You will be a key member of the Turing Intelligence delivery organization and part of  a GenAI project. You will be required to lead a team of other Turing engineers across different skill sets. In the past, the Turing GenAI delivery organization has implemented industry leading multi-agent LLM systems and LLM deployments for major enterprises.  Required skills: 12+ years of professional experience in software engineers and building applications/systems 2+ years of hands-on experience in how LLMs work & Generative AI (LLM) techniques particularly multi-agent systems.  Expert proficiency in programming skills in Python, Langgraph and SQL is a must. Expert in architecting GenAI applications/systems using various frameworks & cloud services Expert proficiency in using AI tools like claude code, codex, cursor, windsurf and the likes.  Expert proficiency in AI observability & evaluation tools like Langsmith, Langfuse or similar Good proficiency in using various cloud services from Azure, GCP, or AWS for building the GenAI applications Experience in driving the engineering team toward a technical roadmap. Excellent communication skills to effectively collaborate with business SMEs Roles & Responsibilities: Solutioning & Lead Build the technical roadmap given a business requirement and own the delivery of the same. Lead the engineering team toward a technical roadmap and ensure timely execution of the roadmap to achieve customer satisfaction.  Design robust multi-agent architectures including supervisor-router patterns with dynamic sub-agent routing and stopping conditions Mentoring and guidance: Provide technical leadership and knowledge-sharing to the engineering team, fostering best practices in machine learning and large language model development. Hands-on skills Develop LLM-based solutions: Lead the design, training, fine-tuning, and deployment of large language models, leveraging techniques like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and multi-agent based architectures. Build and maintain agent evaluation pipelines, including offline eval datasets, LLM-as-judge, and CI-integrated eval runs Codebase ownership: Build & maintain high-quality, efficient code in Python (using frameworks like LangChain/LangGraph) and SQL, focusing on reusable components, scalability, and performance best practices. Cloud integration: Deployment of GenAI applications on cloud platforms (Azure, GCP, or AWS), optimizing resource usage and ensuring robust CI/CD processes. Communication Actively follows the frontier and has differentiated, up-to-date views on model releases, agentic architectures, evaluation methods, tool-use and computer-use patterns, multimodal capability, reasoning/test-time compute trends, and the serious open questions in the field. Produce a structured, high-signal answer to an open-ended technical or strategic question — while modulating depth for a non-engineering executive audience. Cross-functional collaboration: Work closely with product owners, data scientists, and business SMEs to define project requirements, translate technical details, and deliver impactful AI products.
