Required Machine Learning Manager - Agentic Modeling
ID 30306
Role Description:
In this role, you will lead a team of Machine Learning Scientists, ML and Data Engineers dedicated to building, evolving, and scaling our agentic AI platform. This includes developing reusable agent types (classification, entity extraction, guardrails, summarization, general-purpose), agent strategies for planning and reasoning, memory capabilities, context management, and multi-agent patterns .
As a technical manager, you should be passionate about agentic AI systems, keep up to date with recent breakthroughs in LLM agents, tool use, and reasoning, define and shape the team's ML roadmap, and not be afraid to get your hands dirty with code when needed.
You are expected to be the focal point for all technical aspects, make sure your team members deliver on their tasks, and work together with product managers and mission stakeholders to define and shape the roadmap. You will work independently and be responsible for making technical decisions within your team.
When it comes to management, your expertise in handling people will motivate and inspire them to reach outstanding success! You should have experience in developing people. You will mentor and coach your team while working closely with Product Managers.
Key Job Responsibilities and Duties:
Leadership in Agentic AI Development - Build, guide, and mentor a team of ML scientists and engineers in developing agent types, strategies, SDK capabilities, and production tooling for AI agents at scale.
Platform & SDK Strategy - Define and communicate the technical vision for the agentic modeling platform, ensuring it scales across missions (Trip Planning, Search, AITP, Trip Support, Content) and enables teams to go from idea to production agent in days, not months.
Agent Strategy & Reasoning - Drive development of advanced agent planning capabilities: iterative reasoning, self-correction, multi-step logic with conditional paths, and multi-agent collaboration patterns.
Context & Memory Systems - Lead the design and implementation of smart context management and agent memory (short-term session state, long-term episodic and semantic memory) as configurable building blocks.
Evaluation & Optimization - Own the integration with evaluation frameworks and production data tooling to enable systematic agent improvement across accuracy, latency, cost, and reliability.
Developer Experience - Drive improvements to developer tooling (Claude Code integration, AI Studio), ensuring low barriers to entry and fast iteration cycles for mission teams.
Foster a culture of collaboration, innovation, and excellence within the team.
Prioritize work in collaboration with Product Managers, depending on business needs and keeping stakeholders aligned at all times.
Requirements: Leadership Experience: At least 3 years of experience leading ML teams in NLP, Generative AI, or Agentic AI domains, with a proven ability to guide teams in achieving impactful results.
Agentic AI Expertise: Deep knowledge of LLM-based agent architectures - tool use, function calling, planning strategies (ReAct, chain-of-thought, iterative reasoning), memory systems, and multi-agent patterns. Experience building or leading teams that ship agent-based products at scale.
Platform & SDK Mindset: Experience building reusable ML platforms, SDKs, or frameworks consumed by multiple teams. Strong intuition for developer experience, API design, and configuration-driven architectures.
Academic and Applied Background:
MSc with 6+ years of professional experience, or PhD with 4+ years of experience, applying Machine Learning to solve business challenges.
Master's, PhD, or equivalent experience in a quantitative field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Artificial Intelligence, Physics, etc.).
Strong advantage for candidates with research or applied experience in NLP, dialogue systems, or agentic AI.
This position is open to all candidates.
