Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, communicates crisply, and architects systems that scale
- Proven experience architecting and shipping agentic AI systems using LangGraph, LangChain, or ADK
- Deep understanding of LLMs, embeddings, vector databases, RAG optimisation, prompt evaluation, and agent orchestration
- Hands-on Python engineering capability — this is not a strategy-only role
- Expert-level GCP knowledge, especially in Vertex AI (Pipelines, Model Registry, Feature Store)
- Experience deploying production AI systems with strong DevOps and CI/CD foundations
- Exceptional clarity in explaining complex AI systems to engineers, product partners, and executives
- Experience in senior IC roles (Staff/Principal/Architect) owning design end-to-end
- Comfortable acting as the internal decision-maker in areas of technical ambiguity
What the job involves
- We are seeking a Lead AI Automation Architect — a hands-on senior engineer who will design and deliver the foundational agentic systems that our entire organisation will build upon
- This is a high-impact, deeply technical role reporting into Data Science leadership, with light team leadership responsibilities
- Architect Partnerize’s Agentic AI framework using Vertex AI, LangGraph, Redis, and Gemini
- Own the design of RAG pipelines, orchestration logic, semantic memory, planning agents, evaluation workflows, and distributed tool-use systems
- Make high-impact architectural decisions quickly and confidently — you are the internal authority
- Lead the transition from external consultants to a fully internal engineering team
- Build production-grade agentic systems that are maintainable, secure, observable, and fast
- Establish the internal “Agent Blueprint” — Partnerize’s architecture standard for all future agent development
- Partner closely with Product and the VP of Architecture to shape technical feasibility and roadmap direction
- Proactively optimise for latency, cost, reliability, and scalability
- Mentor AI Automation Engineers and raise the technical bar across coding practices, design patterns, and architectural thinking
- Drive a culture of crisp communication, low-ceremony documentation, and high-velocity experimentation
- Architect the AI platform that powers billions of events per day
- Serve as the senior technical authority on agentic AI engineering
- Work directly with Data Science and Architecture leadership
- Build frameworks and systems that will be used across the entire company
