Architect AI Engineering
Job Summary
We are an IT Solutions Integrator/Consulting Firm helping our clients hire the right professional for an exciting long-term project. Here are a few details.
Experience:8 Years
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Architect to lead the design hardening and scaling of agentic AI systems taking prototype-stage LLM applications and evolving them into production-grade enterprise-ready platforms. This role sits at the intersection of AI engineering and software architecture requiring hands-on depth in agentic frameworks alongside strong fundamentals in backend systems design and cloud deployment.
Key Responsibilities
Agentic AI Development
- Design and build agentic workflows using frameworks such as LangGraph and tools like Claude Code to orchestrate multi-step tool-using AI agents
- Own prompt engineering strategy designing testing and iterating on prompts for reliability consistency and cost efficiency
- Evaluate and integrate LLM capabilities into broader application architectures
Prototype-to-Production Engineering
- Take early-stage AI prototypes and refactor them into robust maintainable production-grade systems
- Identify and remediate technical debt brittle logic and scalability bottlenecks common in fast-built AI proofs-of-concept
- Establish engineering rigor (testing observability error handling versioning) around previously ad hoc AI systems
Backend Engineering
- Architect and develop backend services in Python using FastAPI and async programming patterns
- Optimize application performance latency and throughput for AI-driven workloads
- Design clean well-documented APIs that support both internal and external consumption
Software Architecture & Design
- Apply sound software architecture principles and design patterns to ensure systems are modular scalable and maintainable
- Make and document key architectural decisions (system design data flow integration patterns trade-offs)
- Set technical standards and provide architectural guidance to engineering teams
Cloud & Infrastructure
- Design and deploy solutions on AWS and/or Azure leveraging cloud-native services for compute storage and orchestration
- Ensure systems are built with security cost-efficiency and scalability in mind from a cloud architecture standpoint
Required Skills & Experience
Area | Expectation |
Agentic AI Frameworks | Hands-on experience with LangGraph Claude Code or comparable agent orchestration tools |
Prompt Engineering | Demonstrated experience designing and refining LLM prompts for production use cases |
Python Engineering | Strong proficiency in Python FastAPI async/await patterns and performance optimization |
Software Architecture | Solid grounding in design patterns system design and architecture for production systems |
Cloud Platforms | Working experience with AWS and/or Azure (compute storage deployment pipelines) |
Systems Thinking | Proven ability to take a prototype and scale it into a reliable production-ready system |
Ideal Candidate Profile
- 8 years of overall software engineering experience with a meaningful portion in AI/LLM-based systems
- Comfortable operating as an individual architect/senior IC able to both write code and make architectural calls
- Experience working in fast-moving ambiguous environments where systems evolve from PoC to production under time pressure
- Strong communication skills to justify architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
