Technical Architect - AI

AI Technical Architect - Agentic & Gen AI Platforms

Experience : 7 - 10 years

Location : Gurugram

Availability : This is an urgent requirement - Immediate joiners preferred

Overview

Own the end-to-end architecture of production-grade AI systems with a strong hands-on orientation. You’ll design secure, scalable, and cost-efficient agentic and GenAI solutions, working closely with development teams to unblock issues, optimize performance, and drive engineering best practices. The role requires translating complex requirements into observable, resilient, and well-governed platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Architectural Design : Define target architectures for agentic systems (planning / reasoning / tool-calling), GenAI / RAG pipelines, and evaluation loops. Create detailed technical design documents with flow / UML / sequence diagrams and deployment topologies.
• Infrastructure & Cost Modeling : Estimate runtime costs and resource requirements (throughput, latency, concurrency, CPU / GPU, memory, vector index sizing, etc.) while balancing performance and cost.
• Technical Leadership : Lead deep-dive debugging and incident resolution; profile performance bottlenecks, fix defects, and elevate overall engineering standards.
• Reference Implementations : Establish reusable blueprints for agents (Semantic Kernel preferred; LangGraph, AutoGen, or CrewAI acceptable) including schema validation, memory, grounding, and multi-step planning.
• Retrieval Architecture : Design hybrid search and retrieval systems—covering ingestion, embeddings, ranking, query planning, caching, and freshness policies—with measurable evaluation metrics for recall, precision, and hallucination control.
• Production Deployment : Build and deploy on cloud (Azure preferred) using containers and IaC. Integrate identity / secrets, networking, ingress, queues, and eventing with SLIs / SLOs and error budgets.
• Observability & Monitoring : Implement distributed tracing, structured logging, and metrics; standardize dashboards, alerts, and replay capabilities.
• Evaluation Frameworks : Develop evaluation and promotion workflows : Prompt / flow testing, golden datasets, A / B experiments, regression suites, and rollout gates.
• Security & Compliance : Apply threat modeling, prompt-injection defenses, sandboxing, and data governance. Build policies for PII protection, red-teaming, and audit trails.
• Standards & Governance : Define platform standards for code quality, reusable patterns, SDKs, CI / CD templates, documentation, and architecture reviews.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration : Partner with product, data, and SRE teams for capacity planning, disaster recovery, multi-region setups, and post-incident analysis.
• Mentorship : Guide engineers through reviews, coaching, and best practice enforcement focused on reliability and maintainability.
