Chief Generative AI Engineer

We are looking for a Chief Generative AI Engineer to join our team. As a Generative AI Engineer you will design, build, and operationalize a multi-agent AI contact center solution for a customer-facing conversational AI workstream. Scope covers LLM orchestration across specialized agents, prompt engineering and refinement, guardrail and compliance enforcement, automated evaluation and hallucination-detection pipelines, CI/CD evaluation gates, and production operations optimization for cost, latency, and containment. Delivery is fully AWS cloud-native, centered on Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock AgentCore with serverless orchestration (Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, DynamoDB, API Gateway) and integration into an Amazon Connect contact center flow.

Responsibilities

• Architect multi-agent workflows on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, defining agent roles, tool contracts, memory strategy, and hand-off patterns across the conversation lifecycle
• Design prompt architectures, system instructions, and context-assembly patterns that hold up under production traffic and adversarial input
• Define guardrail and compliance controls, including PII redaction, topic denial, grounding constraints, and safe-fallback paths, aligned to customer regulatory obligations
• Build and iterate agent orchestration logic, tool/function integrations, and retrieval flows using Python on serverless AWS services
• Implement structured prompt versioning and experimentation so that changes remain traceable and reversible
• Integrate agentic capabilities with contact center telephony and chat channels, including deflection, escalation, and live-agent hand-off flows
• Build automated test and evaluation pipelines using LLM-as-a-Judge, golden datasets, and rubric-based scoring for accuracy, tone, grounding, and task completion
• Implement hallucination detection and grounding validation with quantified thresholds and regression tracking across model and prompt versions
• Wire evaluation gates into CI/CD so that no prompt, model, or agent change ships without passing quality and safety criteria
• Instrument observability, including traces, token accounting, latency, containment, and deflection rate, and drive tuning for cost and performance in production
• Act as deputy to the Technical Lead, covering technical decision-making, customer-facing reviews, and delivery continuity during Lead absence, and mentor engineers on agentic and evaluation practices

Requirements

• A minimum of 7 years of relevant experience
• At least 2 years of leadership and team management experience
• Experience in generative AI engineering, including LLM application design, prompt engineering, RAG, and model selection/tuning tradeoffs
• Experience designing agentic and multi-agent workflows, including orchestration, tool use, memory, and hand-off patterns
• Experience with LLM-as-a-Judge and automated evaluation, including rubric design, golden datasets, hallucination detection, and regression harnesses
• Experience with Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock AgentCore
• Strong Python skills for production AI services
• Experience with AWS serverless architecture, including Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, EventBridge, and CI/CD automation
• Excellent English proficiency (B2 level or higher)

Nice to have

• Experience with Amazon Connect, including contact flows, Lex integration, and Contact Lens
• Familiarity with Responsible AI, guardrails, and compliance frameworks for regulated industries
• Experience with observability and cost/latency optimization for LLM workloads
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as CDK or Terraform

Benefits

• International projects with top brands
• Work with global teams of highly skilled, diverse peers
• Healthcare benefits
• Employee financial programs
• Paid time off and sick leave
• Upskilling, reskilling and certification courses
• Unlimited access to the LinkedIn Learning library and 22,000+ courses
• Global career opportunities
• Volunteer and community involvement opportunities
• EPAM Employee Groups
• Award-winning culture recognized by Glassdoor, Newsweek and LinkedIn
