- Architecting agent memory and state for long-running, multi-step sessions
- Defining retrieval architecture for grounded reasoning
- Designing the inference and orchestration layer for high throughput
- Establishing the LLMOps architecture on Databricks (AWS)
- Building security and Responsible AI into the architecture
- Leading design reviews and partnering with engineering, product, security, and data teams to align on architecture
- Staying hands-on, building prototypes and reference implementations that de-risk decisions
Requirements:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, or Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
- Significant experience architecting large-scale distributed systems in production
- Deep expertise in API design and systems integration
- Hands-on experience designing and shipping LLM-powered systems in production
- Strong Python skills for hands-on prototyping
- Deep experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS preferred)
- A solid grounding in security, privacy, and compliance for enterprise systems
