Job description

Role Overview:

The Agentic AI Architect will design, develop, and implement autonomous AI agents using LLMs (Large Language Models), GenAI, and multi-agent systems within the GCP ecosystem. This role requires expertise in Vertex AI, Generative AI Studio, BigQuery ML, and GCP AI/ML services, along with deep knowledge of agentic AI frameworks such as LangChain, AutoGen, and CrewAI.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Architect and design agentic AI systems that leverage LLMs, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and multi-agent collaboration frameworks.
  • Develop intelligent, autonomous AI agents that interact with structured and unstructured data, using Vertex AI and GCP AI services.
  • Optimize vector search and embeddings using GCP's Vertex AI Matching Engine (FAISS-based) and hybrid search techniques.
  • Implement event-driven and API-based workflows for AI automation using Google Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, and Pub/Sub.
  • Design MLOps and LLMOps pipelines for model training, deployment, monitoring, and continuous fine-tuning.
  • Ensure AI governance, compliance, and security best practices in multi-agent AI deployments.
  • Collaborate with data engineers, ML engineers, and solution architects to build scalable AI applications.
  • Drive the integration of AI agents with enterprise systems, including BigQuery, Looker, Apigee, and Document AI.
  • Optimize performance of LLMs on GCP TPU/GPU instances for efficient model inference.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • 10+ years in AI, ML, or software architecture, with a strong focus on agentic AI.
  • Strong expertise in GCP AI/ML ecosystem (Vertex AI, AutoML, Generative AI Studio, BigQuery ML).
  • Experience with LangChain, AutoGen, CrewAI, OpenAI API, and similar AI frameworks.
  • Proficiency in Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX for AI model development.
  • Strong knowledge of vector databases (Vertex AI Matching Engine, Pinecone, Weaviate, ChromaDB).
  • Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Functions, Cloud Run, Cloud Composer (Airflow), and Dataflow.
  • Experience with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) for knowledge retrieval optimization.
  • Strong understanding of AI security, governance, and ethical AI principles.
  • Proven ability to design, scale, and optimize AI-driven applications in production.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Hands-on experience with Google’s Generative AI offerings (PaLM 2, Gemini, Vertex AI Pipelines).
  • Experience integrating multi-modal AI models in GCP (text, vision, speech).
  • Knowledge of AI observability tools (Vertex AI Model Monitoring, Explainable AI).
  • Experience inreal-time streaming AI applications using Pub/Sub and Dataflow.
