Senior AI Systems Architect We’re looking for a senior AI Systems Architect to design the foundational intelligence layer that powers these capabilities in a way that is reliable, evolvable, and cost‑controlled.
Responsibilities You will own the design of the AI intelligence layer and this includes:
Designing a transparent intelligence architecture that supports multiple AI‑driven features
Defining a robust memory taxonomy (short‑term, long‑term, client‑level, org‑level, and meta memory)
Designing RAG‑based retrieval systems that serve different product use cases
Defining retrieval + reasoning flows that adapt to intent, context, and confidence
Establishing failure handling and guardrail strategies for production AI systems
Designing idempotent AI workflows for actions, updates, and automation
Establishing cost controls, usage boundaries,



and observability
Designing evaluation and feedback loops so intelligence improves through use
Deliverables Memory schemas and retrieval strategies
Interface contracts and reference patterns for implementation
A Phase‑2 build plan outlining how intelligence evolves post‑MVP
What You'll Not Do Building UI or frontend features
Acting as a generalist full‑stack developer
Shipping one‑off demos or prototypes
Writing large amounts of production code
Optimizing prompts in isolation from system design
Desired Profile Have designed AI intelligence systems inside real products
Think in terms of systems, state, and failure modes
Are fluent in RAG, memory design, and retrieval strategies
Care deeply about idempotency, reliability, and cost control
Can guide engineers through clear abstractions and contracts
Fractional / Contract
10–20 hours per week
Opportunity for full‑time employment
How to Apply Examples of production AI systems you’ve architected
How you think about memory, retrieval, and reasoning
Any diagrams, writing, or artifacts that show your system‑level thinking
