Lead Agentic AI Architect

Salary: $121,000 - 161,000 per year Requirements:

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, including 4+ years leading AI and agentic architecture or technical delivery across multiple teams, or equivalent demonstrated expertise.
• Experience deploying and operating multiple LLM or agentic applications in production, with strong skills in Python, APIs, distributed systems, RAG, and agent orchestration.
• Experience with cloud deployment, containers, CI/CD, evaluation, and observability; ability to explain trade-offs and influence technical and business stakeholders.
• Familiarity with AWS and Amazon Bedrock, including AgentCore; LangGraph, Stands, or comparable agent frameworks; MCP; semantic layers, ontologies, or knowledge graphs; insurance or other regulated data products; and AI-enabled SDLC practices.

• Define portfolio reference architectures, reusable agent services, and engineering standards; select models, frameworks, and build-versus-buy approaches based on quality, cost, and business needs.
• Contribute production code, review designs and pull requests, resolve complex technical issues, and coach engineering teams through delivery and adoption.
• Build dependable workflows using tool calling, orchestration, context and memory, retries, execution limits, and human approvals; choose an appropriate level of automation or agent complexity for each problem.
• Connect enterprise knowledge through agentic systems, RAG, structured data access, and API or MCP integrations, with permission-aware retrieval and source traceability.
• Work with QA and domain experts to establish evaluation datasets, task-success measures, groundedness and tool-call accuracy checks, adversarial tests, and release acceptance criteria.
• Prepare solutions for production with CI/CD, versioning, monitoring, agent tracing, fallbacks, and rollback; track reliability, latency, and cost per successful task, and help resolve incidents.
• Apply security and governance controls, including least-privilege tool access, sensitive-data protection, prompt-injection defenses, auditability, and approvals.
• Introduce and govern AI-assisted engineering practices, such as coding agents, AI code review, and test generation, and measure their impact on delivery speed and quality.
• Prioritize use cases with Product, maintain the technical roadmap, and share reusable components and lessons across teams to improve delivery speed and customer value.
