Key Responsibilities

1. AI-First Solution Engineering

  • Work with stakeholders’ and EXL delivery teams to deeply understand business workflows, data landscapes, and systems, and translate business problems into technical AI solution designs.

  • Rapidly build AI prototypes, POCs, and pilots, and take them through to production deployment and enterprise adoption.

  • Configure, customize, and extend EXL’s AI platforms and accelerators to fit business-specific contexts and constraints.

2. Agentic AI & AI Solution Development

  • Design and build agentic workflows, advances RAG pipelines, LLM integrations, tool-using agents, and human-in-the-loop systems.

  • Apply prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, and fine-tuning techniques to achieve accuracy, reliability, and safety targets.

  • Integrate AI solutions with enterprise systems (APIs, data platforms, CRMs, contact center and core operations systems).

3. Deployment, Integration & Production Ownership

  • Own end-to-end deployment: environment setup, CI/CD, LLMOps/MLOps, monitoring, guardrails, and observability.

  • Ensure solutions are secure, compliant, and production-grade, aligned with responsible AI, privacy, and EXL security standards.

  • Troubleshoot live systems and continuously optimize for latency, cost, quality, and scale.

4. Stakeholder Engagement & Value Realization

  • Act as a trusted technical advisor to stakeholders; lead demos, workshops, and technical deep dives.

  • Define success metrics and demonstrate measurable outcomes: productivity gains, cost reduction, risk mitigation, and revenue uplift.

  • Capture field feedback and channel it into EXL’s platform and product roadmaps.

5. Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing

  • Collaborate closely with platform engineering, data science, and delivery teams across geographies.

  • Create reusable assets, accelerators, playbooks, and documentation from multiple deployments.

  • Mentor engineers and evangelize best practices in applied and agentic AI across accounts.

Technical & Architecture Expertise (Agentic AI)

  • Strong hands-on software engineering skills (Python and/or TypeScript), including APIs, microservices, and cloud-native development on AWS, Azure, or GCP.

  • Practical experience building with agentic AI frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI and emerging standards like MCP (Model Context Protocol).

  • Deep working knowledge of foundation models and platforms, including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and open-source LLM stacks; strong grasp of RAG, embeddings, and vector databases.

  • Experience with LLMOps/MLOps: evaluation, monitoring, guardrails, versioning, and cost/performance optimization in production.

  • Exposure to multimodal AI technologies (voice, avatar, video) using platforms like ElevenLabs and HeyGen.

  • Fluency with AI-native developer tools such as Cursor, Replit, Claude Code, and related copilots.

  • Ability to design solutions within enterprise-grade architecture, security, and responsible AI guardrails, balancing scalability, cost, and compliance.

 

Key Outcomes & Success Metrics

  • High POC-to-production conversion and rapid deployment velocity across engagements.

  • Tangible business outcomes – productivity, cost, quality, and revenue impact – attributable to deployed solutions.

  • Reusable solution assets and accelerators adopted across multiple accounts, not one-off builds.

  • Strong production reliability, security, and responsible AI compliance posture for deployed solutions.

  • High satisfaction and expansion of EXL’s AI footprint within assigned accounts.

 

Required Experience & Qualifications

  • 4–8 years of experience in software engineering, applied AI/ML, or solution engineering, with 2+ years of hands-on GenAI/LLM development.

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

  • Proven track record of:

    • Shipping production GenAI/agentic AI solutions for enterprise functions

    • Working directly with business stakeholders in consulting, forward-deployed, or solution engineering roles

    • Delivering measurable business outcomes from AI deployments

  • Strong understanding of:

    • Agentic AI and LLM architectures, RAG, and evaluation

    • Data platforms, cloud, security, and compliance

    • Enterprise integration and legacy system modernization

  • Willingness to travel and work onsite at business locations as required.

 

Leadership & Behavioral Expectations

  • Owner’s mindset with a strong bias for action and outcome orientation.

  • Comfort with ambiguity, rapid iteration, and fast-changing environments.

  • Exceptional communication skills – able to translate deep technical work into business value for executives.

  • Collaborative, and AI-first working style across diverse teams.

  • Deep commitment to responsible AI and ethical deployment.

 
 

Why This Role Matters to EXL

  • Forward Deployment Engineers are the bridge between EXL’s AI platforms and real value – proving AI works in production, not just in demos.

  • This role directly shapes how EXL builds, deploys, and scales AI, accelerating the journey to an AI-native enterprise partner.
