AI Lead

Delivery & Architecture

• Own end-to-end delivery of AI-native programs - from architecture through production deployment
• Design and build multi-agent orchestration systems using LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or equivalent
• Integrate agent systems with enterprise surfaces: APIs, ERPs, CRMs, data platforms - not toy datasets
• Define agent topology: tool routing, memory strategy, state machines, fallback handling

Agentic Coding & Development

• Run agentic coding workflows using Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, or equivalent CLI tools
• Lead projects where AI writes significant portions of the codebase - and you guide, review, and ship it
• Work with CLAUDE.md, shared context frameworks, and multi-session agent setups for team use
• Debug non-deterministic agent outputs systematically - not by gut feel

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

• Translate business problems into agent architectures for global CXO-level stakeholders
• Run discovery workshops, solution reviews, and delivery cadences with client teams
• Prepare and present technical proposals, POC plans, and roadmaps - own the story end-to-end

Team & Practice

• Mentor junior AI engineers; raise AI engineering quality across the delivery team
• Stay current: evaluate new models, frameworks, and tooling before the hype catches up
• Contribute to internal knowledge bases, reusable frameworks, and accelerators

Skills

Agent Orchestration

LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI - not just conceptual

MCP / Shared Context

Model Context Protocol, CLAUDE.md, Beads

Agent Evaluation

Testing non-deterministic outputs, guardrails, evals

CI/CD & DevOps

Git, containers, pipelines - agents need to ship

Client Communication

Can present architecture to a CXO without jargon
