A place to share your ideas freely - even if they’re daring or different. Where the true you can learn, grow, and thrive. At Verizon, we power and empower how people live, work and play by connecting them to what brings them joy. We do what we love - driving innovation, creativity, and impact in the world. Our V Team is a community of people who anticipate, lead, and believe that listening is where learning begins. In crisis and in celebration, we come together - lifting our communities and building trust in how we show up, everywhere & always. Want in? Join the #VTeamLife.\nWhat you'll be doing…\nAs a Senior Agentic AI Engineer within our team, you will be at the forefront of Verizon's transformation toward centralized intelligence and enterprise-grade AI agents that drive action. Our team manages a broad portfolio of business processes underpinned by analytics, and you will lead the evolution from reactive reporting to autonomous, intelligent execution. You will architect and deploy multi-agent systems capable of reasoning, planning, and collaborating across complex business domains-closing the loop between AI investment and measurable business outcomes.\nResponsibilities include:\nArchitecting and deploying scalable multi-agent AI systems-designing agent workflows, communication protocols (A2A), and task delegation hierarchies for fleets of cooperative AI agents.\nIntegrating LLMs with enterprise systems via APIs, function calling, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable agents that can reason, plan, use tools, and act autonomously.\nBuilding and operating enterprise Agent Factory pipelines-moving from reactive, episodic analytics to autonomous, continuously executing intelligent workflows.\nDesigning and implementing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems with ONNX-based embeddings and vector databases to power context-aware, hyper-personalized outputs at scale.\nManaging agent memory and state architecture-implementing short-term, medium-term, and long-term memory using tools like LangGraph for reliable multi-step task execution.\nOwning the full agent and model lifecycle: feature engineering, training, production deployment (Cloud Run, Vertex AI), and continuous monitoring with observability tooling.\nEstablishing security guardrails, permission boundaries, short-lived agent identity tokens, and safety constraints for production agentic systems.\nDeveloping and maintaining propensity models, classification systems, and forecasting solutions that feed downstream agent decision-making.\nTranslating complex agentic AI outputs into clear operational strategies and presenting findings to senior leadership and cross-functional business partners.\nPerforming advanced AI-augmented analytics and generative AI model validation to ensure accuracy, reliability, and measurable business performance.\nWhat we're looking for…\nYou are a senior AI engineer who has moved beyond building models into building agents-systems that reason, plan, and act. You have a strong foundation in data science and machine learning, and you've extended that into LLM orchestration, multi-agent architecture, and production agentic systems. You have the strategic vision to evaluate when an autonomous agent is the right solution, and the communication skills to explain complex, probabilistic AI behaviors clearly to executive, security, and business stakeholders.\nYou'll need to have:\nBachelor's degree or four or more years of work experience.\nFour or more years of relevant experience required, demonstrated through one or a combination of work and/or military experience, or specialized training.\nFour or more years of relevant work experience, with two or more years focused specifically on Generative AI, LLMs, and autonomous agent systems.\nFour or more years of experience developing and implementing analytical or AI solutions to complex business problems.\nHands-on proficiency with multi-agent orchestration frameworks: LangChain, LangGraph, Google Agent Development Kit (ADK), LlamaIndex, or AutoGen.\nExperience designing agent-to-agent (A2A) communication protocols, task delegation hierarchies, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for enterprise tool integration.\nExperience with agent memory and state management: short-term context, long-term storage, context window optimization, and stateful workflow execution.\nDemonstrated knowledge of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), ONNX-based embeddings, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector), and semantic search.\nDemonstrated knowledge of cloud-scale data engineering: BigQuery pipelines and GCP (Cloud Run, Vertex AI, Amazon Bedrock, or Azure equivalent).\nExperience with Python and SQL for statistical modeling, prompt engineering, token management, and large-scale data extraction.\nEven better if you have one or more of the following:\nA Master's degree in a quantitative discipline such as Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or Operations Research.\nFamiliarity with ML/LLM monitoring and observability tooling (e.g., OpenTelemetry, Arize Phoenix, Galileo) for tracking model drift, accuracy degradation, and agent output quality over time.\nExperience with generative AI-augmented analytics: AI testing frameworks, model validation pipelines, and LLMOps tooling including observability and token management.\nExperience with AI governance, security, compliance, and financial ROI modeling for AI agent deployments.\nDomain expertise in customer, churn prediction, customer lifetime value (CLV) modeling, or related commercial analytics in Consumer, Telecommunications, Financial Services, or Technology industries.\nA passion for educating and communicating AI findings with integrity to all levels-from reviewing raw outputs with colleagues to presenting AI strategy and business impact to executive stakeholders.\nHigh curiosity, an investigative mindset, and the flexibility to adapt to new challenges while staying focused on the team's deliverables.\nIf Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.\nWhere you’ll be working\nIn this hybrid role, you'll have a defined work location that includes working from home and a minimum of three days per week in the office, which will be set by your manager. Employees are responsible for maintaining compliance with hybrid work policies.Scheduled Weekly Hours\n40Equal Employment Opportunity \nVerizon is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate qualified applicants without regard to veteran status, disability or other legally protected characteristics.\nBenefits and Compensation\nOur benefits are designed to help you move forward in your career, and in areas of your life outside of Verizon.
