Principal Architect ( Agentic AI Platform & Systems )

We are building a shared Agentic AI Platorm that enables teams across the enterprise to design deploy and operate AI-powered agents and workflows safely consistently and at scale.

This role is for a builderarchitect someone with strong software and systems foundations who can operate hands-on while also shaping architectural direction across teams. You will design and build core agentic AI platform capabilities while actively ensuring teams adopt shared primitives rather than creating fragmented one-off solutions.

The role combines hands-on engineering platorm architecture and cross-enterprise influence with a strong emphasis on reuse cohesion and long-term sustainability.

You will be #LI-hybrid based in Hyderabad and reporting to Director Engineering

What youll do here:

• Design and build foundational platform capabilities for agentic AI systems including orchestration lifecycle management memory patterns runtime policy and human-in-the-loop controls.
• Establish agent discovery registration and reuse mechanisms (e.g. registries marketplaces protocol integration) as shared platform capabilities.
• You will define and evolve durable architectural patterns reference architectures and golden paths for multi-agent coordination bounded autonomy failure handling and system evolution.
• Design secure-by-default architectures that embed governance policy enforcement auditability and access control into agentic systems and AI workflows.
• You will build reusable AI workflow primitives that teams can adopt consistently across the enterprise.
• Partner with enterprise teams (e.g. Cloud Security ITSM etc.) to integrate AI workflows into existing enterprise systems and platforms.
• Maintain a birds-eye view of Agentic AI and AI Workflow initiatives across the enterprise identifying the opportunities to reduce fragmentation and promote convergence.
• Mentor engineers and influence technical direction through hands-on contribution design leadership and clear reasoning.

Qualifications :

Must have skills:

• 8 years of experience in designing building and operating complex cloud-native software systems in production environments with depth in platform infrastructure or distributed systems.
• Strong first-principles and systems thinking with the ability to reason about tradeoffs across scalability reliability security cost and developer experience.
• Experience designing or operating systems that incorporate LLMs or AI models as core components including managing model interaction control flow and failure modes.
• Proficiency in Python (and/or Java or Scala) for building backend services frameworks or SDKs.
• Experience with public cloud platforms (AWS preferred) including compute networking storage and security primitives.
• Demonstrated experience owning and evolving shared platform architectures over time including setting boundaries managing tradeoffs and adapting designs as scale and requirements change.
• Proven ability to drive architectural alignment across teams through technical influence design reviews reference architectures and hands-on collaboration rather than formal authority.

Nice to have skills:

• Exposure to agent frameworks multi-agent systems or AI orchestration tools.
• Experience designing systems with explicit state management lifecycle control and correctness guarantees across asynchronous and long-running workflows.
• Experience working with orchestration systems workflow engines or event-driven architectures.
• Experience with authentication authorization and delegated access patterns including OAuth 2.0 and related standards as applied to service-to-service and user-mediated workflows.
• Experience building internal developer platforms shared services or reusable runtime frameworks.
• Staying hands-on with emerging AI capabilities and tools to build intuition that informs system and platform design decisions.

Who Thrives in This Role:

• You think beyond individual teams and care deeply about ecosystem health.
• You enjoy influencing architecture across organizational boundaries.
• You are comfortable operating in ambiguity and designing systems that must evolve.
• You value reuse cohesion and long-term sustainability over short-term speed.
