Senior Manager, AI Engineer

WhatYou’llDo for Us

Develop and deploy AI agents and GenAI solutions:prototype, iterate, and take to production domain-specific AI agents capable of information gathering, insight generation, and intelligent action. Design and implement AI agents using open interoperability standards such as Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) to securely connect agents with enterprise data, tools, and external systems while enabling coordinated multi-agent workflows across business domains

Write and optimize production-grade AI code:produce high-quality, well-tested, maintainable code in Python and other relevant languages.OptimizeAI models and inference pipelines for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency at scale. Ensure all code adheres to The Coca-Cola Company’s engineering standards for quality, security, and observability

Deploy andoperateAI solutions on cloud infrastructure:deploy,monitor, andoptimizeAI agents and models on Azure cloud infrastructure. Build and maintainMLOpspipelines covering model training, versioning, inference, and CI/CD. Ensure high availability, scalability, and end-to-end observability for AI products in production

Integrate AI capabilities into enterprise platforms:collaborate with Application Engineering and Data Engineering squads to embed AI outputs into product workflows, APIs, and user-facing features; work cross-functionally to translate data science prototypes into robust, production-ready applications; and ensure seamless integration of AI components with existing enterprise data platforms and business systems

Implement AI observability and telemetry:implement runtime observability for AI agents and LLM applications, including tracing, reasoning paths, token consumption, latency, cost, output quality, and guardrail violations to ensure production reliability

Build agent evaluation frameworks:design agent evaluation pipelines, develop evaluation harnesses, benchmark datasets, regression tests, and automated quality scoring to continuously assess agent accuracy, safety, and business performance

Engineer enterprise AI context:design retrieval pipelines using enterprise semantic layers, knowledge graphs, vector search, and business ontologies to ground AI agents in trusted enterprise context and improve response quality

Implement AI safety and runtime controls:configure runtime AI controls including policy enforcement, human-in-the-loop workflows, autonomy thresholds, prompt injection defenses, and secure tool execution for enterprise AI agents

Design multi-agent systems:design and orchestrate multi-agent systems that coordinate planning, reasoning, tool execution, and human collaboration across complex enterprise workflows

Operate AI applications in production:manage prompt versioning, evaluation, experimentation, routing strategies, cost optimization, and the production lifecycle for LLM- and agent-powered applications using modernLLMOpsandAgentOpspractices

Support digital twin capabilities:develop AI capabilities that support enterprise digital twins by integrating operational, commercial, and enterprise data into intelligent simulations, predictions, and decision-support workflows

Collaborate effectively within agile engineering teams:work closely with Technical Leads, software engineers, data engineers, and fellow AI Engineers to design, build, test, and deliver AI capabilities. Contribute to sprint planning, backlog refinement, technical design discussions, code reviews, and collaborative problem-solving to ensure high-quality engineering outcomes

Maintain technical currency and drive continuous improvement:stay current with advances in AI, machine learning, and Generative AI and integrate relevant developments into existing and new solutions; conduct rigorous testing and validation to ensure reliability, accuracy, and explainability of AI agents and outputs; and contribute to internal knowledge sharing, code reviews, and engineering best practices
