Principal Architect ( Agentic AI Platform & Systems )

Experian is looking for a Principal Architect to build a shared Agentic AI Platform that enables teams across the enterprise to design, deploy, and operate AI-powered agents and workflows safely, consistently, and at scale.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in designing, building, and operating complex, cloud-native software systems in production environments, with depth in platform, infrastructure, or distributed systems.

• Experience designing or operating systems that incorporate LLMs or AI models as core components, including managing model interaction, control flow, and failure modes.
• Proficiency in Python (and/or Java or Scala) for building backend services, frameworks, or SDKs.
• Experience with public cloud platforms (AWS preferred), including compute, networking, storage, and security primitives.
• Demonstrated experience owning and evolving shared platform architectures over time, including setting boundaries, managing tradeoffs, and adapting designs as scale and requirements change.
• Proven ability to drive architectural alignment across teams through technical influence, design reviews, reference architectures, and hands-on collaboration rather than formal authority.
