Curious about the role? What your typical day would look like?

We are seeking a highly technical, visionary, and hands-on Architect / Senior Architect to champion our full-stack AI engineering and cognitive solution architectures. In this leadership role, you will sit at the intersection of advanced generative AI application engineering, scalable distributed system design, and enterprise-grade backend infrastructure.

You will be responsible for designing and deploying end-to-end Agentic AI systems, bringing both deep technical execution, strong architectural design patterns, and enterprise-level solutioning to our clients. If you are passionate about moving beyond simple wrappers to engineer robust, enterprise-grade cognitive architectures, this role is for you.

As part of this role, you will:

? Architect Agentic Systems: Design, build, and deploy autonomous, end-to-end Agentic AI systems, multi-agent orchestrations, and production-grade cognitive pipelines capable of solving complex corporate workflows.

? Design Scalable Backend Solutions: Architect, design, and develop scalable backend applications and microservices-based architectures utilizing Python (or equivalent core backend technologies).

? Implement Enterprise Design Patterns: Apply robust system design principles, microservices architectures, and software engineering design patterns to ensure high performance, security, and long-term maintainability.

? Drive Cloud & Hyperscaler Engineering: Map out cloud architecture blueprints and build cloud-native applications tailored for scalability and low latency across modern cloud platforms (Azure, GCP, or AWS).

? Deliver Strategic Solutioning: Partner closely with senior leadership, product teams, data engineers, and frontend developers to translate intricate business challenges into scalable, production-ready AI blueprints.

? Mentor and Build Elite Teams: Conduct rigorous code and design reviews to ensure quality engineering, while providing technical direction, guidance, and mentorship to engineering teams.
