• Platform Architecture: Architect and develop the core Agentic AI platform, designing autonomous agents that can reason, plan, and execute complex workflows to drive operational excellence.
• Hands-on Engineering: Actively code and prototype key components of the system (Python/LLM frameworks), setting the standard for code quality and architectural patterns.
• Strategy & Roadmap: Collaborate with global executive leadership to define the AI product roadmap, ensuring alignment with Deep Sync’s broader data and identity strategy.
• Team Building: Recruit, hire, and mentor a high-performing team of AI engineers and data scientists, fostering a culture of innovation, ownership, and technical excellence.
• LLM & GenAI Integration: Drive the integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI technologies into our deterministic identity graph and marketing solutions.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience: 12+ years of total software engineering experience, with at least 4+ years in a technical leadership or management role.
• AI/Agentic Expertise: Deep understanding of the Agentic AI landscape (e.g., LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel) and experience building autonomous agent workflows.
• Technical Proficiency: Expert-level programming skills in Python; proficiency in Java or C++ is a plus. Strong experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Milvus) and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architectures.
• Cloud & Scale: Experience designing scalable systems on cloud platforms (AWS preferred) and using containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Founding Mindset: Previous experience in a startup environment or as a founding member of a new team/product vertical is highly desirable.
• Location: Must be located in the country of India, NOT the US.
