Architect, Agentic Interfaces

Own the technical design of the agent-native layer end to end and hold it coherent across the teams building into it. This is a hands-on architecture role with design authority not a line-management role. 

Key responsibilities 

• Own the architecture of the agent-facing interface the semantic layer beneath it and the controls around it and keep the design coherent as separate teams build into it. 

• Set and hold the interface contract: what is exposed at what granularity how it versions and what stays private. 

• Adjudicate between competing technical approaches where more than one team is solving the same problem and make the call. 

• Define the evaluation approach that decides whether the layer is good enough to expose and set the standard the engineering teams build to. 

• Establish the security and governance model for agent access covering identity entitlements isolation between customers and safe defaults. 

• Work with product management platform engineering and the AI teams to sequence the build against a delivery roadmap. 

• Represent the architecture to senior technical stakeholders inside IFS to customers and to partners. 

Qualifications :

• 10 years in software engineering with 3 years in a lead architect role on a platform used by other teams or external developers. 

• Track record of owning the architecture of a production platform at enterprise scale through delivery rather than on paper. 

• Deep API and interface design experience including versioning backward compatibility and deprecation across a large consumer base. 

• Hands-on experience with AI systems that call tools or functions in production and a clear view of where they fail. 

• Experience with semantic modelling knowledge graphs or ontologies over an existing product or data estate. 

• Security and multi-tenancy design experience: identity entitlements isolation between customers. 

• Able to hold a technical position with senior stakeholders and change it on evidence. 

Desirable 

• Experience of enterprise application platforms and their extension or integration models. 

• Published or public technical work: standards contributions open source conference talks. 

• Background in asset-intensive industries.
