As a member of our Solution Architecture team, you'll direct technical research initiatives, produce reusable tools, and help define standards for applications built around LLMs.

Responsibilities

• Design full-scale GenAI architecture solutions, including RAG models, Agents, and Multi-Agent frameworks, built for large-scale enterprise use
• Produce reusable accelerator components and reference architectures to bring uniformity to solution delivery
• Lead technical discovery sessions and deliver direct, practical support to engineering teams
• Build evaluation frameworks and define standards that shape how LLM applications are developed
• Collaborate with a range of teams to ensure architectural designs scale appropriately and remain sustainable long-term
• Develop microservices-based systems by applying established patterns and current-generation frameworks
• Guide the integration of cloud infrastructure elements across environments like AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Manage container-based deployment and orchestration efforts through Docker and Kubernetes
• Evaluate and pick suitable vector database options, such as Pinecone, Weaviate, or Chroma, for supporting GenAI projects
• Implement LLMOps strategies and monitoring tools to strengthen the quality of production rollouts
• Support prompt engineering and RAG evaluation activities aimed at improving application reliability
• Participate in mentoring initiatives and contribute knowledge across the architecture function
• Enforce strong coding standards for production-level Python development
• Lead efforts toward ongoing refinement of system architecture and solution scalability

Requirements

• A range of 9 to 14 years working in software development, with solid grounding in solution architecture and system design
• Expert-level Python skills geared toward delivering code suitable for production
• Capability across microservices design, architectural patterns, FastAPI, Redis, Elasticsearch, and Kafka
• Extensive hands-on background in GenAI application development, spanning Agents, MCP, RAG, Agentic RAG, and GraphRAG
• Deep familiarity with LangGraph, LangChain, and similar orchestration platforms
• Applied experience assessing LLMs and RAG systems while overseeing prompt management
• Established success delivering GenAI applications that scale well in production settings
• Hands-on background using cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP
• Comfort working with containerization technologies, specifically Docker and Kubernetes
• Awareness of vector database solutions, including Pinecone, Weaviate, or Chroma
• Firm grasp of LLMOps fundamentals and the monitoring tools that support them
• Demonstrated leadership skill suited for steering engineering teams
