Position Overview

This role designs and orchestrates multi-agent workflows and stateful AI systems, integrates foundation models into secure production environments, and architects AI-native data models that pair relational and vector databases for retrieval-augmented generation. Beyond hands-on architecture, the role provides technical leadership across engineering teams — mentoring engineers, establishing governance and standards for secure, cloud-native development, and driving the responsible adoption of AI-assisted engineering tools.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Architecture & AI Integration

  • Design and orchestrate multi-agent workflows and stateful AI systems using modern frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, AutoGen, or CrewAI.
  • Integrate foundation models (e.g., Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, Google Gemini) via secure API gateways, managing token limits, costs, and rate-limiting.
  • Architect data models optimized for AI-native structures, integrating relational databases with vector databases for semantic search and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
  • Implement robust white-box testing and continuous evaluation metrics to monitor AI outputs for factual correctness, hallucinations, and safety compliance.
  • Champion secure, reliable, and scalable software solutions through architectural leadership, risk management, and continuous improvement of engineering practices.

Technical Leadership & Workflow Optimization

  • Mentor and scale an engineering team, establishing engineering standards, best practices, and architectural governance for secure coding, continuous integration, and cloud-native deployment.
  • Drive AI-assisted engineering velocity by integrating next-gen development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf) into the team's daily Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
  • Establish governance policies and coach developers on the responsible use of AI, focusing on input data sensitivity, license compliance, and security guardrails.
  • Evaluate existing systems, services, APIs, and data models to identify opportunities for modernization, scalability, and performance improvements.

Influence Across Teams & Developer Experience

  • Facilitate technical leadership forums with Product Owners, Technical Leads, Architects, and Engineering Managers.
  • Drive conversations around architecture, engineering health, technical debt, AI adoption, and continuous improvement.
  • Foster collaborative decision-making through architecture reviews, RFCs, and technical discussions.
  • Promote self-service engineering capabilities and platform enablement.
  • Drive automation initiatives that improve productivity and software quality.

Team Interaction & Work Environment

  • Significant, ongoing interaction with the Scrum team, including all ceremonies (Daily Standups, Sprint Planning, Grooming, Retro, Demo) and PR reviews.
