Gen AI Architect

Jade Business Services (JBS)
Houston, TX

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior AI Architect to lead the design and implementation of enterprise-scale Agentic AI systems and multi-agent orchestration platforms. This role requires deep expertise in LLM-based architectures, distributed systems, and cloud-native infrastructure.

As a technical authority, you will guide enterprise clients through their Agentic AI transformation, from evaluating AI frameworks and communication protocols to deploying scalable, production-ready AI automation solutions.

You will work at the forefront of GenAI platform engineering, designing architectures that power intelligent automation, enterprise knowledge systems, and AI-driven workflows.


Key Responsibilities

Agentic AI Architecture & Design

  • Design and implement end-to-end multi-agent orchestration systems for enterprise automation and decision intelligence.
  • Define agent design patterns, including agent roles, delegation frameworks, task decomposition, and orchestration strategies.
  • Architect scalable agent ecosystems with lifecycle management, monitoring, fallback mechanisms, and human-in-the-loop capabilities.
  • Evaluate and implement inter-agent communication protocols such as MCP, A2A, REST, gRPC, JSON-RPC, and event-driven messaging.

GenAI & Foundation Model Integration

  • Select and integrate LLMs and foundation models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Llama, etc.) based on task requirements.
  • Develop advanced prompt engineering and context management strategies, including:
  • Few-shot prompting
  • Chain-of-thought reasoning
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
  • Structured output pipelines
  • Implement tool and function calling patterns enabling agents to interact with enterprise APIs, databases, and services.
  • Optimize context window management, token budgets, and dynamic context injection for scalable production systems.

State Management & Agent Memory

  • Architect stateful AI systems with short-term, long-term, and episodic memory layers.
  • Implement persistence strategies using:
  • Vector databases
  • Key-value stores
  • Graph databases
  • Relational systems
  • Design auditable and idempotent execution patterns suitable for enterprise governance and compliance requirements.

Microservices & Platform Engineering

  • Build AI platforms using loosely coupled microservices with scalable APIs and observability built in.
  • Deploy AI systems using container orchestration platforms such as Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, or GKE).
  • Establish CI/CD pipelines for AI workloads including model versioning, prompt versioning, and deployment strategies.
  • Promote Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform and GitOps deployment practices.

Enterprise Client Engagement

  • Partner with enterprise stakeholders to assess AI readiness and automation opportunities.
  • Translate complex business requirements into scalable AI system architectures.
  • Provide guidance on build vs. buy decisions for AI frameworks and vendor tools.
  • Produce architecture documentation, reference designs, and implementation playbooks.


Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in software engineering or platform architecture.
  • 3+ years of experience designing AI/ML systems or GenAI platforms.
  • Hands-on experience building multi-agent or agentic AI orchestration systems in production.
  • Strong experience with agent frameworks such as:
  • LangChain
  • LangGraph
  • AutoGen
  • CrewAI
  • Semantic Kernel
  • Expertise integrating LLMs, embeddings, tool/function calling, and RAG pipelines.
  • Deep knowledge of microservices architecture, distributed systems, and API design.
  • Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes preferred) and cloud platforms such as GCP, AWS, or Azure.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, with additional experience in TypeScript, Go, or Java preferred.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with enterprise clients or consulting environments.
  • Knowledge of AI governance, responsible AI, and compliance frameworks.
  • Familiarity with model fine-tuning, RLHF, or adapter-based model customization.
  • Experience with AI observability tools such as LangSmith, Arize AI, or OpenTelemetry.
  • Experience working with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, pgvector).
  • Contributions to open-source AI or agentic system projects.
