Lead AI Engineer

About Maersk:

Maersk, the world’s largest integrated logistics company, is transforming how goods move across continents — and at the heart of that shift is platform-led AI. Through MIDAS (Maersk Integrated Data and AI Solution), we are building an enterprise-grade data and AI foundation that powers operational intelligence, customer copilots, agent-based automation, and emissions optimization at global scale.

We’re hiring a foundational team to build our AI/ML Platform - a composable, governed, multi-tenant layer enabling enterprise-wide GenAI, RAG pipelines, and ML lifecycle management. If you’re excited to architect and scale real-time LLM infrastructure, reusable ML workflows, and agentic systems, this is your moment.

Overview:

As Lead AI Engineer, you’ll own the architecture and engineering direction of GenAI and agentic capabilities within the MIDAS platform. You'll build core primitives—prompt routing, vector retrieval, and agent orchestration—that support copilots, intelligent assistants, and semantic interfaces across the enterprise.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect modular GenAI infrastructure: prompt routers, RAG pipelines, agent runtimes
• Integrate and scale vector search platforms (e.g., Qdrant, Weaviate, FAISS)
• Design secure execution environments and tool registries for LLM-powered agents
• Lead evaluations of LLM APIs and open-weight models for cost-performance alignment
• Define observability patterns for prompts, retrieval quality, and agent workflows
• Collaborate across Platform, Security, and Data teams to ensure scalable governance

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• 10+ years in backend, AI/ML systems, or data platform engineering
• Deep experience in NLP or search systems, with 1–2 years working hands-on with GenAI / LLMs
• Strong understanding of RAG, multi-agent systems, prompt orchestration, and LLMOps
• Proficient with LangChain, LangGraph, vector DBs, and embedding strategies
• Ability to lead through architectural uncertainty and drive cross-team alignment
