This architect will define and drive the technical architecture for the company's enterprise agentic AI platform. The ideal candidate has extensive software architecture experience and has successfully deployed production-grade agentic AI or LLM-powered systems-not just prototypes. This role requires someone who can design complex multi-agent systems, evaluate architectural tradeoffs, and remain hands-on enough to build proof-of-concept solutions. Required: * 14+ years of software architecture or senior engineering experience. * At least three years of experience designing AI/ML platform systems. * Hands-on experience with LLM orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, or similar technologies. * Proven experience building and deploying agentic AI systems or LLM-powered applications at production scale. * Strong knowledge of multi-agent orchestration and agent tool-use patterns. * Experience designing RAG pipelines and prompt-engineering solutions. * Strong understanding of agent reliability, observability, evaluation, security, and guardrails. * Deep expertise in distributed systems, microservices architecture, and event-driven design. * Strong API design experience using REST and/or gRPC. * Advanced programming skills in Python. * Proficiency in at least one additional language: Java, Go, or TypeScript. * Ability to evaluate technical tradeoffs and clearly communicate architectural decisions. * Experience leading technical reviews and mentoring engineering teams. Preferred: * Kubernetes and container-orchestration experience. * Experience with AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. * Knowledge of MLOps and LLMOps tools and practices. * Experience with vector databases such as Pinecone, Weaviate, or pgvector. * Knowledge of graph databases or knowledge graphs. * Experience designing multi-agent system patterns. * Familiarity with agent evaluation and benchmarking frameworks. ## Description * Define and evolve the architecture of American Airlines' Agentic System Layer. * Design multi-agent orchestration systems, tool-use frameworks, and LLM integration pipelines. * Establish enterprise patterns for agent reliability, observability, security, guardrails, and graceful degradation. * Design scalable distributed systems using microservices and event-driven architecture. * Define REST and gRPC API contracts, data-flow patterns, and integration standards across the AI platform. * Build and improve RAG pipelines, prompt-management solutions, tool-calling patterns, and LLM-routing strategies. * Evaluate and integrate agentic AI frameworks such as LangGraph, LangChain, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, and AutoGen. * Lead technical design reviews and create Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). * Collaborate with software engineers, ML engineers, and architects to deliver scalable, secure, and maintainable platform components. * Develop code and proof-of-concept solutions to validate architectural decisions. * Support platform development, feature delivery, and production operations. * Participate in Agile ceremonies, architecture discussions, and code reviews. * Mentor engineers on best practices for developing production-grade AI systems ## Related Videos - [Boosting OpenSearch Performance: gRPC Search in Action](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1935-boosting-opensearch-performance-grpc-search-in-action) - [API Design - Getting Started](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/33-api-design-getting-started) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Building a Multi-Agent Orchestration Engine That Actually Follows the Rules](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100159-building-a-multi-agent-orchestration-engine-that-actually-follows-the-rules) - [Designing gRPC APIs - The things they don't tell you](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/689-designing-grpc-apis-the-things-they-don-t-tell-you) - [Microservices: how to get started with Spring Boot and Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/242-microservices-how-to-get-started-with-spring-boot-and-kubernetes) ## Related Articles - [What is Agentic Programming and Why Should Developers Care?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/625-what-is-agentic-programming-and-why-should-developers-care) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [From Prototype to Production: Build AI Agents with This Free 4-Course Learning Path](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/655-from-prototype-to-production-build-ai-agents-with-this-free-4-course-learning-path) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift)
