Senior Agentic AI Lead — Barcelona
The Opportunity
We're not looking for someone who talks about the future of AI. We're looking for someone who's building it.
Join our Agentic AI Innovation Hub (part of Innovation Center in Barcelona)— a dedicated space where elite AI professionals co-innovate with clients to design, prototype, and deploy autonomous agent systems at enterprise scale. This is not a lab. This is not a back-office. This is where Agentic AI meets real business transformation.
We're hiring a Senior Agentic AI Lead to spearhead the next wave of intelligent automation — someone who can architect multi-agent systems, lead cross-functional teams, and drive the transformation of our clients' operations through agentic intelligence.
What You'll Do
- Lead the design and delivery of end-to-end Agentic AI solutions for global clients across industries — from pharma and life sciences to banking, insurance, and the public sector.
- Architect multi-agent systems that plan, reason, orchestrate tools, and execute complex workflows autonomously — moving organizations beyond isolated use cases to full operational reinvention.
- Define the technical vision for agentic architectures: agent orchestration patterns (sequential, concurrent, hierarchical), memory management, evaluation frameworks, and responsible AI guardrails.
- Co-innovate with clients in hands-on workshops, rapid prototyping sessions, and applied research sprints — benchmarking emerging models and building industry-specific reference architectures.
- Mentor and grow a team of AI engineers and consultants, fostering a culture of technical excellence, experimentation, and continuous learning.
- Shape the Hub's identity as a thought leader — contributing to publications, speaking at events (MWC, Codemotion, university partnerships), and becoming a visible voice in Barcelona's AI ecosystem.
What You Bring
Must-Have
- 8+ years in applied AI/ML roles, with at least 3 years focused on LLM-based systems, generative AI, or autonomous agents in production environments.
- Deep hands-on experience with agentic AI frameworks and orchestration patterns — e.g., LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, OpenAI Agents SDK, or equivalent.
- Strong software engineering foundation: Python, API design, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines.
- Proven ability to architect multi-agent systems: tool calling, sub-agent orchestration, state management, RAG pipelines, evaluation harnesses, and observability.
- Experience leading technical teams and translating complex AI capabilities into tangible business outcomes for enterprise clients.
- Fluent English and Spanish (written and spoken).
Nice-to-Have
- Experience with MLOps at scale — model deployment, monitoring, drift detection, and lifecycle management.
- Familiarity with Responsible AI frameworks, bias mitigation, and AI governance in regulated industries.
- Background in consulting or professional services, with the ability to navigate client-facing environments.
- Contributions to open-source AI projects, research publications, or conference talks.
- Expertise in industry-specific AI applications (pharma, financial services, supply chain, or public sector).
