Responsibilities

  • Define and govern reference architectures and engineering patterns for AI, generative AI, and agentic solutions.
  • Lead technical design reviews and issue design pass, hold, or remediation decisions.
  • Design patterns for agent orchestration, retrieval, grounding, APIs, tools, skills, and enterprise-system integration.
  • Assess and benchmark models for quality, latency, security, economics, and operational fit.
  • Drive token optimization, model routing, and cost-per-outcome engineering.
  • Define evaluation, observability, LLMOps, model-drift, monitoring, rollback, and promotion patterns.
  • Build proofs of value and convert successful emerging-technology findings into reusable enterprise patterns.
  • Partner with architecture, security, privacy, engineering, platform, and technology-vendor teams to enforce enterprise guardrails.
  • Design human-in-the-loop, self-monitoring, automated-remediation, and higher-autonomy patterns.

Requirements

  • Strong enterprise or solution architecture experience with hands-on generative and agentic AI architecture depth.
  • Proven experience designing production-grade agentic systems with orchestration, tool and skill invocation, multi-agent patterns, and human-in-the-loop controls.
  • Strong knowledge of large language models, model selection, benchmarking, context and token management, and cost optimization.
  • Deep understanding of retrieval-augmented generation, enterprise search, embeddings, vector retrieval, grounding, and knowledge integration.
  • Experience with API, event-driven, and Model Context Protocol-style integrations and with evaluation frameworks covering quality, groundedness, task completion, latency, safety, and cost.
  • Experience with LLMOps or generative AI operations, observability, model drift, and production monitoring.
  • Strong cloud architecture experience with at least one major hyperscaler, such as Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform.
  • Understanding of security and Responsible AI architecture, including identity, access control, data boundaries, auditability, and guardrails.
  • Ability to create technical design documents, reference architectures, architecture decision records, and engineering standards.
  • Hands-on experience with enterprise AI ecosystems including Microsoft Azure AI, Azure OpenAI, Microsoft Foundry, Google Cloud Vertex AI, Gemini, Anthropic Claude, and Microsoft Copilot Studio.
  • Experience with agent orchestration frameworks such as Agent Development Kit, Semantic Kernel, or equivalent.
  • Preferred experience includes RPA, hyperautomation, prompt and context engineering, AI FinOps, automated AI testing, CI/CD for prompts and evaluations, self-healing automation, reusable component catalogues, and platform engineering.
  • Experience in fast-moving consumer goods, retail, eCommerce, or global manufacturing is preferred.

Benefits

  • Opportunity to lead the technical design authority for enterprise AI and agentic solutions at global scale.
