Technical Architect

The Technical Architect provides enterprise-level architectural leadership across application, data, cloud, and integration platforms. This role defines architecture blueprints, reference designs, standards, and reusable patterns that guide engineering teams, while partnering with business and technology stakeholders to translate complex requirements into scalable, secure, and resilient solutions. A meaningful portion of the role focuses on technical incubation and rapid prototyping to quickly validate new product concepts. This hands-on role drives the 0-to-1 build of functional MVPs leveraging AI/ML, generative models, and multi-agent workflows. Ultimately, this role establishes the security and scalability guardrails that turn successful proofs-of-concept into resilient, production-ready architectures

Essential Job Duties / Responsibilities

• Define and maintain architecture blueprints, reference architectures, design standards, and platform patterns to ensure consistency and scalability across enterprise systems.
• Lead the hands-on prototyping and rapid incubation of emerging technologies (including Applied AI, Multi-Agent workflows, and Generative AI), solutioning with modern design patterns to safely and quickly extract value from legacy core systems without disrupting enterprise stability.
• Translate business and product requirements into end-to-end technical architecture, ensuring alignment with enterprise strategy, security controls, and operational readiness.
• Establish the technical foundation, sandbox environments, and engineering guardrails (e.g., cost monitoring, rate-limiting, and error-handling loops) required for the safe execution of autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents.
• Provide architectural leadership and technical direction across multiple concurrent initiatives and cross-functional teams.
• Lead technical decision-making, design reviews, and architectural governance, balancing competing priorities, cost, performance, and risk.
• Partner with solution and data architects to model and document interfaces between systems, including request/response APIs and asynchronous messaging.
• Mentor junior team members, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
• Stay current on industry trends, technologies, and best practices to continuously enhance architecture capabilities.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

• Demonstrated experience producing architecture diagrams, detailed designs, and technical specifications for complex solutions.
• Deep hands-on experience building 0-to-1 products or leading rapid-delivery engineering initiatives within a highly ambiguous environment.
• Proven engineering experience implementing LLM-orchestrated applications, RAG pipelines, and multi-agent state machines (e.g., LangGraph).
• Strong knowledge of cloud platforms, microservices, API-first design, and modern, fast-to-deploy backend/frontend frameworks.
• Working knowledge of security controls, compliance frameworks, and architectural governance practices.
• Ability to lead technical discussions, influence engineering decisions, and drive cross-functional alignment.
• Fluency in English; strong communication, problem-solving, planning, and organizing skills.
