Key Responsibilities
AI Architecture & Strategy
Define and maintain architecture for GenAI, LLMs, RAG pipelines, and autonomous agent systems.
Design and implement agent orchestration workflows and agentic frameworks.
Evaluate and select AI/Agentic tools, frameworks, and platforms (e.g., LangChain, Semantic Kernel, Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, LangGraph, CrewAI).
Align architectural decisions with enterprise performance metrics including latency, security, cost, and explainability.
Assess emerging AI technologies and recommend adoption where appropriate.
Design scalable, modular, and observable architectures aligned with business and data strategy.
Serve as a key stakeholder in shaping the enterprise AI roadmap.
Solution Design
Collaborate with data architects, scientists, enterprise architecture, security, AI product managers, and business stakeholders.
Guide proof-of-concept development and prototype evaluations to validate architecture decisions.
Provide architecture reviews, mentorship, and feedback to AI engineering teams.
Lead structured build-vs-buy evaluations and influence platform roadmap decisions.
Governance & Compliance
Embed responsible AI principles, privacy, and governance frameworks into AI design.
Ensure AI solutions comply with enterprise standards, security policies, and regulatory requirements.
Partner with governance, security, and compliance teams to implement transparency, monitoring, and auditability.

BA/BS degree and 10+ years of relevant architecture experience, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
4+ years of experience in ML or AI systems design and architecture.
Proven expertise designing and deploying enterprise-grade GenAI, RAG models, agentic AI, and ML pipelines.
Working knowledge of interoperability protocols (e.g., Model Context Protocol, Agent-to-Agent communication).
Hands-on experience with agentic frameworks (LangChain, Azure AI Agent Services, n8n, Autogen, etc.).
Familiarity with AI Gateway implementation for enforcing guardrails, monitoring, and centralized model access.
3+ years of experience building AI solutions in AWS (or equivalent cloud).
Ability to build AI POCs and design for enterprise-scale production.
Leadership & Collaboration
Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to influence executive leadership.
Proven track record leading cross-functional teams, including engineers and product managers.
Demonstrated ability to stay on top of emerging AI trends and best practices.
Preferred Qualifications
