Who You'll Work With
We are seeking a Principal AI Platforms Architect to design, guide, and evolve the architecture of next-generation intelligent agentic systems. This role bridges high-level system design with hands-on AI engineering - ideal for someone who can envision complex AI-enabled ecosystems while still being comfortable prototyping or coding to validate ideas. You'll work across AI, data, product, and engineering teams to define scalable architectures for AI-driven applications, enabling the seamless integration of large language models (LLMs), data pipelines, and enterprise systems.
AI Architecture & Solution DesignDefine system architectures for AI and LLM-based solutions, ensuring scalability, low-latency inference, and modularity.Design Agentic AI solutions to optimize business workflow automation, including the use of memory, agentic reflection, and task planning.Design AI integration patterns, such as RAG, for model orchestration, context management, prompt orchestration, and external system connectivity.Establish architectural blueprints, design principles, and governance frameworks for model versioning, data lineage and responsible AI solutions across the organization.Architect polyglot model runtimes and hybrid pipelines (batch training + streaming inference) with attention to cost, latency, and risk.
Prototyping & ValidationDevelop minimal viable prototypes or proof-of-concepts to test model architectures, RAG flows, and agent orchestration.Evaluate emerging AI frameworks and tools (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, LangGraph, Strands, Google ADK, Semantic Kernel) for suitability and integration.Develop solutions using the latest agentic orchestration engines, such as n8n, Retool, OpenAI Agentkit, Microsoft Copilot Studio, and AWS Flows.
Implementation management and supportSupport restructuring IT processes and organization to adopt new systems.Oversee system performance, observability, and governance as solutions transition from prototype to production using tools such as LangSmith, Prometheus, Grafana, Evidently, WhyLogs, and OpenTelemetry.Optimize the application development processes - define standards for versioning, testing, and monitoring of models and AI services (LLMOps).
