Position Summary: AI Solutions Architect (Senior Consultants, Managers)

Role Summary

We are seeking an AI Solutions Architect to design and deliver production-grade AI agent platforms. The core of this role is building multi-agent orchestration systems using LangGraph and Anthropic Claude—routing user intent to specialized sub-agents, implementing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) over policy documents, and performing actions. You will own the architecture from LLM prompt design to multi-tenancy and vendor integration across HR platforms (Workday, SAP, Oracle HCM). You will collaborate with engineering, security, and product teams to translate business requirements into production-ready AI agent solutions. 

Experience bands:

  • Senior Consultant: 6+ years total experience, with significant time in AI/ML solution design
  • Manager: 10+ years total experience, with significant time in AI/ML solution design

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement multi-agent orchestration using LangGraph—intent classification, sub-agent routing, state management, checkpointing, and human-in-the-loop (HITL) interrupt flows.
  • Architect RAG pipelines: document ingestion, chunking strategies, embedding generation, vector search (pgvector), hybrid retrieval, and citation-grounded response synthesis.
  • Evaluate and integrate LLM providers (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, etc.), defining model selection strategies, prompt engineering standards, and token budget management across agent tiers and multi-tenant data layers
  • Design vendor integration patterns using direct APIs, MCP, and A2A protocol for complex HR platform workflows.
  • Define end-to-end AI solution architectures from user interaction through agent orchestration, vendor API integration, and production deployment with monitoring.
  • , own the AI application architecture (agent orchestration, LLM integration, RAG, guardrails, eval frameworks) in joint partnership with the Cloud Solution Architect, who owns the cloud platform and infrastructure layer.
  • , partner with the Data Integration Architect who owns document ingestion and vector store architecture; own downstream AI application concerns (retrieval strategy, prompt design, response synthesis, evaluation).
  • Conduct architecture reviews and mentor teams on best practices in LLM application design, agent patterns, and production readiness.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to translate requirements into architecture decisions and delivery roadmaps; produce HLD/LLD and ADRs.

Required Qualifications

  • 6+ years (Senior Consultant) or 10+ years (Manager) total experience, with significant time in AI/ML solution design and implementation.
  • Hands-on proficiency with agent orchestration frameworks - LangGraph strongly preferred.
  • Strong understanding of retrieval-augmented generation
  • Experience with prompt engineering, tool calling, and LLM evaluation techniques
  • Expert-level Python development for production systems
  • Strong hands-on experience building API services with FastAPI
  • Working knowledge of multi-tenant security patterns
  •  (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, or equivalent) for architecture work, design documentation, and engineering workflows. Familiarity with agentic engineering patterns is expected.
  • Strong communication and documentation skills; ability to influence cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol for vendor and cross-system integrations.
  • Experience integrating with HR/HCM platforms
  • Experience with LangFuse, LangSmith, or similar LLM observability and tracing platforms.
  • Knowledge of responsible AI practices: PII handling, prompt injection defense, model risk management, and explainability.
  •  — working familiarity with cloud-native deployment (Kubernetes, CI/CD, IaC, observability), data engineering patterns (ETL/ELT, lakehouse, streaming), and the operational implications for AI platforms. Not expected to own these, but must collaborate effectively with Cloud Solution and Data Integration architects in joint reviews.

Key Competencies

  • Architecture leadership with pragmatic trade-off decisions (speed vs. risk, cost vs. accuracy, build vs. buy, direct integration vs. protocol abstraction).
  • Ability to bridge AI research and engineering - turning prototypes into reliable, observable production services.
  • Strong ownership mindset for reliability, security, and operational excellence.
  • Coaching and standard-setting across teams.
