Job Summary

Claude Agentic AI Lead Delivery & Engineering

NYC NY (3 days onsite)

Contract to Hire

Job Description:

About the Role:

This is not a slide-making or prompt-engineering role. We are looking for someone who has built multi-agent AI systems that run in production - not demos not pilots that died after a sprint. You will anchor AI delivery programs end-to-end work directly with global clients and stay sharp on a field that changes every few weeks.
You will report into and replicate the function of a senior AI delivery leader - which means you need both the depth to architect solutions and the presence to walk a CXO through what you built and why it works.

What You Must Have Actually Done

Not just what you know. What you have shipped.

  • Deployed 2 3 agent-based systems in production - stateful multi-step real users
  • Used LangGraph for multi-agent orchestration with memory tool routing and state management
  • Built projects where AI (Claude Code Codex Cursor) wrote significant portions of the code
  • Implemented RAG pipelines end-to-end - chunking embedding retrieval re-ranking evaluation
  • Integrated agents with real enterprise APIs - not just OpenAI playground or sample data
  • Debugged a production agent failure - and fixed it without blaming the model
  • Can articulate when NOT to use agents - that is how we know you have built things

Bonus - Real Differentiators

  • Experience with Claude Code CLI in team environments ( shared context multi-session flows)
  • Familiarity with LangSmith for agent tracing evaluation pipelines and debugging at scale
  • Has shipped something using MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar shared-context tooling
  • QA/testing mindset for agents - systematic evaluation of non-deterministic outputs
  • Background in IT services or consulting - managing client expectations while building
  • Experience with SLMs fine-tuning or on device/edge agent deployment

What We Are Not Looking For

  • Someone who lists LLMs on a resume but has only called the API in a Jupyter notebook
  • AI enthusiasts whose hands-on experience is less than a year old
  • People who explain everything in terms of frameworks they have never deployed
  • Consultants who can only narrate what others have built
