Job summary

Ulta Beauty, Inc. seeks an Architect, Martech Agentic Engineering to transform how Martech builds and operates software and data products with agentic engineering.

This hands-on leader will define the technical vision, operating model, and tooling strategy across Martech and drive adoption of reusable patterns and guardrails. You will lead the evolution toward outcome-oriented agentic engineering, orchestrating agents while maintaining oversight, and embedding capabilities across delivery teams

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, CIS, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 10+ years of progressive experience and technology ownership in software engineering, data engineering, enterprise automation or solution architecture.
• Hands-on experience applying automation and/or agentic capabilities to software engineering, data engineering, platform engineering, or SDLC workflows, including the ability to contribute production-quality code.
• Strong engineering fundamentals across APIs, distributed systems, cloud, CI/CD, source control, developer tooling, automated testing, observability, security and modern data patterns.
• Experience with LLM-based development tools, agent orchestration, context engineering, tool integration/MCP, evaluation frameworks and human-in-the-loop controls.
• Proven ability to create reusable engineering patterns, reference implementations, standards or enablement capabilities and drive their adoption across multiple engineering teams.
• Ability to lead through influence, coach senior technical talent, build communities of practice and drive organizational change without direct authority.
• Strong analytical mindset; able to define success measures and use data to evaluate productivity, quality and developer experience.
• Excellent communication and learning agility, with the ability to translate complex technology into clear recommendations while navigating a rapidly evolving AI landscape.

Responsibilities

• Define the technical vision, architecture, tooling strategy, standards, and operating model for agentic software and data engineering across Martech.
• Enable the evolution from task-oriented AI assistance toward outcome-oriented agentic engineering, where engineers orchestrate agents against defined goals while retaining judgment, oversight and accountability for results.
• Experiment with emerging agentic engineering techniques through prioritized use cases, separating durable value from hype.
• Productize proven approaches into reusable golden paths, context patterns, tool/MCP integrations, evaluation frameworks, guardrails, and reference implementations.
• Embed capabilities by working with pods on real engineering work and transferring knowledge through the guild to delivery teams.
• Measure impact by tracking cycle time, throughput, quality, toil, developer experience and capacity.
