SENIOR AI DESIGNER

• Lead the Architecture of Agentic AI Systems: Design end-to-end agentic AI architectures that move from prototype to production, with a strong focus on reliability, scalability, and practical deployment. You will translate complex social-impact use cases into systems that are robust, auditable, and suited to real-world operating conditions, including multilingual and low-resource environments. 
• Build Intelligent, Integrated AI Platforms: Shape AI platforms that bring together LLMs, retrieval systems, structured and unstructured data, and multi-modal inputs such as speech, documents, and vision. You will guide the design of RAG pipelines, knowledge layers, model integration patterns, and evaluation approaches that improve system quality in meaningful ways. 
• Drive Production Readiness and Platform Maturity: Define architectural standards for deployment, monitoring, versioning, and safe rollout across cloud-based AI systems. You will help establish sound engineering and MLOps practices so that new capabilities can move into production with consistency, traceability, and operational confidence. 
• Provide Technical Leadership Across Teams: Work closely with engineers, researchers, and partner stakeholders to guide technical decisions, clarify trade-offs, and keep execution aligned with the overall system vision. You will mentor team members, support strong technical documentation, and help build reusable open-source assets that strengthen A4I’s Digital Public Goods approach. 

Role Scope 

• This is a hands-on architecture role with meaningful technical leadership and close involvement in engineering decisions. 
• The work focuses on production-oriented AI systems and reusable platforms that create clear social value. 
• You will work across multiple stakeholders and use cases, while remaining closely connected to delivery and implementation.
