Own end-to-end architecture for an AI-native, hyperscaler-agnostic CPQ product: design semantic graph core, agentic LLM services, RAG pipelines, async APIs, and lead technical delivery, mentoring, and build-vs-buy decisions.
Principal Architect - CPQ product will own the end-to-end architecture of an AI-native platform built on frontier AI models and agentic workflows. Define the technical vision across product architecture, data platforms, pricing engines, knowledge systems, and AI services while making critical build-vs-buy, platform, and model strategy decisions. Partner closely with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to create a scalable, enterprise-grade solution that transforms complex sales and pricing processes through automation and intelligence. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring deep technical expertise, architectural rigor, and the ability to attract and mentor high-caliber engineering talent.
What will you own?
• Define the architecture for a hyperscaler and LLM-agnostic product built to run on customer infrastructure - not a platform-locked implementation.
• Design the semantic data core: graph-based modeling with typed relationships, multi-tenant isolation, and provenance.
• Architect agentic services - tool-using LLM agents, orchestration, guardrails, and retrieval grounding - as first-class product capabilities.
• Set standards for async API design, state machines, code generation/templating, and draft-to-active data lifecycles.
• Lead technical delivery end-to-end, mentor engineers, and make the build-vs-buy and model-selection calls.
Must-Have Experience:
• 15+ years building software, with a proven record of shipping real products 0-to-1 through scale - not just running projects.
• Core LLM engineering: designing agentic systems with frontier models (Claude / GPT) - tool / function calling, agent skills, multi-step orchestration, and memory.
• Production RAG: embeddings, vector search, chunking and re-ranking, semantic field-mapping, and grounding model output over enterprise data.
• Prompt & context engineering: structured / JSON output, schema validation, evals and regression harnesses, guardrails, and cost / latency / quality trade-offs.
• Strong in Python and modern JS/TS (React / Vite); async services, graph / semantic data modeling, containers, and cloud (Azure / AWS / GCP).

Nice to Have:
• CPQ / quote-to-cash or enterprise SaaS exposure. Salesforce or Revenue Cloud familiarity is a plus, not a requirement - this is a non-Salesforce-native product.
