Description and Requirements
Lenovo is seeking a highly motivated Agentic Systems & Orchestration AI Engineer to contribute to the design, development, and exploration of our next-generation AI systems. You will design and implement agentic AI systems: multi-step agents, planners, tool-using models, and orchestration layers that coordinate models, tools, and data. Your work turns LLMs from “text in/text out” engines into systems that can act, reason, and interact reliably. This is an exciting opportunity to gain hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI systems while collaborating with experienced engineers, researchers, and product teams to help advance Lenovo’s Hybrid AI vision and make Smarter Technology for All. #LATC
Responsibilities
- Design and implement agents
Build agents that can plan tasks, call tools/APIs, decompose problems, and iterate based on feedback and intermediate results.
- Orchestration & routing
Develop orchestration services that coordinate multiple models, agents, and tools (e.g., planners, executors, critics, evaluators), including policy logic and routing decisions.
- Tooling & integration
Integrate agents with internal and external tools: APIs, databases, retrieval systems, transactional systems, and product features. Handle auth, error cases, and safety constraints.
- Context & state handling for agents
Work closely with context management to maintain agent state across steps and sessions, including working memory, scratchpads, and long-running workflows.
- Reliability, safety & guardrails
Implement checks, constraints, and fallback policies so agents behave predictably and safely, especially when they can take real-world actions.
- Observability & debugging
Build tracing, logging, dashboards, and replay tools to understand agent behavior, diagnose failures, and iterate on policies and prompts.
- Experimentation & iteration
Design experiments to compare agent architectures, policies, and tool sets; iterate based on offline and online metrics and qualitative user feedback.
Qualifications
- 5+ years in software engineering, ML engineering, or applied AI roles, including experience shipping systems that rely on LLMs or other ML components.
- Strong programming skills in Python and experience building backend services (REST/gRPC, microservices, or similar).
- Solid understanding of system design basics: latency, throughput, reliability, and failure modes.
- Hands-on experience working with LLM-based applications (e.g., chatbots, copilots, automation tools, or internal agent-like systems).
- Familiarity with at least one agentic or orchestration framework (e.g., LangChain, Autogen, CrewAI, custom in-house frameworks), or evidence of having built similar functionality yourself.
- Ability to reason about complex multi-step flows, failure modes, and edge cases.
- Comfortable diagnosing issues that span prompts, tools, infra, and product logic.
Bonus Points
- Experience designing multi-agent or multi-stage workflows (e.g., planner/solver/critic architectures).
- Background integrating LLMs with transactional systems, internal tools, or external APIs.
- Exposure to safety/guardrail systems: policy engines, content filters, or constrained tool execution.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms, containers (Docker), and observability tools (metrics, tracing, logging).
