AI Engineering Lead, New York

About the role

Turing is looking for people with GenAI experience to join us in solving business problems for our Fortune 500 customers. 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 as a software engineer 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 like.
• 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 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 the 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 & Cross-functional collaboration
• 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.
• Work closely with product owners, data scientists, and business SMEs to define project requirements, translate technical details, and deliver impactful AI products.
