Lead the design and delivery of enterprise AI platforms and applications on Google Cloud, leveraging Vertex AI, Gemini, and cloud-native technologies. Design, fine-tune, and govern LLM solutions; build RAG and agentic systems; and define end-to-end architectures spanning data pipelines, feature engineering, model lifecycle, APIs, and MLOps/LLMOps. Architect cloud-native applications on GKE, Cloud Run, and managed services while implementing security, governance, and production-grade monitoring for AI/ML systems at scale.

Build the foundational agentic AI layer for a materials-science platform, including multi-model provider abstraction, agent orchestration with stateful checkpoints, retrieval systems, prompt versioning, and comprehensive tracing and evaluation frameworks. You'll design agents that plan and reason over tool calls in production, implement human-in-the-loop safety gates, and ensure all LLM behavior remains auditable and cost-tracked across customers' secure environments. The role demands deep production experience with agentic and LLM systems: async Python, structured outputs, memory and context management, multi-step workflow orchestration, and evaluation harnesses that catch regressions before deployment.
