This role connects business needs, product intent, and engineering execution: you will understand the problem to solve, shape viable options, make and communicate tradeoffs, be hands on keyboard coding, manage a team of engineers, and guide squads toward secure, observable, reusable, and supportable outcomes.\nYou will architect across several squads rather than serving as the architect for a single use case. You will partner with Product, Program, Tech Leads, engineers, security, and business stakeholders to ensure solution architectures align with the platform standards and broader engineering strategy.\nWhat You'll Do\nPartner with team leadership and business stakeholders to understand goals, workflows, users, constraints, and success measures.\n\nHelp determine whether an agentic solution is appropriate, or whether a deterministic workflow, existing capability, or no-AI solution is better.\n\nBe able to challenge the status quo and look for simplicity, scalability, and staged solutions that deliver incremental value when needed.\n\nTranslate business needs into technical requirements, scope boundaries, delivery roadmaps, architectural options, measurable outcomes, and implementation plans.\n\nExplain technical implications and communicate tradeoffs across scope, cost, quality, latency, security, risk, and delivery speed.\n\nOwn solution architecture for a portfolio of use cases and agentic applications delivered by several squads within a larger delivery organization.\n\nMap end-to-end workflows, trigger events, human approvals, system interactions, failure paths, and operational handoffs.\n\nDefine agent package structure, task graphs, orchestration patterns, and the division of responsibility between agents, deterministic code, tools, and platform services.\nIdentify required systems, data sources, outputs, APIs, integrations, tools, and MCP capabilities.\n\nWork with partners to ensure dependencies are accounted for and managed across the portfolio of solutions in the role’s purview.\n\nProduce architecture diagrams, decision records, implementation guidance, acceptance criteria, and nonfunctional requirements.\n\nManage cross-squad dependencies, technical debt, duplicate capabilities, and opportunities for reusable patterns, templates, connectors, and reference implementations.\n\nCollaborate with delivery teams to translate architecture into work packages, estimates, quality criteria, and delivery plans.\n\nBe hands on keyboard to guide and work with the teams and understand solutions to a granular level.\n\nApply architecture standards, approval controls, guardrails, and governance requirements throughout delivery.\n\nWork with leadership to maintain solution architecture across teams for technical direction, engineering standards, capacity, and risk posture.\n\nSupport developer onboarding and architecture education across squads.\n\nCoordinate decisions and dependencies across product, engineering, security, data, integrations, and business teams.\n\nCommunicate architecture status, risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs to technical and executive audiences.\n\nDirectly manage engineers executing across multiple small, focused product squads.\n\nWhat You'll Bring\nRequired experience\nAWS and cloud-hosted foundation models or agent platforms, such as Amazon Bedrock or AgentCore, or equivalent technologies.\n\nPython, TypeScript/JavaScript, REST or GraphQL APIs, event-driven systems, serverless or containerized workloads, and infrastructure as code.\n\nSignificant experience in software architecture, solutions architecture, technical leadership, or a similar role designing and delivering enterprise systems.\n\nExperience architecting and shipping production AI, generative AI, agentic, conversational, or intelligent-automation solutions.\n\nStrong understanding of agentic patterns, including orchestration, tool use, RAG, model selection, prompt and policy controls, human-in-the-loop approval, state and memory, evaluation, and fallback behavior.\n\nExperience integrating enterprise systems through APIs, events, connectors, workflow engines, or MCP-style tool patterns.\n\nStrong understanding of identity, authorization, data access, privacy, auditability, and secure-by-default design.\n\nDemonstrated ability to influence multiple teams or squads without relying solely on formal authority.\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain complex architecture and tradeoffs to business stakeholders and executives.\n\nExperience creating architecture diagrams, ADRs, technical requirements, nonfunctional requirements, and implementation guidance.\n\nPreferred experience\nExperience with enterprise SaaS and business systems such as Salesforce, ServiceNow, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, or similar platforms.\n\nEstablishing reusable architecture standards, reference architectures, developer patterns, or platform governance.\n\nLeading architecture reviews involving security, compliance, privacy, or production risk.\n\nRelevant cloud, security, AI, or architecture certifications. Certifications are helpful but are not a substitute for demonstrated production experience.\n\nExperience coordinating and managing the work of engineers against a timeline.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nMultiple squads can move independently while following coherent architecture patterns and shared platform standards.\n\nBusiness stakeholders understand solution options, key tradeoffs, and expected outcomes before significant implementation investment.\n\nEach solution has clear boundaries, documented decisions, nonfunctional requirements, security controls, operational ownership, and a credible path to production.\n\nReusable capabilities are adopted across squads instead of repeatedly rebuilt as bespoke solutions where possible.\n\nRisks, dependencies, exceptions, and technical debt are visible early and actively managed.\n\nSolutions deliver measurable business value while meeting expectations for quality, safety, reliability, observability, and cost.\n\nSquad leaders share a clear view of how use-case architecture supports platform engineering goals.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6228,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Services","Information Technology","Property & Casualty Insurance","AI Consulting & Integration"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T15:20:50Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 23 · green card filings: 4","filings_12m":23,"filings_prev_12m":21,"green_card_filings_12m":4,"median_offered_wage_usd":151759,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":3}],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":63,"reasons":["conf:2","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-09T06:01:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":180000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ahead-agentic-solutions-architect","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ahead-agentic-solutions-architect.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-10T02:12:56Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3974,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":1026,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3614},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3614"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fahead-agentic-solutions-architect"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fahead-agentic-solutions-architect"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fahead-agentic-solutions-architect"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ahead-agentic-solutions-architect\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fahead-agentic-solutions-architect"}]}
