The RAPIDS Data Science group is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the conception, research, development, and optimization of our agentic blueprints and applications. This role focuses on leading a focused engineering team to craft world-class agentic blueprints that teach the industry how to implement agentic AI applications in their own enterprises. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in generative AI, demonstrated leadership of applied research and development teams, and a shown ability to convert proof-of-concept applications into products.

What you'll be doing:

• Conceptualize, design, develop, and implement agentic AI blueprints (applications) that show enterprises how to deploy this technology.

• Ensure the applications meet the highest standards for quality, robustness, and composability.

• Define success and evaluation criteria, including reproducible workflows and datasets.

• Lead an applied research and development team focused on agentic AI blueprints.

• Collaborate with NVIDIA product teams and external partners on these applications, ensuring that we build what is most applicable to a wide audience.

• Provide technical leadership and mentorship across teams, projects, and internal groups.

What we need to see:

• BS or MS in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related quantitative field.

• 10+ overall years of experience in software engineering or system architecture with a strong focus in Python, C++, or Go Development.

• 5+ years of experience as a leader/manager of a multi-functional team, providing sustainable professional development, growth, and technical mentorship.

• Experience leading a team developing in agentic frameworks (e.g., LangChain, Semantic Kernel, Crew.ai, AutoGen, Google ADK).

• Shown success in developing generative AI or agentic AI applications as proof-of-concept.

• Self-starter with excellent collaboration skills and a history of working with cross-disciplinary teams, including research and production.

• Strong desire to work on the cutting edge of technology in a constantly evolving environment while quickly learning and applying new technologies and libraries.

Ways to stand out from the crowd:

• PhD (or similar) in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related quantitative field.

• Demonstrable success in creating end-to-end AI applications with clear business improvements and metrics.

• Consistent record architecting agentic applications, including those that use common tool calling capabilities (e.g., MCP).

• Demonstrated history of contributing and building open-source software projects that address real enterprise challenges.

• A passion to lead multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail.
