Job summary

Persistent Systems is seeking an experienced Agentic AI - AWS Architect to lead design and governance of AI-first enterprise solutions across the full SDLC. The role focuses on scalable AI agent frameworks, multi-agent systems, and RAG-based applications on AWS, with hands-on work in Java, Spark, Scala, and Node.js backend patterns.

You will mentor teams and drive security, observability, and production readiness.

Qualifications

• 10 to 16 years of software engineering, architecture or cloud experience.
• Hands-on experience creating AI agents and agentic workflows.
• Strong understanding of LLM architecture including prompt design and RAG.
• AWS exposure with serverless and cloud-native services such as Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Kinesis, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch and IAM.
• Strong Node.js backend development experience.
• Ability to design scalable, secure AI-first architectures that integrate enterprise applications and data sources.
• Experience with event-driven architecture, asynchronous communication, retries, idempotency, dead-letter handling, observability and production resilience.
• Strong communication to explain AI architecture trade-offs to stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain AI-first reference architectures covering agentic workflows, RAG patterns, tool/function calling, prompt orchestration, knowledge retrieval, evaluation and monitoring.
• Design and govern multi-agent solutions integrating enterprise systems, data, APIs, workflows and AI services.
• Architect cloud-native solutions on AWS using services for compute, eventing, storage, search, observability, security and integration.
• Provide architectural guidance and reviews across SDLC phases - solutioning, design, implementation, code review, deployment and production governance.
• Own backend architecture patterns using Node.js, including API design, asynchronous processing, error handling, retries, security, scalability and maintainability.
• Define agent guardrails including authentication, authorisation, safety checks, data boundaries, human-in-the-loop controls, auditability and failure handling.
• Guide event-driven and serverless design across Lambda, queues, streams, event buses, API gateways and downstream integrations.
• Review agent-generated or AI-assisted code for architectural consistency, quality, security, performance and adherence to approved patterns.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to build reusable templates, agent patterns, workflow blueprints and implementation standards for faster delivery.
• Define evaluation and quality approaches for agent outputs, including test datasets, regression checks, hallucination risk controls, response validation and observability.
• Document architecture decisions, assumptions, constraints, trade-offs and operational considerations for team consumption and leadership review.
• Mentor engineers and architects on AI-first design principles, AWS-native patterns, Node.js backend practices and responsible AI engineering.

Job description

We are looking for an experienced Agentic AI - AWS Architect to lead the design and governance of AI-first enterprise solutions across the complete SDLC lifecycle. The role involves architecting scalable, secure, and reusable AI agent frameworks, multi-agent systems, RAG-based applications, and cloud-native solutions on AWS. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in Java, Spark, and Scala, along with hands-on experience in AI agents, LLM-based applications, AWS cloud architecture, and enterprise-scale solution design.

• Role: Agentic AI - AWS Architect
• Experience: 10 to 16 Years
• Job Type: Full-Time Employment

What You'll Do:

• Define and maintain AI-first reference architectures covering agentic workflows, RAG patterns, tool/function calling, prompt orchestration, knowledge retrieval, evaluation and monitoring.
• Design and govern multi-agent solutions integrating enterprise systems, structured/unstructured data, APIs, workflows and AI services.
• Architect cloud-native solutions on AWS using appropriate services for compute, eventing, storage, search, observability, security and integration.
• Provide architectural guidance and reviews across SDLC phases - solutioning, design, implementation, code review, deployment and production governance.
• Own backend architecture patterns using Node.js, including API design, asynchronous processing, error handling, retries, security, scalability and maintainability.
• Define agent guardrails including authentication, authorisation, safety checks, data boundaries, human-in-the-loop controls, auditability and failure handling.
• Guide event-driven and serverless design across Lambda, queues, streams, event buses, API gateways and downstream integrations.

• Define evaluation and quality approaches for agent outputs, including test datasets, regression checks, hallucination risk controls, response validation and observability.
• Document architecture decisions, assumptions, constraints, trade-offs and operational considerations for team consumption and leadership review.
• Mentor engineers and architects on AI-first design principles, AWS-native patterns, Node.js backend practices and responsible AI engineering.

Expertise You'll Bring:

• 10 to 15 years of software engineering, application architecture, cloud architecture or enterprise solution design experience.
• Hands-on experience creating AI agents, agentic workflows, tool/function‑calling flows, AI assistants or automation agents in enterprise contexts.
• Strong understanding of LLM application architecture including prompt design, RAG, embeddings, vector search, context management, evaluation and response grounding.
• Strong AWS exposure with practical architecture experience across serverless, event-driven and cloud-native services such as Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, Kinesis, DynamoDB, S3, CloudWatch and IAM.
• Strong working experience with Node.js for backend services, APIs, integration layers and cloud-native application development.
• Ability to design scalable, secure and reusable AI-first architectures that integrate enterprise applications, data sources and external services.
• Experience with event-driven architecture, asynchronous communication, retries, idempotency, dead-letter handling, observability and production resilience.
• Good understanding of data patterns across relational, document, key-value, search and vector stores; ability to reason about access patterns and performance trade-offs.
• Architecture governance experience across design reviews, code reviews, production-readiness checks, security reviews and technical risk management.
• Strong communication skills with ability to explain AI architecture trade-offs to business stakeholders, product teams and engineering leadership.
• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Culture focused on talent development with quarterly growth opportunities and company-sponsored higher education and certifications
