Mission
As a
Software Architect specialised in GenAI and Agentic solutions
, your mission will be to design
secure, scalable and well-governed AI solutions
for enterprise environments, connecting
systems, data, APIs, cloud platforms and business needs
.
The focus is not on years with one specific tool. What matters is a
strong architecture foundation

beyond the proof of concept
and into real production.




You will work hand in hand with
development, data, cloud, cybersecurity and business teams
, acting as the technical reference in architecture discussions.
Responsibilities
Designing
reference architectures for GenAI and agent-based solutions

Assessing use cases and recommending the
right pattern for each one
: knowledge assistants, workflow automation, tool-using agents,
multi-agent systems
or AI embedded in existing products
Defining how agents
securely access corporate data and systems
: permissions, access control, secrets management, traceability and action boundaries
Designing
knowledge retrieval components
(
RAG, vector indexes, context management
and data quality) that deliver relevant and verifiable answers
Setting up
evaluation and observability frameworks
for AI solutions: output quality, flow behaviour,
cost, latency
, incidents and level of human intervention
Integrating AI capabilities with
backend architectures, APIs, transactional systems and cloud platforms
, making sure solutions are
operable and maintainable in production
Creating
reusable patterns, standards and technical guidelines
to scale the responsible adoption of GenAI across projects and industries
Leading




architecture conversations with technical and business stakeholders
, identifying risks, dependencies and alternatives to turn vision into a viable implementation
Requirements
Essential Experience:
6+ years in software architecture
, technical design or the evolution of complex enterprise solutions

, containers or cloud services
Ability to translate business and user needs into
architecture decisions, technical patterns and realistic roadmaps
Solid grasp of core architecture principles:
scalability, resilience, security, observability, performance and governance
Backend background
, ideally with
Java, Spring Boot and/or Python
, plus API and integration design
Recent hands?on experience (ideally 1–2 years)
with
Generative AI, LLMs, RAG, embeddings, vector databases
or intelligent automation
Practical knowledge of
agentic patterns
: orchestration, context management, tool use, decision flows, API integration and
human-in-the-loop
Experience with
cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP)
and
automation / Infrastructure as Code
practices
Ability to
technically guide development teams
and work across data, cloud, security and business profiles
Based in Spain
and available for a
hybrid model
(Bilbao preferred)
Nice to Have
Familiarity with
GenAI / Agentic frameworks and platforms
such as
LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, CrewAI, AutoGen, Azure AI Foundry, Amazon Bedrock or Vertex AI
(no need to master them all)
