Skills and Competencies
12+ years of experience in system architecture and technical leadership, with a proven ability to design and scale enterprise-grade AI and distributed systems.
Deep expertise in Python (3.11+), LangChain, LangGraph, FastAPI, and asynchronous programming, with hands‑on experience building production AI/LLM applications.
Strong architectural understanding of multi-agent systems, workflow orchestration, LLM integration, event-driven architectures, and microservices.
Experience developing LLM-powered decisioning systems, reinforcement-learning‑informed context engineering, and prompt optimization pipelines (e.g., DSPy).
Proficiency in designing multi-tenant architectures, high-performance APIs, and robust state management with PostgreSQL.
Knowledge of financial workflows, lending operations, and agentic AI patterns (preferred).
Education
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline—or equivalent professional experience.
Responsibilities
Architect and implement multi-agent orchestration systems using LangGraph and LangChain to power intelligent lending workflows.
Build advanced context engineering solutions leveraging reinforcement learning to enable adaptive, historically informed decision-making.
Design LLM-driven workflow planning and execution engines, including prompt-engineering frameworks, function-calling patterns, and model‑optimization pipelines.
Create scalable backend services using FastAPI with streaming (SSE/WebSocket) and ensure secure, isolated multi-tenant environments.
Lead system-level design across distributed microservices, event-driven systems, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and database schema evolution.
Implement LLM observability, latency optimization, and model‑efficiency enhancements using tools such as Langfuse and DSPy.
Develop AI agents dedicated to key lending functions and integrate real-time chat and streaming interfaces with frontend teams.
Oversee migration pipelines, artifact storage design, checkpointing, and persistent state management via PostgreSQL.
Collaborate cross-functionally with data architects, backend engineers, and product teams to deliver high-performance AI solutions.
Drive technical strategy, mentor senior engineering talent, and establish architectural best practices for scalable AI/LLM systems across the organization.
About the team
The AI Architecture team is responsible for building next‑generation AI‑powered lending solutions that combine advanced LLM orchestration, distributed systems design, and real‑time workflow automation. The team partners closely with engineering, data, and product groups to define architectural direction, deliver agentic AI capabilities, and shape Moody’s long‑term strategy in intelligent decisioning and financial automation.
