The Company is seeking a Vice President of AI Engineering to lead the design and deployment of agentic AI systems for the automation and optimization of large-scale production environments. The successful candidate will be responsible for building LLM-powered solutions that can diagnose issues, reason over complex systems, and take secure, auditable actions. This role involves the development of RAG pipelines and domain knowledge systems with a focus on strong data quality, feedback loops, and governance. The VP will also be tasked with the productionization of LLMs, including the implementation of evaluation frameworks, prompt orchestration, and self-correction loops, as well as the integration of AI agents with various operational platforms.

Applicants must have a Bachelor's degree in a quantitative or computational field, with a Master's or PhD preferred, and at least 7 years of experience in applied ML, data science, or software engineering within production environments.
