About the role

  • Execute Architecture & Re‑Architecture
  • Act as a principal architect and execution lead for GenAI and agentic capabilities spanning multiple portfolios.
  • Identify architectural bottlenecks in existing solutions and lead their redesign into modular, reusable components (agents, tools, evaluation modules, guardrails, observability layers).
  • Design and validate reference architectures for agentic workflows, including tool use, orchestration, memory, and failure recovery patterns.
  • Translate architectural intent into working code, templates, and patterns that teams can directly adopt.
  • Reduce build‑to‑production cycle time by standardizing abstractions, interfaces, and evaluation pipelines.
  • Establish and evangelize “build once, reuse many” principles across GenAI and advanced analytics use cases.
  • Personally design, prototype, and validate agentic and GenAI architectural spikes.
  • Review and challenge system designs and implementations produced by senior engineers and data scientists.
  • Define reusable LLM and agent evaluation frameworks covering quality, hallucination, robustness, bias, cost, and latency.
  • Partner closely with Technology, Product, and Model Risk to ensure architectures are explainable, auditable, and scalable under regulatory scrutiny.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of Quantitative Analytics experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education
  • Master's degree or higher in a quantitative discipline such as mathematics, statistics, engineering, physics, economics, or computer science
  • 8+ years of experience designing and delivering advanced analytics, ML, or AI systems.
  • Demonstrated experience re‑architecting existing systems for modularity, reuse, and speed.
  • Advanced proficiency in Python and modern AI/ML engineering practices.
  • Proven ability to operate as a hands‑on architectural authority without formal people management.
  • Experience designing or contributing to internal AI platforms or developer frameworks.
  • Deep exposure to agentic AI systems, LLM evaluation, and reliability engineering.
  • Experience operating in regulated industries.
  • Prior exposure to hyperscale or hyperscale‑adjacent engineering practices (strong plus)
