About the Role We are looking for a hands-on AI Architect to lead AI integration across a portfolio of enterprise software products. This is a “builder” role, not a traditional development role: you will identify where AI can create the most customer value, architect the solution, and lead a small pod to deliver it — then hand off to product teams and move to the next mission. You will operate in focused, mission-based cycles (typically three to six months), embedding AI-driven enhancements into existing applications and modernizing legacy and desktop software products toward modern, web-based experiences. What You'll Do • Lead mission-based AI pods — short, focused engagements (typically 3–6 months) that embed AI-driven improvements into products, then transition ownership to product teams. • Identify high-impact, AI-driven enhancements to existing applications that increase customer value and help reverse customer attrition. • Architect multi-agent AI systems and AI-first workflows that scale across both legacy and modern products. • Design cloud- and on-premise-agnostic AI solutions that work seamlessly across Azure cloud and on-premise deployments, without relying on any single hosting model. • Drive incremental modernization of legacy desktop/ERP applications to web-based experiences using modular approaches— introducing new AI capabilities while keeping core systems stable and uninterrupted. • Embed AI across the SDLC — planning, coding, and QA — including AI-driven testing baked into CI/CD pipelines. • Select and orchestrate the right AI models and tools for each task, and manage token usage and cost-efficiency across workflows. • Influence and evangelize AI-first thinking — coach and upskill engineering and QA teams and lead SDLC workshops and knowledge-sharing. • Partner with product and business stakeholders to align AI initiatives with retention and growth goals. What You'll Bring • 10–13 years in software engineering and architecture, with recent, hands-on leadership delivering AI/ML or Generative AI solutions. • Proven experience designing and building multi-agent AI systems and agentic workflows. • Strong product sense — able to translate product strategy into an AI-driven roadmap. • Experience modernizing legacy or enterprise applications (ERP, desktop, or early web) toward modern web architectures. • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tooling (e.g., Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) and orchestrating multiple models for task-specific workflows. • Experience integrating AI into CI/CD and QA automation (e.g., Playwright, Selenium, agent-based testing). • Familiarity with cloud (Azure) and on-premise deployment models, and the ability to design hosting-agnostic architectures. • Exceptional English communication — able to clearly express ideas, influence stakeholders, and lead teams. • A builder’s mindset — comfortable owning end-to-end, full-stack delivery. Nice to Have • Exposure to ERP verticals or other enterprise software domains. • Experience with developer-experience tooling and integrations across GitHub, Jira, and Azure DevOps. • A track record of coaching and upskilling teams and driving cultural change toward AI adoption. What Success Looks Like • Measurable customer impact — improved experience, efficiency, and retention across modernized products. • AI-first practices embedded into everyday engineering and QA workflows. • Legacy products progressively modernized to the web with no disruption to existing customers. Ways of Working This role is based in Kochi/Hyderabad with a hybrid arrangement preferred — close collaboration and on-site presence help build culture and accelerate knowledge sharing. Remote arrangements may be considered for exceptional candidates.
