Agentic Ai Architect

**About the Role**:
**Grade Level (for internal use)**: 13
**Location**: Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Bangalore

Key Responsibilities
**As an Agentic AI Architect, you will**:
**AI Architecture and System Design**: Architect and design robust, scalable, and autonomous AI systems that seamlessly integrate with enterprise workflows, cloud platforms, and advanced LLM frameworks. Define blueprints for APIs, agents, and pipelines to enable dynamic, context-aware AI decision-making.
**Strategic AI Leadership**: Provide technical leadership and strategic direction for AI initiatives focused on agentic systems. Guide cross-functional teams of AI engineers, data scientists, and developers in the adoption and implementation of advanced AI architectures.
**Framework and Platform Expertise**: Evaluate, recommend, and implement leading AI tools and frameworks, with a strong focus on autonomous AI solutions (e.g., multi-agent frameworks, self-optimizing systems, LLM-driven decision engines). Drive the selection and utilization of cloud platforms (AWS SageMaker preferred, Azure ML, Google Cloud Vertex AI) for scalable AI deployments.
**Customization and Optimization**: Design strategies for optimizing autonomous AI models for domain-specific tasks (e.g., real-time analytics, adaptive automation). Define methodologies for fine-tuning LLMs, multi-agent frameworks, and feedback loops to align with overarching business goals and architectural principles.
**Innovation and Research Integration**: Spearhead the integration of R&D initiatives into production architectures, advancing agentic AI capabilities. Evaluate and prototype emerging frameworks (e.g., Autogen, AutoGPT, LangChain), neuro-symbolic architectures, and self-improving AI systems for architectural viability.
**Documentation and Architectural Blueprinting**: Develop comprehensive technical white papers, architectural diagrams, and best practices for autonomous AI system design and deployment. Serve as a thought leader, sharing architectural insights at conferences and contributing to open-source AI communities.
**System Validation and Resilience**: Design and oversee rigorous architectural testing of AI agents, including stress testing, adversarial scenario simulations, and bias mitigation strategies, ensuring alignment with compliance, ethical and performance benchmarks for robust production systems.
**Stakeholder Collaboration & Advocacy**: Collaborate with executives, product teams, and compliance officers to align AI architectural initiatives with strategic objectives. Advocate for AI-driven innovation and architectural best practices across the organization.

**Qualifications**:Technical Expertise**:
12+ years of progressive experience in AI/ML, with a strong track record as an AI Architect, ML Architect, or AI Solutions Lead.
7+ years specifically focused on designing and architecting autonomous/agentic AI systems (e.g., multi-agent frameworks, self-optimizing systems, or LLM-driven decision engines).
Expertise in Python (mandatory) and familiarity with Node.js for architectural integrations.
Extensive hands-on experience with autonomous AI tools and frameworks : LangChain, Autogen, CrewAI, or architecting custom agentic frameworks.
**Proficiency in cloud platforms for AI architecture**: AWS SageMaker (most preferred), Azure ML, or Google Cloud Vertex AI, with a deep understanding of their AI service offerings.
Demonstrable experience with MLOps pipelines (e.g., Kubeflow, MLflow) and designing scalable deployment strategies for AI agents in production environments.
**Leadership & Strategic Acumen**:
Proven track record of leading the architectural direction of AI/ML teams, managing complex AI projects, and mentoring senior technical staff.
Exceptional ability to translate complex technical AI concepts into clear, concise architectural plans and strategies for non-technical stakeholders and executive leadership.
Ability to envision and articulate a long-term strategy for AI within the business, aligning AI initiatives with business objectives and market trends.
Foster collaboration across various practices, including product management, engineering, and marketing, to ensure cohesive implementation of AI strategies that meet business goals.
