About the Role
Description :
Are you ready to redefine how software is built in the AI era
Were looking for a Chief Agentic Systems Architect to transform legacy platforms into high-velocity, AI-native, agent-operable systems.
This is not a conventional architecture role you will operate at the intersection of software design, AI-agent orchestration, and engineering governance, building systems where autonomous agents can safely write, refactor, and ship production code.
Why Join :
- High ownership, flexibility, and real impact
- Work across multiple products, industries, and technologies
- Fast-paced, outcome-driven environment
- Remote-first flexibility
- Strong growth pathways across engineering & leadership
Role Overview :
You will lead the transformation of 10+ year legacy systems into modular, scalable architectures designed for AI-driven execution.
What Youll Do :
- Agent-Operable Architecture
- Break down monoliths into modular, agent-readable systems
- Drive modernization using the Strangler Pattern
- Implement SOLID principles, Dependency Injection & Hexagonal Architecture
- Agentic Framework & MCP Leadership
- Design AI context layers (Skills, Rules, Commands)
- Build Model Context Protocol (MCP) interfaces
- Lead contract-first API architecture for AI-agent interaction
- Engineering Governance
- Act as gatekeeper for AI-generated code
- Enforce TDD and robust testing frameworks
- Optimize agent workflows for speed, cost & reliability
What Were Looking For :
- 15+ years in software architecture / platform engineering
- Strong experience modernizing complex legacy systems
- Hands-on expertise in TypeScript, .NET, Node.js
- Deep understanding of distributed systems & API design
- Experience with LLMs, AI-assisted development, or agentic systems
- Strong bias for clean, scalable, production-grade systems
Nice to Have :
- Experience with global or remote teams
- Background in SaaS transformation or high-growth environments
- Comfortable in fast-paced, ambiguous setups
Why This Role Matters :
- Youre not just adding AI features.
- Youre building the foundation where AI can autonomously create and evolve software.
- This is a career-defining opportunity to shape the future of engineering.
