About the role

We are seeking an experienced Tech Lead / Lead Developer - Agentic AI to lead the design, development, and deployment of next-generation AI applications. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you will lead a team of 4-5 developers while actively contributing to architecture, coding, and implementation of production-grade AI solutions. The ideal candidate has real-world experience building and deploying Agentic AI and LLM-based applications, strong software engineering fundamentals, and expertise across the complete AI Development Lifecycle (AIDLC). This is not a DevOps or Data Science role—we need a developer who has successfully implemented AI solutions in production.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and mentor a team of AI developers while remaining hands-on with development.
  • Design, develop, and deploy production-grade LLM and multi-agent AI applications.
  • Build scalable AI services using Python (FastAPI/Flask).
  • Develop and integrate AI APIs, webhooks, and backend services.
  • Design AI architectures and ensure high-quality, scalable implementations.
  • Collaborate with Product Owners and engineering teams to deliver AI-powered products.
  • Deploy and manage applications using Docker, Kubernetes, Git, and CI/CD.
  • Optimize AI application performance, monitoring, and production deployments.
  • Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and technical leadership activities.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of software development experience.
  • Proven experience leading development teams.
  • Strong hands-on expertise with Python, FastAPI, or Flask.
  • Extensive experience implementing Agentic AI, LLMs, and Multi-Agent Systems.
  • Experience designing and deploying production AI applications.
  • Strong understanding of the complete AI Development Lifecycle (AIDLC).
  • Experience building AI APIs, integrations, and webhook-based services.
  • Knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript for AI application integration.
  • Experience with Git, Docker, Kubernetes, and production deployments.
  • Familiarity with cloud-based AI application deployment and monitoring.
  • Experience with Postman for API testing.
  • Excellent communication and technical leadership skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience building AI-driven business intelligence or recommendation platforms.
  • Experience working with distributed Agile teams.
  • Cloud platform experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Strong problem-solving and system design skills.

What We're Looking For

  • Genuine production-level Agentic AI implementation experience.
  • Experience building AI applications without relying solely on AI coding assistants.
  • Ability to lead a team while remaining an active individual contributor.
  • Strong architecture, coding, and delivery mindset.
  • Available to start within 2 weeks.
  • Comfortable working EST business hours.
