Agentic Platform Architect

🚀 Agentic Platform Architect (Founding Team / Full-time, Hands-on) Location: Hyderabad Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful ESOP Start: ASAP About FN7 We’re building a lean, high-speed platform for agentic AI — a multi-tenant Brand Brain + Scout (social listening & engagement) + growth modules (ad creatives, Google PMAX, Meta, budget allocator). Our mission: help brands grow with AI-native autonomy, not dashboards. Our approach: a tiny core, massive leverage surface — we ship the foundation, and the ecosystem builds on top. The Role — You’ll Be the Platform Owner You’ll own the architecture and technical design of FN7’s agentic platform — from the SDK to the orchestrator. You’ll be both architect and builder: defining patterns, writing ADRs, mentoring engineers, and still shipping code weekly. This is not a role for a passive leader. It’s for a product-minded technologist who’s been a founder, 0→1 builder, or early tech lead, and is hungry to shape the next agentic platform from the ground up. What You’ll Drive Architecture & Patterns: - Evolve the agent architecture (Google ADK), module lifecycle, and micro-frontend shell. - Define core design patterns and write ADRs that set the tone for the platform. Developer Platform: - Build the Module SDK (templates, local dev, emulators) and CI/CD pipelines. - Make it effortless for external teams to ship plug-in modules fast and safely. Data & Orchestration: - Design evented backends (GCP Pub/Sub, Firestore) and containerized agent runners on Cloud Run/GKE. - Keep latency sub-second where it matters. Search & Retrieval: - Productionize hybrid search (Elasticsearch vector + keyword) and RAG pipelines for Brand Brain & Scout. Quality & Safety: - Define evaluation scorecards, golden datasets, and guardrails for reliability and brand safety. Performance & Cost: - Own profiling, SLOs, and budget control — balance speed, reliability, and efficiency like a craft. Technical Leadership: - Mentor a strong Senior TL toward Head-of-Platform readiness. - Drive a weekly release train and light steering cadence. What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days) - External module integration time ≤ 5 days from hand-off to staging. - Weekly release train ≥ 95% pass rate. - Scout/Brain latency and retrieval quality measurably improved (dashboards live). - Platform SDK + docs cut support load by 50% across two hackathons. You’ll Thrive Here If You… - Have started or built something yourself — a product, a tool, a startup — that got real users and traction. - Think in systems: architecture, economics, and creative constraints. - Enjoy complex conversations and thrive in ambiguity. - Believe execution > slides — ship, measure, evolve. - Value efficiency, clarity, and momentum over process. - Want to work in a place where speed, honesty, and craft matter more than headcount. Must-Have Experience - 8+ years building production platforms or systems; 3+ years with cloud-native architecture. - Hands-on with GCP (Vertex AI, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run/GKE), Kubernetes, CI/CD. - Strong in Node.js and Python. - Elasticsearch (vector + keyword, HNSW/KNN) in production. - Firestore/Firebase data modeling, security rules, emulator-driven dev. - Observability at scale (OpenTelemetry/logging/metrics). - Built and shipped at least one LLM/agent system in production. Nice-to-Have - Google ADK and multi-agent orchestration patterns. - Ads domain experience (Google Ads, PMAX, Meta) or RL for budget tuning. - Micro-frontend shells (React/Next) and feature-flag frameworks. - BigQuery, data pipelines, experimentation frameworks. How We Work - Tiny core, big surface: lean in-house team; feature expansion via paid hackathons. - Quality gates: evaluation scorecards and release flags; metrics decide go/no-go. - Fast loops: weekly release cadence, mid-week architecture huddles, Friday demos. Compensation & Growth - Competitive base + meaningful ESOP (size based on scope/seniority). - Clear path to Head of Platform or Founding Engineer → CTO trajectory. Interview Process (1 Week) 1. 30-min intro (Founder) 2. 60-min deep-dive on your past platform/agent work 3. Practical architecture exercise (24–48h): design a plug-in agent module 4. 60-min pair session (coding + debugging) 5.
