Potentially making them more efficient, implementing them, analyzing them and assisting with metrics and future plans with a focus on agentic AI (workflows). Responsibilities: * Lead the design and development of an Agentic AI platform; Deep expertise in machine learning, system architecture, and AI agent frameworks to build scalable, autonomous systems * Architect and implement core systems for agent-based AI workflows * Design and deploy LLM-based pipelines, agent orchestration, and vector-based memory systems * Develop and optimize ML models, pipelines, and orchestration logic * Drive technical strategy, tooling, and infrastructure decisions * Architect and implement agentic AI systems leveraging GCP services (Vertex AI, Big Query, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, etc.)
