Software Architect – Artificial Intelligence Experience: 5+ years Location: Hybrid (India) | Bengaluru, NCR, or Hyderabad The Role Our client is building the infrastructure layer for AI in hospitals. As Software Architect , you’ll lead the technical design and evolution of our AI platform—one that enables reasoning agents, handles population-scale data, and powers clinical workflows with intelligence and speed. This role combines hands-on engineering with strategic influence. You’ll define core abstractions, scale systems across environments, and enable a world-class team of engineers to build on top of the foundation you lay. What You’ll Own Architect scalable AI systems—from data ingestion and orchestration to model inference and observability Design and evolve the platform’s agentic core: integrate models, tools, reasoning engines, and feedback loops Build clean, reusable APIs and frameworks that product and clinical teams can rely on Work across the product lifecycle: from user needs and hospital feedback to iteration and deployment Mentor engineers, enforce high standards, and navigate tough technical trade-offs in a startup environment What You Bring 5+ years leading the design of complex, mission-critical systems at scale Strong experience with LLM-based or agent-driven architectures , especially in secure, compliance-bound environments Proven ability to set technical direction while staying hands-on with architecture, code, and reviews Depth in backend infrastructure: cloud-native systems, data pipelines, deployment workflows, monitoring Excellent communication, decision-making, and mentoring skills A degree in computer science or a related field Bonus: Experience training or fine-tuning custom AI models Who This Is For You’re a system-level thinker who sees complexity as a challenge, not a blocker. You want to build with purpose—and you’re comfortable shaping both the codebase and the engineering culture that defines how it grows. If you’re looking to lead from the front, solve messy real-world problems, and work alongside world-class builders—this is your kind of role.
