- Identify architectural opportunities and risks that have strategic implications, and proactively surface them to engineering leadership with clear options and recommendations.
- Design and drive an AI-first architectural approach across the platform, proactively identifying opportunities for AI and agentic architecture in solution design.
- Design and document solution-level architectures for new and evolving systems, including conceptual, logical, and solution architecture views, service decomposition, API design, data flow, and integration patterns.
- Author Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) that capture context, options considered, trade-offs, and rationale for key technical decisions including decisions about AI service integration.
- Evaluate architectural trade-offs across patterns (e.g., event-driven, request/response, CQRS) and recommend the right approach for a given problem domain.
- Apply Hands-on experience with agentic frameworks and tooling across the LangChain ecosystem, cloud-native agent platforms (AWS Bedrock AgentCore, Azure AI Foundry / Azure AI Agent Service), or equivalent.
- Familiarity with architecting for AI-specific concerns such as latency tolerance, token cost management, output non-determinism, and graceful degradation when AI services are unavailable or underperforming.
- Provide architectural direction on technical patterns and must be comfortable with hands-on prototyping and technology proof of concepts using AI assisted coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code etc.)
- Present multiple architectural design options to engineering teams and stakeholders, clearly articulating the pros, cons, risks, and trade-offs of each approach.
