Principal Solutions Architect – Intelligent Engineering & Agentic Automation

Location: India | Leadership Track

Role Overview

Altimetrik is seeking a forward-thinking Principal Solutions Architect to lead the evolution of our Intelligent Engineering capabilities across automation, AI, and composable enterprise architecture.
This role will anchor our next-generation Intelligent Automation & Agentic AI practice, driving solution strategy, pre-sales leadership, accelerator development, and initial engagement bootstrapping. The individual will work cross-functionally with Platform Modernization, Quality Engineering, and DevSecOps practices to inject intelligence-driven automation across engineering ecosystems.

This is a high-visibility role with a defined progression path toward Practice Leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Solution Architecture & Technical Leadership

• Design end-to-end intelligent automation solutions combining RPA, Agentic AI, APIs, and enterprise platforms.
• Architect multi-agent systems leveraging frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or equivalent.
• Define RAG architectures, vector database integration strategies, and AI guardrails.
• Establish reference architectures and reusable solution patterns.
• Bootstrap initial client engagements and build POCs where required (20–30% hands-on involvement).

Intelligent Automation & Agentic AI Strategy

• Develop scalable patterns integrating RPA platforms, Agentic AI orchestration, API-first systems, and enterprise low-code/no-code platforms.
• Define governance models for AI-driven automation including observability, human-in-the-loop mechanisms, and security guardrails.
• Optimize cost, performance, and scalability of AI-augmented automation.

Cross-Practice Engineering Enablement

• Enable AI-assisted legacy modernization strategies and intelligent refactoring accelerators.
• Drive AI-driven test generation, OpenAPI-based automation, and agent-based validation orchestration.
• Integrate AI-assisted pipeline intelligence, security validation automation, and policy-as-code patterns.

Pre-Sales & GTM Enablement

• Lead client discovery workshops and solution whiteboarding.
• Contribute to proposals, RFP responses, and commercial modeling.
• Build differentiated demo environments and accelerators.
• Enable sales teams with technical positioning narratives.

Practice Development & Capability Building

• Define reusable IP and accelerator roadmap.
• Mentor architects and senior engineers.
• Establish engineering standards for AI + Automation solutions.
• Support hiring and capability scaling initiatives.

Required Experience & Qualifications

Experience

• 10+ years in enterprise engineering and solution architecture.
• 5+ years hands-on experience in RPA implementations at scale.
• Demonstrated experience architecting AI-enabled automation solutions.
• Prior involvement in pre-sales, proposal development, or client advisory roles.
• Experience contributing to capability or practice development initiatives.

Technical Expertise

• Enterprise RPA architecture (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, or equivalent).
• Multi-agent orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, etc.).
• RAG pipelines and vector database integration.
• API-first and microservices architecture.
• Cloud-native deployment models (AWS/Azure).
• Python-based backend development (FastAPI preferred).
• Enterprise security & governance models and observability strategies.
• Experience integrating automation within enterprise low-code platforms (Unqork, Appian, Mendix, Power Platform, ServiceNow) is desirable.

Leadership & Behavioral Competencies

• Strong executive communication and client engagement skills.
• Ability to translate complex AI/automation concepts into business outcomes.
• Systems-thinking mindset across engineering disciplines.
• Builder mentality with strategic vision and high ownership.
• Entrepreneurial drive with practice-building orientation.

Growth Path

This role is designed to evolve into Practice Lead – Intelligent Engineering & Automation or Director / Capability Head – Agentic AI & Intelligent Automation based on demonstrated impact and leadership.
