Your Impact
- Design and architect GenAI and Agentic AI solutions that integrate seamlessly with Anaplan's planning platform, enabling natural language interaction with complex business models
- Lead the architecture strategy for conversational AI systems that understand and manipulate Anaplan dimensions, hierarchies, and planning models
- Develop architecture patterns for agent-to-agent (A2A) communication frameworks that enable autonomous planning agents to collaborate on complex business scenarios
- Design prompt engineering frameworks and best practices that optimize LLM performance for time-series forecasting, scenario planning, and financial modelling use cases
- Create technical specifications for agentic systems that can autonomously reason about business planning problems, propose solutions, and execute multi-step workflows
- Collaborate with product and engineering teams to define API contracts, data models, and integration patterns for AI-powered features
- Evaluate and recommend AI/ML technologies, frameworks, and models that align with enterprise requirements for security, scalability, and reliability
- Lead architecture reviews and provide technical mentorship to engineering teams implementing AI solutions
- Partner with data science teams to translate forecasting models and ML algorithms into production-ready architectures
- Design observability and evaluation frameworks for GenAI systems, including guardrails, monitoring, and continuous improvement mechanisms
Your Qualifications
- Experience in software architecture, with experience focused on AI/ML systems
- Deep expertise in LLM architecture, prompt engineering, and GenAI application design
- Strong understanding of agentic AI patterns, multi-agent systems, and autonomous decision-making frameworks
- Experience with enterprise AI frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, Haystack, or similar)
- Strong programming skills in Python and experience with modern AI/ML tooling (PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.)
- Experience designing RESTful APIs, microservices architectures, and event-driven systems
- Track record of shipping production AI systems at scale in enterprise environments
- Strong communication skills with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for diverse audiences
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or related field (Master's or PhD preferred)
Preferred Qualifications
- Knowledge of Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent communication standards
- Experience with vector databases, RAG architectures, and semantic search systems
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and their AI services
- Experience in SaaS or enterprise software companies
What Makes This Role Exciting
- Shape the future of AI-powered business planning at a leading enterprise platform
- Work on cutting-edge agentic AI systems that autonomously reason about complex business problems
