About the Role
We are seeking a highly accomplished Principal AI Architect / Tech Delivery Head to lead the technical design, architecture, and delivery excellence of our agentic AI systems. This role is central to shaping the core orchestrator, master agents, and multi-agent reasoning frameworks that power our R&D Lab.
You will serve as the senior-most technical leaderowning system architecture, research-to-production translation, engineering quality, and technical governance. Working alongside applied scientists, engineers, data teams, and product leaders, you will define architectural patterns, ensure reliability, and guide the creation of novel multi-agent capabilities.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role requiring deep expertise in LLMs, distributed systems, agent frameworks, and scalable AI infrastructure.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect the Multi-Agent System: Own the end-to-end architecture for the Central Orchestrator, Master Agents, interoperability standards, and runtime execution models.
- Technical Leadership: Set engineering direction, define technical standards, establish best practices, and oversee system reliability and scalability.
- Delivery Ownership: Ensure high-quality, timely delivery of R&D prototypes, internal pilots, and platform capabilities.
- Mentorship: Coach applied scientists, AI engineers, and platform engineers; elevate engineering rigor and problem-solving depth.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with Product, Data Engineering, MLOps, and Evaluation teams to translate research ideas into robust, deployable systems.
- R&D Decision-Making: Drive architectural choices, technology selection, performance optimization, and system-level trade-offs.
- Security & Compliance: Ensure architectures meet requirements for sensitive data, hybrid cloud, and enterprise/government operational constraints.
- Technical Review & Governance: Lead design reviews, provide high-level code oversight, and ensure long-term architectural coherence.
