AI Solutions Architect — Agentic AI Platforms

Position: AI Solutions Architect — Agentic AI PlatformsLocation: San Francisco, CA (Onsite)Duration: 12+ Months ContractPay Rate: $80-90/hr on W2/C2CAI Solutions Architect — Agentic AI PlatformsROLE OVERVIEWBayOne is hiring an AI Solutions Architect to lead the design and delivery of our enterprise Agentic AIplatform. You will own the technical vision for multi-agent systems, RAG, MCP-based tool integration,and the underlying microservices that let enterprises compose, govern, and operate domain-specificagents at scale — and drive reusability by codifying patterns into shared skills and sub-agents acrossthe Application Development Lifecycle (ADLC).KEY RESPONSIBILITIES• Agentic AI Architecture: Own end-to-end design of multi-agent systems using LangChain,LangGraph, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) — including planner-executor patterns, sub-agenthierarchies, tool routing, retries, and cost-aware token budgeting.• RAG & Knowledge Systems: Architect production-grade RAG pipelines with vector databases(pgvector, Qdrant), hybrid retrieval, re-ranking, and document-aware chunking to ground agents inenterprise knowledge.• Solution Architecture: Design reference architectures and solution blueprints for enterpriseclients across BFSI, payments, manufacturing, and government — translating business outcomesinto agentic AI roadmaps and reusable accelerators.• Scalable Microservices: Build event-driven microservices on Kafka, polyglot data layers withPostgreSQL and vector DBs, and Kubernetes-based deployment topologies for high-throughputinference workloads.• MLOps & Model Lifecycle: Establish practices spanning training, fine-tuning, prompt and configversioning, structured evaluations against golden datasets, drift detection, and automated rollbackwhen output quality degrades.• Traceability & Observability: Instrument agent reasoning traces, tool-call audit trails, tokenspend, and quality signals with Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry — enabling policyenforcement and human-in-the-loop oversight.• Reusable Engineering Standards: Codify AI engineering patterns (RAG retrievers, agent loops,eval harnesses, traceability spans) into reusable skills, sub-agents, and platform componentsconsumed across multiple product lines.• Rapid Engineering in ADLC: Roll out AI-led developer tools and sub-agents (Claude Code,Playwright MCP) across planning, code generation, code review, test authoring, and releasevalidation — accelerating delivery while standardizing quality.• Presales & Client Engagement: Partner with sales, presales, and customer success onenterprise pursuits — authoring solution designs, leading technical workshops, and shaping agenticAI roadmaps for prospects and existing clients.REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS• 10+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years architecting LLM-based oragentic AI systems in production.• Deep hands-on expertise with LangChain, LangGraph, RAG, MCP, prompt engineering, contextengineering, and token optimization.• Strong programming skills in Python and TypeScript (Java a plus); proven ability to design andimplement microservices with FastAPI, Spring Boot, or Node.js.• Production experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform,and CI/CD pipelines.• Solid grounding in MLOps — model training/fine-tuning, evaluation pipelines, drift detection, andobservability for AI systems.• Track record of solution architecture for enterprise clients — translating business problems intoreference architectures and shipping production outcomes.• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.NICE TO HAVE• Experience in Retail or regulated industries (PCI-DSS, KYC/AML, audit & complianceworkflows).• Familiarity with API gateways (Apigee, Kong) and developer-portal design for partner onboarding.• Exposure to Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agentic coding environments and the design of reusable skills/sub-agentsBayOne is an Equal Opportunity Employer and does not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, sex, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, status as a veteran, and basis of disability or any federal, state, or local protected class.
