We are currently seeking a AI Tech Lead / AI Architect to join our team in Bangalore, Karnātaka (IN-KA), India (IN).

Role Summary Tech Lead/Architect is responsible for designing, governing, and scaling enterprise‑grade AI solutions based on cooperating intelligent agents. This role focuses on moving beyond isolated copilots or experimental prototypes to deliver orchestrated, auditable, and reusable multi‑agent systems that operate across business domains under strict security, compliance, and risk controls. The Architect partners closely with engineering, operations, compliance, risk, and legal teams to ensure AI‑driven solutions are safe, transparent, and production‑ready, while delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, quality, and cycle time.

Key Responsibilities • Multi-agent architecture & workflow orchestration: Define how agents work together (roles, shared context, coordination) and design orchestrated agent workflows for real business processes. • Reusable patterns (avoid one-offs): Establish standard reference patterns and starter implementations so teams don’t build bespoke, hard-to-maintain AI solutions. • Governance & compliance built-in: Embed practical controls (human-in-the-loop, approvals where needed) and ensure privacy/security expectations are met for sensitive/client data. • Observability & production readiness: Ensure solutions have monitoring/telemetry and meet production standards for reliability and operational support. • Enterprise integration & access control: Integrate agents with enterprise platforms/data sources and enforce entitlements/least-privilege access to prevent unintended exposure. • Technical leadership & translation: Guide engineering teams, act as SME, and translate business objectives into scalable AI architecture that delivers measurable outcomes.

Required Qualifications • 7+ years software engineering/architecture experience; 2+ years delivering AI/GenAI/ Agentic AI solutions in production. • Strong architecture skills: distributed services, APIs, integration, security, and reliability. • Hands-on experience with RAG and agentic/workflow orchestration patterns. • Strong understanding of multi-agent systems, agent orchestration, and coordination patterns. • Experience working with LLMs or AI reasoning systems, including managing model limitations and risks. • Solid background in enterprise software engineering, APIs, and system integration. • Strong understanding of Agentic AI Cognitive Frameworks • Strong understanding of Architectural Components of Agentic AI systems

Must-Have Skills • Python, production-grade engineering practices. • RAG: embeddings, vector stores, retrieval + grounding, evaluation. • Agentic frameworks (workflow/tool orchestration patterns). • MCP servers and AI tool integration experience • Observability/quality controls for AI solutions (monitoring + operational readiness). • Familiarity with Copilot/coding assistants in dev workflows.
