About the Role
We are looking for a highly experienced Principal Solution Architect to define and drive the architecture of a scalable, high-performance, AI-native product platform.
This role goes beyond traditional system design. You will operate at the intersection of technology, product, business, and AI, ensuring that systems are not only scalable and resilient but also intelligent, adaptive, and future-ready.
You will play a critical role in shaping:
- What we build
- Why we build it
- How it evolves into an AI-augmented / AI-agent-driven platform
Working closely with Product Managers, you will bring strong technical depth along with a forward-looking architectural vision, enabling the transition from deterministic systems to intelligent, agent-driven systems.
Key Responsibilities
Architecture Leadership
- Own the end-to-end architecture of the product platform across backend, data, and frontend layers.
- Define systems that are scalable, resilient, extensible, and cost-efficient.
- Establish architectural principles, standards, and best practices across teams.
- Introduce patterns for AI-native system design, including agent orchestration and inference pipelines.
Customer-Centric Thinking
- Partner with Product Managers to deeply understand customer workflows, pain points, and usage patterns.
- Translate customer problems into architecture for:
-- Faster decision-making
-- Reduced operational friction
-- Improved user outcomes
- Communicate technical decisions in clear business terms.
Business-Aligned Architecture
- Ensure all architectural decisions align with:
-- Product strategy and roadmap
-- Business goals (growth, scalability, cost optimization, differentiation)
- Evaluate and guide trade-offs between:
-- Speed vs scalability
-- Cost vs performance
-- Flexibility vs complexity
- Design systems that support:
-- Long-term product evolution
-- Monetization strategies
-- AI-driven differentiation
AI Agent–Driven Architecture (Core Focus)
- Define architecture for AI agents embedded within the platform, such as:
-- Root Cause Analysis agents
-- Anomaly detection agents
-- Incident response and remediation agents
-- Conversational assistants and natural language interfaces
- Design agent orchestration frameworks, including:
-- Multi-agent collaboration patterns
-- Event-driven triggers and workflows
-- Context propagation across systems
-- Data ingestion --> Feature extraction --> Model inference --> Intelligent actions
- Define integration patterns for:
-- LLMs and ML models
-- Vector databases and embeddings
-- Real-time inference systems
-- Explainability and observability of AI decisions
-- Guardrails and fallback mechanisms
-- Human override workflows
- Balance deterministic systems with probabilistic AI behaviors.
Strong Point of View & Decision Making
- Bring clear, well-reasoned architectural opinions to discussions.
- Challenge ideas with both technical depth and business context.
- Confidently accept or reject approaches with structured justification around:
-- Technical feasibility and scalability
-- Long-term maintainability
-- Business impact and ROI
-- AI model reliability and risk considerations
- Drive alignment across stakeholders with clarity and conviction.
Cross-Functional Leadership & Continuous Alignment
- Collaborate closely with Product Managers to stay aligned with the product roadmap, priorities and evolving business goals.
- Provide early architectural input during feature ideation and roadmap planning.
- Ensure architecture evolves in sync with roadmap changes, avoiding rework and misalignment.
- Guide Engineering teams with clear architectural direction while balancing short-term delivery and long-term vision.
- Act as a core partner in the Product–Architecture–Engineering triad.
- Proactively identify and mitigate:
-- Technical risks
-- AI/ML risks including bias, drift, and reliability concerns
System Design & Technical Depth
- Design and evolve systems handling:
-- High-volume data processing
-- Real-time and batch workflows
-- Scalable APIs and frontend systems
- Architect data and AI pipelines, including:
-- Streaming ingestion
-- Feature engineering
-- Model inference layers
- Work across technologies such as:
-- Distributed systems and microservices architectures
-- SQL and NoSQL databases (MongoDB and Elasticsearch preferred
-- Modern web stacks (MERN or similar)
- Ensure efficient data flow across ingestion --> processing --> storage --> consumption layers.
Forward-Looking Architecture
- Partner with Product Managers to define long-term platform evolution.
- Drive transition toward:
-- AI-assisted systems
-- Predictive insights
-- Autonomous workflows
- Identify opportunities for:
-- Platform extensibility
-- Intelligent automation
-- Reusable AI-driven components
-- Future-ready
-- Adaptable to rapid AI advancements
Governance & Execution Excellence
- Create High-Level Designs (HLDs) and review and approve Low-Level Designs (LLDs).
- Drive design reviews, benchmarking, and capacity planning.
- Establish governance for:
-- Performance
-- Reliability
-- Security
- AI model lifecycle management (versioning, evaluation, monitoring)
- Ensure adherence to engineering and architectural standards across teams.
