About the role
Description
GlobalLogic is building AI-first enterprise solutions that help global clients transform their digital platforms and products. As a Senior/Lead AI Engineer, you will own and drive the development of our core agentic frameworks, evaluation pipelines, and observability tooling to ensure they operate with safety, trust, and intelligence at scale. You won’t just be integrating AI into a product, you will lead the engineering systems that make these technologies trustworthy, robust, and scalable for enterprise clients.
We are looking for a Senior/Lead AI Engineer to provide technical leadership and architectural direction to our AI engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing high-performance multi-agent systems, establishing robust evaluation standards, and mentoring other engineers to build production-grade, LLM-backed applications.

Requirements
- 5+ years of software engineering experience, including hands-on experience shipping agentic or LLM-backed systems that are used in production.
- AI DLC experience: Demonstrated experience with AI Development Life Cycle practices and methodology.
- Orchestration: Production, hands-on experience with an agentic framework such as LangGraph, plus familiarity with MCP-based tool orchestration. Exposure to AutoGen, LlamaIndex, or CrewAI is a plus.
- Production Python engineering: Clean, modular, testable, maintainable code — you care about system reliability as much as model output.
- Evaluation & observability: Practical experience instrumenting tracing (LangSmith, Arize) and building CI/CD pipelines built specifically for LLMs.
- Engineering foundations: Distributed systems, scalable data pipelines (Kafka, SQL), and cloud-native infrastructure.
- Cloud-native deployment: Deep familiarity with shipping agentic workloads into production environments, ideally leveraging Kubernetes for enterprise scale.
What We’re Solving Together
Our goal is to build an inclusive positive culture where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves, empowering people to create their own high standards and therefore more value. We work together to promote fairness while recognising, valuing and embracing differences – providing a transparent support structure and generous training budget to help our people develop skills to progress their career. Our region supports a hybrid model that can flex across a wide spectrum of working options determined by business, customer and individual needs.
You'll benefit from a comprehensive health and wellness plan, private healthcare (clinical and mental wellbeing), discounted gym memberships, and in office yoga sessions and massages. We offer a fantastic benefits package including a competitive pension scheme and recognition schemes through bonus/reward initiatives. Colleagues are entitled to an annual volunteering day – so you can take time to support a cause close to your heart. We also love to stay social with trips to the zoo, quiz nights, sports events, theatre trips and much more.
We are an equal opportunities employer.
