Partner with engineering teams to ensure alignment between architecture and delivery
Introduce modern engineering practices (CI/CD, IaC, testing strategies) into enterprise workflows
Collaboration & Leadership

Understanding of agent‑based architectures, prompt orchestration, and AI governance
Ability to evaluate and apply emerging technologies in real‑world enterprise contexts
Preferred Skills
AI System & Agentic Workflows
Design, build, and optimize agentic AI systems using modern agent frameworks (e.g., LangGraph, AutoGen, Haystack Agents, ReAct‑style agents).
Implement multi‑agent collaboration patterns, task orchestration, memory architectures, tool integrations, and reasoning‑enhancing strategies.
Develop secure, robust, and scalable tool‑calling and function‑execution flows for agents operating in dynamic environments.
Automation & Integration
Experience with workflow automation tools (Power Automate, Logic Apps, etc.)
Strong understanding of system integration patterns (REST, messaging, event‑driven architecture)
Enterprise Architecture
Knowledge of architecture frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman) with a pragmatic, execution‑focused mindset
Experience defining architecture patterns, standards, and reusable design components
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and work experience.
Knowledge of enterprise architecture principles, patterns, and best practices, with familiarity in cloud computing and SaaS models.
Excellent consultative and communication skills, and the ability to work effectively with business, partner, and IT stakeholders.
