Agentic AI Architect

We are seeking an experienced Agentic AI Architect to define the enterprise architecture for reusable AI products and agentic platforms. This role owns the technical direction for secure, scalable, and governable solutions built with the same core technology stack used by the Agentic AI engineering team. The Architect will convert business priorities into reference architectures, reusable patterns, and delivery standards that multiple product teams can adopt., · Enterprise AI architecture: Define the target architecture, reference patterns, and technology standards for AI-enabled products, services, and automation solutions across the enterprise.

· Reusable agent platform: Create reusable components for agent orchestration, tool integration, state management, prompts, security, evaluation, observability, and human approval so teams do not rebuild common capabilities.

· Agentic solution design: Architect GenAI and agentic AI applications with LangChain and LangGraph, integrating Azure OpenAI and leading LLM models into enterprise workflows.

· RAG and knowledge architecture: Define ingestion, grounding, retrieval, metadata, access-control, and evaluation patterns for RAG solutions using PostgreSQL and PgVector.

· Application and integration architecture: Establish Python, FastAPI, REST API, and microservice patterns for reliable integration with enterprise systems, data sources, tools, and business processes.

· Cloud and delivery architecture: Define deployment patterns and environment standards for AKS, ACA, and SWA, with automated delivery through GitHub Actions and ArgoCD.

· Nonfunctional architecture: Set requirements and design decisions for security, privacy, scalability, resilience, latency, cost, maintainability, and operational support.

· Design authority: Lead architecture reviews, document trade-offs and decisions, resolve cross-system dependencies, and ensure implementations remain aligned with approved enterprise patterns.

· Technical leadership: Guide and mentor engineering and QE teams, support complex troubleshooting, and maintain a practical connection between architecture and implementation.

· Stakeholder partnership: Partner with product leaders, business stakeholders, security, compliance, data teams, and delivery leadership to prioritize use cases and maintain an executable AI roadmap.

Architecture Leadership and Governance

· Reference architectures: Define repeatable patterns for single-agent, multi-step, tool-using, and human-in-the-loop workflows, including clear boundaries between deterministic services and model-driven decisions.

· Guardrails and controls: Establish standards for prompt and tool safety, access control, data protection, auditability, responsible AI, and escalation of high-impact actions.

· Lifecycle management: Define how AI solutions are designed, reviewed, tested, deployed, monitored, versioned, improved, and retired across environments.

· Evaluation and quality gates: Set measurable acceptance criteria for retrieval quality, answer quality, tool execution, safety, latency, cost, reliability, and regression testing before release.

· Architecture assets: Maintain reference diagrams, decision records, interface contracts, reusable templates, implementation guidance, and approved technology patterns for delivery teams.

· Executive and client guidance: Explain architectural options, risks, dependencies, investment choices, and adoption roadmaps clearly to senior technical and business stakeholders.
