Key Responsibilities

GenAI & Agentic AI Architecture

  • Define enterprise reference architectures for Agentic AI and LLM-powered platforms, including:
    • Single-agent and multi-agent systems
    • Tool-calling and function orchestration
    • Memory, planning, and execution layers
  • Own architectural decisions for Claude / Claude Code and other enterprise-grade LLMs, including model selection, deployment patterns, and cost–latency trade-offs.
  • Design secure-by-default GenAI systems incorporating:
    • Guardrails and policy enforcement
    • Data privacy, PII handling, and prompt safety
    • Controlled tool execution in regulated environments

RAG, Knowledge & Data Systems

  • Architect large-scale RAG solutions, covering:
    • Data ingestion and curation pipelines
    • Chunking and embedding strategies
    • Vector databases and hybrid search
    • Evaluation and feedback loops
  • Partner with Data Engineering teams to ensure data quality, lineage, observability, and governance for AI-driven systems.

Platform & Engineering Excellence

  • Drive production readiness of GenAI systems:
    • API-first design (FastAPI / REST / event-driven)
    • CI/CD for LLM workflows
    • Monitoring, evaluation, and cost tracking
  • Establish engineering standards, reusable frameworks, and accelerators for faster adoption across EXL accounts.
  • Review and influence cloud architecture (Azure / AWS / GCP) for scalable and compliant AI deployments.

Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Act as a technical authority for GenAI across delivery teams and client engagements.
  • Mentor senior engineers, tech leads, and architects on agentic patterns and advanced LLM engineering.
  • Partner with clients, product owners, and domain SMEs to shape AI roadmaps, solution designs, and value articulation.

Mandatory Skills & Experience

12+ years of total experience with deep hands-on expertise in Generative AI / LLM-based systems, and strong prior background in Data Engineering or Data Science (mandatory).

Generative AI / LLM Expertise

  • Deep hands-on experience with:
    • Claude / Anthropic ecosystem (including Claude Code exposure is a strong plus)
    • Other enterprise LLMs (OpenAI, Mistral, LLaMA, etc.)
  • Strong command over:
    • Prompt engineering, prompt orchestration, and agent workflows
    • Tool/function calling, planning–execution loops
    • LLM and RAG evaluation techniques (precision, grounding, faithfulness)

Agentic & RAG Architecture

  • Proven experience designing:
    • Agentic AI systems (ReAct, Plan-and-Execute, multi-agent setups)
    • RAG architectures using vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, Chroma, etc.)
  • Strong understanding of hallucination mitigation, guardrails, and safety frameworks.

Core Engineering & Platform Skills

  • Expert-level Python engineering (production-grade systems).
  • Strong experience with cloud-native AI solutions on Azure, AWS, or GCP.
  • API design, microservices, and event-driven architectures.

Mandatory Prior Background

  • Data Engineering or Data Science experience is non-negotiable, including:
    • Data pipelines / ETL / ELT / orchestration
    • ML or NLP model lifecycle
    • Analytics platforms or data product engineering

Good-to-Have / Preferred

  • Fine-tuning and adaptation strategies (LoRA / PEFT / prompt tuning).
  • Experience with MLOps / LLMOps platforms and observability stacks.
  • Experience delivering GenAI solutions in regulated industries (Insurance, Healthcare, BFS).
  • Exposure to enterprise AI governance frameworks.
