AI Architect
Technical Skills Required
Proven experience of:
Agent Orchestration: LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI - not just conceptual
Agentic Coding Tools: Claude Code CLI, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Copilot
RAG & Vector Stores: Chroma, Weaviate, Pinecone, know where RAG breaks
LLM APIs & SDKs: Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini - prompt design, tool use
Python / TypeScript: Primary languages for agent + backend development
LangSmith / Observability: Tracing, evaluation, debugging agent runs
Cloud Platforms: Azure, AWS, GCP (at least one) - deployment, infra, managed services
API & System Integration: REST, gRPC, Kafka - enterprise integration patterns
MCP / Shared Context: Model Context Protocol, CLAUDE.md, Beads
Agent Evaluation: Testing non-deterministic outputs, guardrails, evals
CI/CD & DevOps: Git, containers, pipelines - agents need to ship
Client Communication: Can present architecture to a CXO without jargon
Must have:
•Deployed 2–3 agent-based systems in production - stateful, multi-step, real users
•Used LangGraph for multi-agent orchestration with memory, tool routing, and state management
•Built projects where AI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) wrote significant portions of the code
•Implemented RAG pipelines end-to-end - chunking, embedding, retrieval, re-ranking, evaluation
•Integrated agents with real enterprise APIs - not just OpenAI playground or sample data
•Debugged a production agent failure - and fixed it without blaming the model
•Can articulate when NOT to use agents - that is how we know you have built things
