Job Description

As a agentic AI Architect, you will serve as a technical leader within our AI Engineering organization. You will execute our enterprise AI vision by architecting, implementing, and deploying sophisticated Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions. You have a proven track record of leading high-impact projects, optimizing ML systems for performance, and/or building robust MLOps infrastructure in cloud-native environments. You will report to the Director of Agentic AI. You will work Hybrid in Milwaukee, WI.

Primary Responsibilities:

Serve as the technical lead across several use cases currently with direct and full responsibility of defining technical specification, architecting end-to-end solutions, providing perspective on resource needs, advising on buy vs build considerations and ultimate use case solution execution.

Agentic AI Application and Pipeline Engineering:

Architect and implement AI Agents that use Tools and Skills including instantiation of MCP clients and servers.

Additionally, architect and implement scalable end-to-end Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines. These pipelines include data ingestion, document processing, and embedding generation, such as using Azure OpenAI embeddings or Gemini embeddings. Additionally, they involve integration with vector and NoSQL databases.

Azure MLOps and Deployment: Lead the development of solutions that sit on a robust MLOps infrastructure for AI systems, leveraging Azure Machine Learning (AML) or Kubeflow for pipeline orchestration, alongside Docker for containerization. Deploy and manage scalable inference services on server less platforms like Azure Container Apps or Google Cloud Run.

Multi-Agent Orchestration: Understand and have implemented AI Agents that can work with each other through LangGraph, A2A etc

Performance Optimization: Optimize model serving layers and high-throughput data processing pipelines, employing advanced libraries (e.g., Polars) to ensure ultra-low latency and efficient resource utilization across the cloud environment.

System Architecture & Security: Designing and implementing secure system architectures for all new AI products. These architectures ensure strict compliance with enterprise-wide data governance and security policies through mechanisms such as PII filtering and guarded conversation frameworks.

Infrastructure Automation & CI/CD: Understand how to use Terraform for provisioning and manage Azure infrastructure-as-code. Understand centralized observability (logging and alerting) to support automated and reproducible Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
