Agentic AI Architect

Role & Responsibilities Overview:Platform & Integration Design

• Define integration architecture across - Lakehouse, ODS, document systems; Underwriting systems and third-party APIs
• Design configurable, metadata-driven framework for multi-LOB onboarding
• Define API/microservices patterns (Python/.NET hybrid)

Technical Development, Execution

• Perform hands on development and lead technical execution across AI, data, and platform teams
• Guide engineers (AI, data, full-stack) and ensure alignment with architecture
• Drive technical decisions and stakeholder communication

Governance, Safety & ModelOps

• Define AI safety and guardrails (PII, hallucination control, policy constraints)
• Establish ModelOps and PromptOps frameworks
• Ensure explainability, auditability, and traceability of AI outputs

Architecture & Technical Leadership

• Define end-to-end architecture for agentic AI-enabled platform across data, AI, orchestration, and integration layers
• Design and govern agentic orchestration framework for multi-step workflows
• Establish architecture patterns for - RAG and grounding, Vector search and retrieval, MCP tool access layer, prompt management and evaluation

AI & GenAI Enablement

• Define where and how to use - GenAI vs deterministic logic, agentic workflows vs pipeline workflows
• Establish multimodal integration approach combining structured, unstructured, and external data
• Design prompt lifecycle, evaluation, and optimization strategy

Candidate Profile:

• Experience: 10–15+ years in software/data/AI engineering with 4–6+ years in AI/ML/GenAI architecture
