Job Description :
The Agentic AI Architect is a senior-level, client-facing role within TCS's AI & Data business unit in the Americas. This position is responsible for designing next-generation AI solutions that leverage autonomous, agentic AI systems-AI that can make decisions, take actions, and adapt independently. The architect will lead the design and delivery of scalable, ethical, and industry-specific AI architectures across sectors such as BFSI, Manufacturing, Life Sciences, Telecom, Retail, and more.
Key Responsibilities :
- AI Architecture Design : Define end-to-end architectures for AI systems incorporating autonomous agents and LLM-based components.
- Client Engagement : Conduct workshops and consulting sessions to translate business needs into AI architecture blueprints.
- Multi-Agent Orchestration : Design frameworks for multi-agent systems, including agent roles, coordination protocols, and fail-safes.
- Enterprise Integration : Plan secure, scalable integration with enterprise systems (e.g., ERP, IoT, core banking).
- Prompt Engineering & RAG : Implement advanced prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation strategies.
- Technical Leadership : Guide engineering teams through prototyping and delivery, ensuring architectural integrity.
- Industry-Specific Customization : Tailor AI solutions to meet compliance, personalization, or privacy needs across industries.
- Emerging Tech Evaluation : Continuously assess and integrate new AI tools, frameworks, and methodologies.
- Ethical AI Design : Embed responsible AI principles (e.g., transparency, fairness, security) into system architecture.
- Client-Facing Delivery : Present architectural proposals, lead discovery sessions, and support critical deployment phases.
Qualifications :
