AI Architect – Agentic Systems

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Colombia.

📋 Description

• Design and implement production-quality agentic AI systems on Azure AI Foundry, ensuring solutions extend well beyond proof-of-concept to scalable, enterprise-ready platforms.

• Create comprehensive end-to-end pipelines utilizing Azure OpenAI, vector search, tool-calling patterns, and LangChain / Semantic Kernel for orchestration.

• Establish and uphold REST API design standards, JSON schema definitions, and event/message-based integration patterns across AI workloads.

• Guide the transformation of solutions from MVP to fully productized platforms, including refactoring, hardening, and addressing non-functional requirements such as performance, reliability, observability, and security.

• Deploy and manage scalable Azure infrastructure (AKS, App Service, Functions, or similar), working closely with DevOps/SRE teams to define runbooks, SLIs/SLOs, and monitoring frameworks.

• Assess and incorporate emerging agent frameworks and patterns (MCP, A2A) to continuously enhance platform capabilities.

• Utilize LangSmith or comparable tools to implement tracing, evaluation, and quality assurance across agentic pipelines.

• Document architectures, sequence diagrams, and interaction flows using Visio, Figma, or similar tools; facilitate collaborative design sessions with distributed teams using Mural/Miro.

• Collaborate with cross-functional and multi-program teams to ensure effective reuse and versioning of platform components across products.

• Assist in incident management and post-mortems, fostering a culture of continuous improvement in live production environments.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proven experience in delivering at least one end-to-end production AI or agentic system on Azure, beyond mere experimentation.

• In-depth knowledge of Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI Service, vector search, and tool-calling-based architectures.

• Practical experience with LangChain and/or Semantic Kernel for orchestration, along with LangSmith or equivalent for tracing and evaluation.

• Familiarity with emerging agent frameworks and patterns (MCP, A2A), with demonstrated experimentation in actual workflows.

• Strong foundation in REST API design and integration, JSON schema definition, and event/message-based architecture patterns.

• Proven history of taking solutions from MVP to productized platforms, with experience in refactoring, hardening, and addressing non-functional requirements.

• Hands-on deployment experience with scalable Azure environments: AKS, App Service, Azure Functions, or equivalent services.

• Experience working with DevOps/SRE/Operations teams to define runbooks, SLIs/SLOs, as well as logging and monitoring for production systems.

• Familiarity with incident management and post-mortems in live production settings.

• Daily operational proficiency with GitHub (repositories, PRs, GitHub Actions) and Jira (backlog management, boards, epics).

• Exposure to ServiceNow for change and incident management, including working with Change/ITSM processes.

• Ability to document complex architectures, sequence diagrams, and interaction flows using Visio, Figma, or similar tools.

• Comfortable leading collaborative design sessions using Mural, Miro, or whiteboard tools with distributed, multi-timezone teams.

• Experience working in multi-program environments where shared platform components are reused and versioned across different teams and products.
