We are seeking a strategic and technically skilled Senior AI System Architect to bridge the gap between complex business needs and advanced AI system design. You will play a pivotal role in translating use cases into scalable, intelligent solutions—leading the design of agent-based workflows, data pipelines, and orchestration systems tailored to enterprise applications.
What you'll Do
- Translate business goals into AI architecture: Collaborate with customers and team members to understand needs, assess feasibility, and define system scope.
- Design AI agents and orchestration workflows: Create end-to-end blueprints for multi-agent systems to support real-time, multi-turn interactions across business functions.
- Define data and RAG architecture: Specify data requirements and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) configurations to ensure context-aware, grounded responses.
- Author technical specifications: Produce clear, detailed documentation for LLM-based solutions, including APIs, tools, prompt logic, and agent capabilities.
- Collaborate across teams: Work with ML engineers, product teams, and customer collaborators to align implementation with technical and business strategy.
- Ensure scalability and reliability: Design solutions that are modular, maintainable, and resilient across enterprise environments.
- Lead POCs and solution validation: Guide prototype development, performance tuning, and feedback loops for continuous improvement.
What you need to succeed
- 5+ years in software architecture, solution engineering, or enterprise AI
- Experience designing and deploying AI/LLM systems (e.g., OpenAI, Claude, RAG stacks, vector databases)
- Strong understanding of conversational AI, agents, orchestration (LangChain, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, etc.)
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure), containerization (Docker/K8s), and CI/CD
- Excellent communication and collaborator engagement skills
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with multi-agent systems, tool calling, or autonomous workflows
- Understanding of enterprise data governance, security, and compliance
- Prior work with domain-specific AI solutions (e.g., finance, legal, HR, customer service)
- Bachelor's or Master’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
