Designs reusable architectures and engineering patterns so teams can build, integrate, evaluate, secure, and operationalize agents at scale, independent of the specific framework, model, or runtime chosen. Hands-on, working across multiple initiatives to turn business and technical requirements into production-ready solutions.\nKey Responsibilities\nDefine reference architectures and reusable design patterns for agent development, orchestration, tool calling, context management, multi-agent interaction, and human-in-the-loop controls. \nSet integration patterns for coding agents, agent frameworks, MCP servers, enterprise APIs, and security tools, so new agents onboard without custom one-off plumbing. \nArchitect isolated, ephemeral execution environments with identity and access controls, secrets management, and full auditability. \nEstablish engineering standards for the agent lifecycle: CI/CD, versioning, behavioral testing, agent evaluations, release management, and runtime operations. \nDefine approaches for observability, failure handling, and production readiness across agent workloads. \nGuide engineering teams, review solution designs, evaluate technology choices, and resolve complex architectural challenges across initiatives. \nValidate architectural decisions through prototypes and proofs of concept alongside platform engineers and delivery teams. \nDocument patterns and standards so they are reused across projects and teams, not rebuilt each time. \nCore Skills Required\nHands-on experience designing and building LLM-based applications, AI agents, or agentic workflows. \nStrong understanding of agent frameworks, coding agents, tool integration, MCP, and orchestration patterns. \nCloud-native architecture experience: APIs, containers, Kubernetes, and distributed systems. \nApplication security: IAM, secrets management, secure SDLC, and software supply-chain security. \nCI/CD, automated testing, observability, and production engineering practices. \nStrong programming skills in Python, Java, or Go, sufficient to build working prototypes. \nArchitectural decision-making and clear technical communication, with the ability to influence multiple teams without direct authority. \nFlexibility to work across varied and evolving tech stacks, not tied to one runtime, framework, or model provider. \nQualifications\n10+ years in software engineering, solution architecture, or distributed systems, including 2+ years building LLM or agent-based systems. \nExperience in secure/regulated enterprise environments preferred. \nNice to have: experience with enterprise coding-agent platforms (e.g., Devin, GitHub Copilot agents, Claude Code) or similar AI-assisted engineering tools. \nNice to have: experience building secure, ephemeral execution environments for autonomous or semi-autonomous agents. \nNice to have: familiarity with agent evaluation frameworks, behavioral testing, and automated remediation workflows. \nNice to have: multi-cloud experience and experience integrating different AI models and runtimes. \nWhat’s In It For You?\nOur Mission: \nAdvancing Essential Intelligence.\nOur People:\nWe're more than 35,000 strong worldwide-so we're able to understand nuances while having a broad perspective.
