Job Description

Enterprise AI Architect JD

What You Will Do

  • Design and implement context architectures for LLM apps and agents: schemas, memory patterns, context assembly, and context window management.
  • Build and optimize RAG pipelines (chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, re-ranking) and validate quality using repeatable evaluation harnesses.
  • Develop system prompts, prompt libraries, and structured output patterns; harden solutions against prompt injection and jailbreak attempts.
  • Implement agentic workflows and tool-use integrations (APIs, function calling, workflow engines) with clear guardrails and observability.
  • Engineer memory and persistence patterns (session memory, episodic recall, vector memory) appropriate for enterprise privacy and retention needs.
  • Work with enterprise data and app teams to connect AI solutions to real systems (ERP/SCM/CRM, data lakes/warehouses), ensuring secure access and correct semantics.
  • Collaborate with delivery leads to break work into stories, estimate effort, and drive day-to-day execution; mentor engineers through reviews and pairing.
  • Use systematic optimization (prompt/context tuning, retrieval experiments, DSPy-style approaches) to improve reliability, latency, and cost.

What You Bring

AI Engineering Skills

  • Strong Python skills and ability to ship production services.
  • Hands-on expertise with RAG: embeddings, vector stores, retrieval strategies, re-ranking, and grounding techniques.
  • Strong prompt and context engineering: system prompts, structured outputs, tool-use prompting, and context assembly patterns.
  • Experience building agentic systems with orchestration frameworks (or custom implementations) and designing safe tool integrations.
  • Awareness of security threats (prompt injection, data exfiltration) and ability to implement practical mitigations and guardrails.

Enterprise Integration Background

  • Experience integrating AI apps with enterprise services, data sources, and identity (SSO/IAM), including secure network and secrets handling.
  • Ability to work with structured and unstructured enterprise data; understand governance/lineage enough to avoid incorrect or unsafe data use.
  • Comfort operating within enterprise SDLC controls: CI/CD, change management, security reviews, and production incident response.
  • Working knowledge of enterprise workflows and process context so AI solutions map to real operations and decision points.

Tools & Platforms

  • Python; common LLM/RAG frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Haystack or equivalent).
  • Vector databases and search stacks (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch).
  • Memory and state management approaches (session stores, vector memory, durable stores) appropriate for privacy and retention constraints.
  • Evaluation and observability tooling (RAGAS, LangSmith/Phoenix or equivalent) and ability to build custom eval pipelines.

Preferred Qualifications

  • B.Tech / M.Tech in CS, Engineering, or Linguistics; research background in NLP or information retrieval is a plus.
  • Published work, open-source contributions, or internal frameworks related to context management or prompt engineering.
  • Prior consulting or professional services experience — ability to adapt context design to diverse client environments quickly
