About the position
We are looking for a Lead AI Engineer & Architect to lead the design and development of an innovative AI-powered FinOps platform.
The position will play a key role as Technical Lead and Multi-Agent Systems Architect, participating in the construction of a greenfield platform composed of multiple specialized AI agents capable of analyzing information, generating insights, detecting anomalies, optimizing resources, and executing actions autonomously.
You will work in a multi-cloud environment (GCP/AWS), defining the architecture, orchestration, security, governance, and scalability of the agents, as well as the necessary mechanisms to control costs and ensure compliance with business and financial standards.
🤖 What kind of solutions will you develop?
The platform's AI agents will be able to:
- Analyze large volumes of information and generate insights.
- Detect anomalies.
- Identify resource optimization opportunities.
- Execute automated actions.
- Support financial operations.
- Optimize cloud infrastructure costs.
- Interact with APIs and enterprise tools.
- Escalate actions to human approval processes when necessary.
🚀 Key Responsibilities
- Design and lead the architecture of an AI multi-agent systems platform.
- Oversee the implementation and orchestration of approximately 8 specialized agents.
- Define communication between agents, tools, and services.
- Lead the prompt engineering, tool calling, and structured outputs lifecycle.
- Design solutions using Python, FastAPI, Pydantic, and FastMCP.
- Implement and manage the routing of different LLMs through LiteLLM Gateway and Vertex AI Model Garden.
- Work with models such as Gemini and Claude.
- Design Tokenomics mechanisms to monitor and control the consumption and cost of LLMs.
- Implement guardrails and execution limits for autonomous agents.
- Design security controls and Zero Trust architectures.
- Ensure segregation of duties and human approval mechanisms for sensitive financial processes under SOX standards.
- Design integrations using APIs, events, and fallback systems like Jira, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.
- Define code standards, testing, APIs, schemas, and error handling.
- Perform code reviews and establish good engineering practices.
- Mentor Senior and Semi-Senior AI engineers.
- Collaborate on designing scalable architectures on GCP and AWS.
🧠 Must-Have Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in Software Engineering.
- 3+ years in technical leadership, architecture, or AI solutions leadership roles.
