Key responsibilities
Own the architecture of the agent-facing interface the semantic layer beneath it and the controls around it and keep the design coherent as separate teams build into it.

Adjudicate between competing technical approaches where more than one team is solving the same problem and make the call.
Define the evaluation approach that decides whether the layer is good enough to expose and set the standard the engineering teams build to.
Establish the security and governance model for agent access covering identity entitlements isolation between customers and safe defaults.
Work with product management platform engineering and the AI teams to sequence the build against a delivery roadmap.
Represent the architecture to senior technical stakeholders inside IFS to customers and to partners.

Track record of owning the architecture of a production platform at enterprise scale through delivery rather than on paper.
Deep API and interface design experience including versioning backward compatibility and deprecation across a large consumer base.
Hands-on experience with AI systems that call tools or functions in production and a clear view of where they fail.
Experience with semantic modelling knowledge graphs or ontologies over an existing product or data estate.
Security and multi-tenancy design experience: identity entitlements isolation between customers.
Able to hold a technical position with senior stakeholders and change it on evidence.
Desirable
Experience of enterprise application platforms and their extension or integration models.
Published or public technical work: standards contributions open source conference talks.
