What you'll do
- Own agentic-system architecture. Define how agents reason, plan, use tools, maintain state, recover from failure, collaborate, and involve humans. Make autonomy boundaries and behavioural contracts explicit.
- Design harness behaviour. Specify and prototype the control loop around the model: context assembly, planning and execution, tool selection, memory, retries, reflection, escalation, checkpoints, and termination conditions.
- Make quality measurable. Build the evaluation strategy for non-deterministic systems across offline test sets, simulations, trajectory and tool-use evaluation, online experiments, human review, and production monitoring.
- Architect retrieval and context. Design retrieval, ranking, context assembly, grounding, citation, permissions, and freshness patterns that remain reliable across enterprise knowledge sources and changing data.
- Turn intent into buildable specifications. Produce architecture decisions, behavioural specifications, interface contracts, evaluation plans,



and reference implementations exact enough for teams to implement consistently.
- Prototype and de-risk. Write production-quality proofs of concept for difficult agent behaviours, retrieval strategies, or evaluation methods before a pod commits to an approach. You still build.
- Guard execution fidelity. Lead design reviews, identify behavioural and quality drift early, make evidence-based trade-offs, and keep implementation aligned with the intended architecture.
- Raise the engineering bar. Mentor senior engineers, establish reusable patterns and review standards, and serve as the VP's depth partner on AI/ML feasibility, risk, and opportunity.

Core depth requirement (non-negotiable)

This is an agentic-engineering architect role, not a generalist AI advisory position. The successful candidate must demonstrate substantial hands-on depth in the following areas:
- Agentic engineering and harness behaviour - control loops, planning and execution, state an
