- Design scalable, modular, and extensible system architectures for GenAI-powered applications.
- Make key design decisions across model selection, orchestration, data flows, and system integration.
2. Build Intelligent GenAI Systems:
- Architect LLM-powered systems including copilots, decision-support systems, and agentic workflows.
- Define patterns for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), context management, and reasoning pipelines.
- Enable real-time intelligence and actionability through AI-driven insights.
3. Drive Engineering Excellence & Scale:
- Establish best practices for system design, code quality, and platform reliability.
- Oversee development of high-performance, scalable backend systems and APIs.
- Ensure robust deployment architectures across cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure).
4. Integrate Across Enterprise Ecosystems:
- Lead integration of AI platform with existing enterprise systems and data pipelines.
- Ensure scalability, security, and compliance in production environments.
- Design microservices-based architectures for seamless interoperability.
5. Lead, Mentor & Influence:
- Work closely with leadership to translate strategic vision into execution.
- Mentor engineering teams and guide technical decision-making.
- Collaborate with clients and stakeholders to drive adoption of AI solutions.

- Proven experience in designing and architecting scalable AI/ML systems.
- Experience in leading a team as well as handling customer stakeholders.
- Proven expertise in working with LLMs, Generative AI, and Agentic AI technologies.
- Experience with cloud-native architectures (Azure, AWS, GCP) and distributed systems.
- Hands-on experience with MLOps, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong proficiency in backend development using Python frameworks (such as Django/Flask) or other similar technologies.
- In-depth understanding of APIs, microservices architecture, and cloud-based deployment strategies.
- Ability to drive collaboration across cross-functional teams and lead projects in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
- Experience in mentoring and guiding teams, fostering collaboration across cross-functional groups.
- Passion for innovation, with the ability to stay updated with emerging technologies and apply them to solve complex challenges.
What Makes This Role Exciting :
- Opportunity to architect a flagship AI platform from the ground up.
- Direct collaboration with senior leadership and founders.
- Work on cutting-edge GenAI systems with real enterprise impact.
- Influence long-term AI strategy and platform direction.
