownership (“you build it, you run it”), and incident readiness. - Facilitate collaboration across software engineers, data engineers, data scientists, ML engineers, SRE, product, and security. Qualifications - Proven engineering leadership delivering data/ML products in production (scalability, reliability, security). - Strong grasp of modern LLM/agentic patterns: RAG, embeddings, tool-calling/function execution, memory, evaluation, tracing. - Excellent software engineering foundations (architecture, microservices, API design, testing, CI/CD) and cloud (ideally Azure). - Hands-on experience with MLOps/LLMOps: monitoring, deployment, governance, cost/latency optimization, observability (metrics/logs/traces). - Solid data engineering knowledge (pipelines, orchestration, quality) and SRE practices (SLOs, incidents, runbooks). - Servant leadership with high standards and strong stakeholder alignment skills. - Product mindset and impact orientation (measurement, iteration, prioritization). - Ability to communicate complex topics clearly (risks, trade-offs, technical roadmap). - Comfort operating in ambiguity and turning emerging tech (agentic/LLM) into actionable plans and standards. Requirements - Strong experience across software/data/ML, including significant technical leadership (people management experience is a plus but not required). - Demonstrated experience shipping ML/LLM solutions under real constraints (security, cost, performance, operations). Benefits - Health and dental insurance - Meal and food allowance - Childcare assistance - Extended paternity leave - Partnership with gyms and health and wellness professionals via Wellhub (Gympass) TotalPass - Profit Sharing and Results Participation (PLR) - Life insurance - Continuous learning platform (CI&T University) - Discount club - Free online platform dedicated to physical, mental, and overall well-being - Pregnancy and responsible parenting course - Partnerships with online learning platforms - Language learning platform - And many more!
