Engagement Manager (NYC)
At LangChain, our mission is to make intelligent agents ubiquitous. We build the foundation for agent engineering in the real world, helping developers move from prototypes to production-ready AI agents that teams can rely on. We began as widely adopted open-source tools and have grown to also offer a platform for building, evaluating, deploying, and operating agents at scale. Today, our platform includes LangSmith (Observability, Evaluation, Deployment, Fleet, and Sandboxes), our open source frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, and Deep Agents), and the newly launched LangSmith Engine for autonomous agent improvement.
About The Team
The Professional Services team is the bridge between LangChain's technology and the enterprise customers building on top of it. We partner with some of the world's most ambitious companies to help them move from pilot to production—designing solutions, accelerating time-to-value, and ensuring teams get the most out of LangChain, LangGraph, and LangSmith. We work at the intersection of deep technical expertise and customer partnership, and we take pride in the outcomes our customers achieve.
