Key Responsibilities

• Agentic AI System Design Engineering: Design and implement agent architectures, planner executor tool using agents, multi-agent orchestration, reflection evaluation loops. Build tooling integrations for agents, merchant systems, underwriting platforms, transaction stores, risk engines, CRM case tools, knowledge bases, and workflow engines. Implement robust state management, session memory, task plans, provenance traceability, and replay ability of agent actions.
• LLM RAG Engineering for Payments Workloads: Develop RAG pipelines over policies, SOPs, card network rules, underwriting guidelines, dispute playbooks, and merchant agreements. Apply prompt and system design structured output patterns and schema validation for deterministic agent behavior. Optimize for latency, cost, and reliability using caching, model routing, and evaluation-driven prompt iteration.
• ML Decisioning Integration: Combine LLM agents with classical ML models, fraud scoring, anomaly detection, risk scoring, and rules engines. Build feedback loops from outcomes, chargeback win rate, false positives, approval uplift to continuously improve models and agent strategies.
• Safety Compliance and Responsible AI: Implement guardrails, PII handling policy enforcement, prompt injection defenses, tool per missioning, rate limiting, and safe failover. Ensure auditability, why an agent took action, evidence used, and human approval where required, human-in-the-loop.
• Productionization MLOps LLMOps: Build CI/CD for agent services, evaluation suites, telemetry, drift detection, and incident response playbooks. Instrument agent behavior using tracing spans, structured logs, and metrics, task success, tool errors, hallucination indicators.
• Collaboration Leadership: Partner with Product, Risk, Ops, Underwriting, Compliance, and Engineering to convert business problems into deployable AI solutions. Mentor engineers, set standards for agent design patterns, testing, and production readiness.
