Associate Distinguished Engineer (Agentic AI Architect)

👋🏼We're Nagarro.

We are a Digital Product Engineering company that is scaling in a big way! We build products, services, and experiences that inspire, excite, and delight. We work at a scale — across all devices and digital mediums, and our people exist everywhere in the world (18500+ experts across 40 countries, to be exact). Our work culture is dynamic and non-hierarchical. We are looking for great new colleagues. That is where you come in!
