The Principal AI Platform Infrastructure Architect owns the enterprise architecture strategy for the firm’s agentic infrastructure domain, including agent orchestration, identity, gateway and policy services, and model-hosting and agent-runtime environments. This individual-contributor role sets the technical direction for architects and engineers while remaining hands-on in prototyping and validating patterns before enterprise adoption.

• Define and maintain the enterprise architecture roadmap, and publish reference architectures and blueprints for agent orchestration, identity, gateway and policy services, and model-hosting and agent-runtime environments.

• Lead agentic infrastructure decisions across programs, products, and platforms, advising senior technology and business leaders and resolving escalations involving enterprise risk, cost, or cross-domain tradeoffs.

• Establish architecture standards and review criteria for the security, resilience, observability, performance, and cost management of agentic infrastructure, aligned with enterprise technology, risk, and financial objectives.

• Lead the architecture of complex, multi-domain agentic initiatives, documenting technical decisions, dependencies, tradeoffs, and their effects on business, risk, and cost outcomes.

• Build working prototypes and reference implementations to validate emerging agentic infrastructure patterns, document their constraints, and establish the criteria delivery teams must meet for production use.

• Define operational readiness and lifecycle requirements for shared agentic infrastructure patterns, including support ownership, resilience, observability, versioning, compatibility, and deprecation.

• Guide platform, security, and infrastructure engineering teams in adopting shared agentic infrastructure patterns and modules that reduce duplicated engineering and accelerate delivery.

• Mentor architects and infrastructure engineers through architecture reviews, technical guidance, and reusable examples appropriate to their delivery context.

• Evaluate emerging agentic AI and generative AI infrastructure technologies, and publish recommendations based on technical validation, security and operational risk, cost, integration complexity, and long-term maintainability.

• Experience owning architecture decisions for complex infrastructure initiatives spanning multiple technical domains, delivery teams, or business areas at enterprise or portfolio scale.

• Hands-on experience designing or validating infrastructure for agentic artificial intelligence platforms, with depth in several of the following areas: agent orchestration, workload identity, gateways, policy enforcement, model hosting, or agent-runtime environments.

• Broad infrastructure architecture experience with technical depth in one or more domains such as cloud platforms, security and identity, networking, compute, or platform engineering.

• Experience building prototypes or reference implementations and translating validated findings into reference architectures, reusable patterns, and production-readiness criteria.

• Ability to apply continuous integration and continuous delivery, infrastructure as code, configuration management, automated testing, and observability practices to infrastructure architecture and reference implementations.

• Ability to explain architecture decisions, alternatives, dependencies, and tradeoffs to engineering teams, architects, senior leaders, and executives; align stakeholders across organizational boundaries; and mentor senior technical practitioners.

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline or equivalent experience.
