Agentic AI Developer Lead: Customer Solutions & AI Integration Senior Leadership, Customer Facing, Full-Time

Job Description

Phison Electronics is a global leader in NAND flash controllers and storage solutions, powering more than one in every five SSDs shipped worldwide. Phison has grown into a multi-billion-dollar company with over 4,500 employees – 70% of which are dedicated to R&D – and more than 2,000 patents. The company’s innovations include aiDAPTIV+, an award-winning AI solution for affordable LLM training and inferencing on-premises, and Pascari, a portfolio of ultra-high-performance enterprise SSDs purpose-built for data-intensive workloads across AI, cloud, and hyperscale data centers.

Phison’s AI Deployment and Storage Platform gives customers a programmable, intelligent storage infrastructure capable of running custom AI workloads at the storage layer. The platform uses a combination of GPU and Computational Storage, along with our aiDAPTIV Flash offload technology to create a differentiated solution. We are now looking for a Agentic AI Developer Lead to be the technical face of that platform for our customers. As a Lead, you will build agentic solutions on top of the platform, integrating it into customer workflows, and growing the team as our customer base expands.

Experience

7+ years development, with experience leading teams

Leadership

Team-building role – growing a new agentic software team

Understanding of what is needed to create robust and secure market-ready solutions.

Location

Hybrid, San Jose CA (Office presence is typically Monday and Friday; remote the rest of the week. We’re open to accommodating individual schedules where the work allows.)

We don’t expect any candidate to check every box. If this role excites you and you meet many (but not all) of the qualifications, we encourage you to apply. Also, we really do have SSD in orbit, on the Lunar surface and on Mars. We especially encourage applications from candidates who have done the work but may not yet have had the title, headcount, or formal authority to show for it.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Engage directly with customers to understand their AI workload requirements and design agentic solutions built on Phison’s storage and AI deployment platform.
  • Architect and build multi-agent systems and LLM-powered workflows that integrate customer business processes with Phison’s platform APIs and storage capabilities.
  • Own the customer integration experience end-to-end — from initial technical discovery through solution delivery, iteration, and ongoing support.
  • Develop reusable agentic frameworks, integration templates, and reference architectures that accelerate onboarding for future customers.
  • Hire, mentor, and lead a growing team of agentic AI developers, establishing engineering standards and delivery practices from the ground up.
  • Act as a technical bridge between customers and Phison’s internal platform engineering team, feeding real-world requirements back into the product roadmap.

 

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

  • 7+ years of software development experience with a strong focus on AI/LLM-powered application development in the last 2 years, and experience leading or growing a technical team, whether through a formal management title or by driving cross-functional delivery, mentoring, or project leadership.
  • Hands-on expertise building agentic AI systems using frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or equivalent.
  • Proven experience integrating LLM workflows with external systems via APIs, storage platforms, databases, and event-driven pipelines.
  • Experience working directly with customers or external stakeholders, whether in a formal solutions engineering role or through hands-on delivery ownership, technical discovery, and presenting architectures.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead or grow a small team, with the drive and structure to build a new practice from scratch.
  • Solid Python skills and familiarity with REST/gRPC APIs, containerized deployments, and cloud or on-premise Linux environments.

 

DESIRABLE

Any of the following will strengthen your application:

  • Experience with LLM optimization techniques — quantization, inference serving, or KV cache strategies.
  • Familiarity with storage systems, NVMe, or data-intensive infrastructure.
  • Background in RAG pipeline design, vector databases, or knowledge graph integration.
  • Prior experience in a startup or greenfield team-building environment.

 

WHY PHISON

  • As a leader at Phison, you will be supported by executive partnership and cross-functional collaboration. You won’t be operating alone.
  • We invest in our leaders through mentorship, peer collaboration, and clear decision-making frameworks.
  • We also value engineers who are comfortable working at the edge of what’s known, asking questions, testing hypotheses, and learning quickly in emerging technical spaces.
