## Description

XMS Solutions is seeking an experienced Agentic AI Architect to lead the architecture and technical direction of enterprise AI solutions. This is a senior, hands-on strategic role for an architect who can assess complex mission and business needs, make sound technology decisions, and guide solutions from initial concept through secure, reliable production deployment.

The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in enterprise solution architecture along with demonstrated experience designing generative AI and agent-based systems. You will partner with technical leadership, engineering teams, and stakeholders to develop practical AI capabilities that integrate with existing systems and deliver measurable value.

Key Responsibilities

 * Lead the end-to-end architecture of enterprise agentic AI solutions, including autonomous and human-in-the-loop workflows, AI assistants, bots, and digital avatars where appropriate.

 * Translate complex organizational requirements into scalable solution designs, technical roadmaps, architecture decisions, and implementation standards.

 * Assess and select LLMs, orchestration frameworks, retrieval patterns, tools, and infrastructure based on mission fit, performance, cost, risk, and maintainability.

 * Design secure integrations with enterprise applications, APIs, identity systems, data sources, and knowledge repositories.

 * Architect and oversee the integration and deployment of AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants within Microsoft Teams and other enterprise applications, ensuring secure, scalable, and reliable operation.

 * Direct proof-of-concept efforts, establish success criteria, and determine readiness for production through testing, evaluation, and measurable outcomes.

 * Provide technical leadership and architecture reviews for engineering teams; mentor developers and influence stakeholders without relying solely on formal authority.

 * Define approaches for observability, evaluation, guardrails, access controls, resiliency, and responsible AI governance across the solution lifecycle.

 * Communicate architectural tradeoffs, risks, dependencies, and recommendations clearly to both technical and nontechnical decisionmakers.
