Plative is seeking an AI Architect / Lead Engineer to design and deliver agentic, LLM-powered systems for clients. This hands-on, client-facing role focuses on generative AI and agentic workflows, emphasizing the end-to-end technical design and implementation of GenAI solutions.
Responsibilities:
- Lead technical discovery with clients to identify high-value GenAI and agent use cases tied to concrete business outcomes
- Translate fuzzy ideas into clear solution designs, user journeys, and MVP scopes that can be quickly validated
- Design end-to-end architectures for GenAI applications: frontend, backend/APIs, orchestration, LLM providers, vector databases, and integrations with enterprise systems and SaaS platforms
- Build and maintain LLM-powered services: conversational copilots, workflow agents, embedded assistants, and task-specific bots for internal and external users
- Design, implement, and operate agentic systems: planner/executor patterns, tool-using agents, and (where appropriate) multi-agent patterns for complex workflows
- Integrate agents with real tools and systems (REST/GraphQL APIs, internal microservices, workflow engines, data platforms), including authentication, authorization, and auditing
- Establish standards for prompt and system design, tool schemas, safety guardrails, observability, and reliability for GenAI and agentic solutions across projects
- Mentor engineers and consultants, review designs and code, and drive best practices and shared patterns across multiple client engagements
- Create reusable reference architectures, templates, and frameworks that accelerate future GenAI and agent projects
- Contribute to thought leadership via internal enablement and external content (talks, blog posts, OSS) when appropriate
