  • AI Platform Development: Drive the architectural vision for our internal AI development platform, ensuring high throughput, low latency, and seamless developer workflows for training, testing, and deploying models.
  • Hands-on Engineering: Write high-quality, production-ready code, build prototypes, and establish engineering best practices for AI application development.
  • Technical Leadership & Communication: Standardize architectural patterns across the organization. Mentor junior engineers and explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders clearly and effectively.

Required Qualifications & Skills

  • Experience: 10+ years of software architecture experience, with at least 3+ years of dedicated, hands-on experience building and deploying production-grade LLM applications and AI systems.
  • AI & Agentic Expertise: Deep understanding of multi-agent frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI), prompt engineering, RAG pipelines, and vector databases.
  • Protocol & API Mastery: Proven experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or designing similar context-sharing and tool-calling protocols for GenAI.
  • Technical Stack: Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or Go, along with cloud native technologies (AWS/GCP/Azure, Kubernetes, Docker) and modern AI SDKs.
  • Communication: Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with a proven ability to lead technical discussions and author comprehensive architecture RFCs.
