AI Solutions Architect — Agentic AI Platforms

ROLE OVERVIEW

BayOne is hiring an AI Solutions Architect to lead the design and delivery of our enterprise Agentic AI

platform. You will own the technical vision for multi-agent systems, RAG, MCP-based tool integration,

and the underlying microservices that let enterprises compose, govern, and operate domain-specific

agents at scale — and drive reusability by codifying patterns into shared skills and sub-agents across

the Application Development Lifecycle (ADLC).

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Agentic AI Architecture: Own end-to-end design of multi-agent systems using LangChain,

LangGraph, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) — including planner-executor patterns, sub-agent

hierarchies, tool routing, retries, and cost-aware token budgeting.

• RAG & Knowledge Systems: Architect production-grade RAG pipelines with vector databases

(pgvector, Qdrant), hybrid retrieval, re-ranking, and document-aware chunking to ground agents in

enterprise knowledge.

• Solution Architecture: Design reference architectures and solution blueprints for enterprise

clients across BFSI, payments, manufacturing, and government — translating business outcomes

into agentic AI roadmaps and reusable accelerators.

• Scalable Microservices: Build event-driven microservices on Kafka, polyglot data layers with

PostgreSQL and vector DBs, and Kubernetes-based deployment topologies for high-throughput

inference workloads.

• MLOps & Model Lifecycle: Establish practices spanning training, fine-tuning, prompt and config

versioning, structured evaluations against golden datasets, drift detection, and automated rollback

when output quality degrades.

• Traceability & Observability: Instrument agent reasoning traces, tool-call audit trails, token

spend, and quality signals with Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry — enabling policy

enforcement and human-in-the-loop oversight.

• Reusable Engineering Standards: Codify AI engineering patterns (RAG retrievers, agent loops,

eval harnesses, traceability spans) into reusable skills, sub-agents, and platform components

consumed across multiple product lines.

• Rapid Engineering in ADLC: Roll out AI-led developer tools and sub-agents (Claude Code,

Playwright MCP) across planning, code generation, code review, test authoring, and release

validation — accelerating delivery while standardizing quality.

• Presales & Client Engagement: Partner with sales, presales, and customer success on

enterprise pursuits — authoring solution designs, leading technical workshops, and shaping agentic

AI roadmaps for prospects and existing clients.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years architecting LLM-based or

agentic AI systems in production.

• Deep hands-on expertise with LangChain, LangGraph, RAG, MCP, prompt engineering, context

engineering, and token optimization.

• Strong programming skills in Python and TypeScript (Java a plus); proven ability to design and

implement microservices with FastAPI, Spring Boot, or Node.js.

• Production experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform,

and CI/CD pipelines.

• Solid grounding in MLOps — model training/fine-tuning, evaluation pipelines, drift detection, and

observability for AI systems.

• Track record of solution architecture for enterprise clients — translating business problems into

reference architectures and shipping production outcomes.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience in Retail or regulated industries (PCI-DSS, KYC/AML, audit & compliance

workflows).

• Familiarity with API gateways (Apigee, Kong) and developer-portal design for partner onboarding.

• Exposure to Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agentic coding environments and the design of reusable skills/sub-agents
