TL;DR · Software Engineering Architect

The Software Engineering Architect will join the Experience team to set the strategy and technical direction for the Internal Agentic Platform, Model Context Protocol, and Context Engineering capabilities. This hands-on leadership role involves defining platform experiences for building, deploying, and operating agents while establishing reusable capabilities for orchestration, tool integration, and state management. You will guide the adoption of agentic frameworks including Mastra AI and LangChain/LangGraph to improve developer productivity across the software development lifecycle. Key responsibilities include designing a secure LLM Model Gateway, managing model economics for SLMs and LLMs, and architecting enterprise retrieval systems using RAG and Graph RAG. You will ensure secure, governed integrations with enterprise tools while maintaining standards for privacy, reliability, and observability in a production environment.

What you'll do

  • Own the strategy and architecture for a platform that enables teams to build, deploy, and operate AI agents across Salesforce.
  • Set the technical direction for Model Context Protocol (MCP) including server/client patterns, tool discovery, and lifecycle management.
  • Define reusable platform capabilities for agent orchestration, tool integration, runtimes, state, memory, and human oversight.
  • Guide the adoption and integration of agentic frameworks such as Mastra AI and LangChain/LangGraph.
  • Design and evolve a secure LLM Model Gateway to provide consistent model access, policy enforcement, and governance.
  • Manage model economics by evaluating cost-effectiveness, token efficiency, and performance tradeoffs between SLMs and LLMs.
  • Lead the architecture for context engineering and enterprise knowledge management using RAG and Graph RAG systems.
  • Establish shared standards for security, privacy, reliability, and observability across all agents, models, and data.

What we're looking for

  • You must have 15+ years of experience designing and delivering large-scale distributed systems, developer platforms, AI platforms, or infrastructure services.
  • You must have a track record of setting strategy and technical direction across teams and carrying it through implementation and production operation.
  • You must have strong expertise in agentic platform architecture and experience creating platform capabilities for agent development and operation.
  • You must have hands-on experience with agentic frameworks such as Mastra AI and LangChain/LangGraph.
  • You must have experience designing model gateways, inference platforms, model-serving systems, or model orchestration layers.
  • You must have experience building enterprise knowledge or retrieval systems using RAG, Graph RAG, or search.
  • You must have a related technical degree.
  • You should have experience delivering production LLM or agent systems, including evaluation, telemetry, and safety (preferred).
