You’re Good At

We are seeking a Lead AI Tech Architect - AI Platforms to design and guide the implementation of intelligent, agentic AI platforms. This role bridges platform architecture and hands-on technical leadership, ideal for someone who can design end-to-end AI platform solutions while remaining close to implementation through prototyping and architectural validation. You will work across AI, data, product, and engineering teams to define and deliver scalable AI architectures that integrate large language models (LLMs), data pipelines, and enterprise systems.

AI Architecture & Solution Design

Design system architectures for AI and LLM-based solutions, balancing scalability, performance, modularity, and operational complexity.
Evaluate emerging Ai frameworks and tooling (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndez, LangGraph, Strands, Google ADK, Semantic Kernel, etc.) and recommend fit-for-purpose usage.
Design agentic AI solutions to enable intelligent workflow automation, including task decomposition, memory usage, and orchestration patterns.
Define AI integration patterns such as RAG for context management, model orchestration, prompt workflows, and enterprise system connectivity.
Contribute to architectural standards and design principles for model lifecycle management, data lineage, and responsible AI practices.
Support architecture decisions for hybrid pipelines (batch training, real-time inference) with consideration for cost, latency, and operational risk.

Prototyping & Validation

Develop proof-of-concepts and architectural prototypes to validate AI platform designs, RAG flows, and agent orchestration patterns.
Support implementation of agentic workflows using modern orchestration and automation platforms in collaboration with engineering teams.

Implementation Management and Support

Support teams and clients as AI platforms transition from prototype to production environments.
Contribute to system performance, observability, and governance approaches as solutions scale.
Help define development standards for versioning, testing, deployment, and monitoring of AI services and models (LLMOps).

Communication and Collaboration

Translate complex AI platform concepts into clear
