AI Architect

Apply Job Type Full-time Description Augeo is a global leader in loyalty and engagement technology, known for delivering data-driven programs that strengthen relationships and drive meaningful business results. We’re redefining how brands connect with the people they serve, bringing together intelligence, behavior, and innovation to create more timely, meaningful engagement at scale. With the power of AI, we’re unlocking capabilities that were never before possible - unifying experiences, incentives, recognition, and advocacy into predictive systems that move at the speed of people. All in service of a bold mission: to decode human motivation and make loyalty the world’s most trusted currency. For the right person, this is a chance to step into a company with a strong foundation, bold ambition, and the opportunity to help define the future of loyalty. Summary Augeo is building an agentic loyalty platform that will power personalized engagement for tens of millions of users. Always on, context-aware, and extensible by design, the platform delivers an "Audience of One" experience where every interaction makes the system smarter. We are hiring engineers with exceptional architectural judgment, deep product ownership experience, and an AI-forward mindset to join the team building it. Working closely with a product leader to define the requirements, you will own a product domain end to end: from the requirements to the design, implementation, tests, deployment, and outcomes. You will manage teams of AI agents and be responsible for defining what they know, how they reason, and what they can do. The agents handle the execution while you provide the judgment and domain expertise. This is a startup inside a company with a history of bold bets and decades-long track record of innovation-driven growth. If the agentic transformation of software is something you want to lead, not watch, this is the role. Key Responsibilities You will own a product capability end to end, from architectural decisions through production outcomes, cutting through every layer: entry points, orchestration, intelligence, tools, data, and observability. Your work directly shapes how Augeo's clients engage tens of millions of users. You will build and ship mission-critical AI agents that drive revenue growth across finance, healthcare, telecom, and commerce. Not proof-of-concepts. Powerful, scalable systems running in production. Define how AI agents are built at Augeo. Drive the Agent Development Life Cycle (ADLC) from initial pilot through production iteration, setting the standard for how agents are developed, tested, evaluated, and improved. Build the shared platform: agent orchestration, agentic workflows, ML models, and data infrastructure that every product team at Augeo builds on. Work across Augeo with engineers, product leads, and end users to understand needs, close feedback loops, and ensure the platform compounds with every interaction. Shape the team. Participate in hiring and define the culture of an engineering org that is AI-native from day one.
