AI Platform Architecture (With Strong GCP)

We have a full time opportunity with one of our major clients. They are looking for a AI Platform Architecture (With Strong GCP) for an important project.

Position: AI Platform Architecture (With Strong GCP)

Location: Fully Remote, Bollingbrook , IL 60440

Duration: Full Time : Permanent

Job Description:

Agentic AI platform design and architecture

Multi-agent orchestration patterns

State and memory management approaches

LLM-as-a-Judge frameworks

What we're looking for

We need candidates who can go beyond strategy and team leadership and speak in detail about the architecture and implementation of enterprise AI platforms. Now do we need them to be able to go deep on everything below? No, that’s not realistic, but I hope this helps to paint a better picture of what to target in future conversations.

The strongest candidates should be able to discuss:

Agentic AI platform design and architecture

Multi-agent orchestration patterns

State and memory management approaches

LLM-as-a-Judge frameworks

MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and agent integration frameworks

RAG architectures, context management, and knowledge services

Semantic layer strategy and tooling

Human-in-the-loop workflows

Prompt management and agent lifecycle/versioning

AI platform governance and operational controls

Security & Governance Depth

Candidates should be able to describe:

AI permissions and security strategies

Identity and access management approaches

Multi-agent security frameworks

Strategies for securing sensitive data in LLM environments

Model Armor, guardrails, and enterprise AI controls

Compliance, auditability, and responsible AI practices

AI Platform Operations & Observability

We're specifically looking for leaders who have personally driven or architected:

MLOps / AIOps frameworks

Logging and monitoring pipelines

Agent and model observability

Cost observability and optimization

Datadog and/or similar observability platforms

Continuous training and deployment pipelines

CI/CD processes for AI platforms

Cloud & Platform Architecture

The ideal candidate should be able to discuss trade-offs and design decisions across:

Vertex AI / GCP

Databricks

OpenAI ecosystem

Gemini ecosystem

Build vs. buy decisions

Platform selection criteria

Enterprise-scale AI infrastructure design

Example of the level of detail we're seeking

Rather than saying:

"I led an AI platform team that built agents."

We'd expect candidates to be able to explain:

"We standardized on Vertex AI with LangGraph for orchestration, implemented a multi-agent architecture with shared memory services, used RAG backed by Databricks vector search, integrated an MCP layer for tool connectivity, implemented evaluation using LLM-as-a-Judge frameworks, and monitored agent performance and cost through Datadog and custom observability dashboards."
