Job Description AI Architect – Pioneer the Future of Deterministic AI-to-AGI Systems Our client, is revolutionizing enterprise AI as the first company to deliver a non-LLM based, real-time, multi-threaded AI-to-AGI management platform that transforms siloed data into actionable intelligence. About the Organization Our client is an Oregon-based AI technology innovator developing the industry's first deterministic, self-learning AI-to-AGI platform designed specifically for enterprise deployment. Unlike probabilistic LLM-based systems, approach eliminates hallucinations, ensures complete auditability, and delivers real-time decisions enterprises can trust. The Advantage Deterministic AI Engine: Built on a Hierarchical Reasoning Model (HRM), provides safe, auditable, and repeatable decisions—eliminating the hallucinations and unpredictability inherent in LLMs. Self-Learning Without Training Data: The platform learns by observing knowledge workers' activities and network traffic, eliminating the need for massive training datasets while ensuring complete data privacy with zero information leakage. Real-Time Multi-Threaded Intelligence: Delivers millisecond-response performance for business-critical applications, unlocking and harmonizing siloed data across enterprise systems in real-time. Built-In Governance & Policy Enforcement: Inherent compliance frameworks unify governance across departments, preventing non-compliant behavior before it happens and providing complete traceability. Autonomous Adaptation: Continuously updates its knowledge base as enterprise operations evolve—no retraining required—adapting to your operational fingerprint while you maintain full control. Enterprise-Grade Integration: Seamlessly integrates with existing infrastructure, enabling rapid deployment while forming the core of a unified AI-driven cybersecurity and operational platform. The Opportunity We're seeking an exceptional AI Architect to lead the technical vision for the next generation of deterministic AI-to-AGI systems. This is a transformative leadership role where you'll architect solutions that fundamentally reimagine how enterprises leverage AI—moving beyond the limitations of LLMs to create systems that are predictable, transparent, auditable, and truly intelligent. You'll design architectures that bridge symbolic reasoning, deterministic algorithms, and advanced hierarchical models to solve problems traditional AI cannot address: real-time decision-making in regulated environments, verifiable compliance, and continuous adaptation without the astronomical costs and risks of LLM-based approaches. This role combines hands-on technical leadership with strategic architectural vision as the company scales from innovative startup to enterprise AI leader. You'll build systems that matter—protecting enterprises from compliance failures, reducing investigation costs, and enabling the safe deployment of AI across mission-critical operations. Location Flexibility: We're building a world-class distributed team with both domestic (US-based, remote) and international talent as we prepare for hypergrowth. What You'll Do • Architect AI-to-AGI Systems: Define and evolve the end-to-end architecture for deterministic, multi-threaded AI-to-AGI platform, ensuring systems scale from real-time enterprise operations to advanced reasoning capabilities, • Transform Enterprise Data: Design architectures that unlock siloed data across heterogeneous enterprise systems, harmonizing different formats and enabling real-time intelligent orchestration, • Embed Governance by Design: Build architectural patterns that make compliance, auditability, and policy enforcement intrinsic to every system component—not bolt-on features, • Bridge Research and Production: Partner with research and product teams to translate innovations in symbolic reasoning, hierarchical models, and deterministic AI into production-grade enterprise solutions, • Champion Deterministic Intelligence: Establish best practices for reproducibility, verification, and traceability across data pipelines, reasoning engines, and deployment environments, • Lead Technical Decision-Making: Conduct architectural reviews, evaluate technologies, and make critical infrastructure and framework decisions that balance innovation with enterprise reliability, • Scale Engineering Excellence: Mentor and guide engineering teams through hands-on technical leadership while shaping a culture of rigor, innovation, and customer-centricity, • Build the Technical Roadmap: Develop and communicate a multi-year architectural vision that aligns with business objectives, customer needs in regulated industries, and the path toward AGI capabilities Required Qualifications • 10+ years of software engineering experience with 5+ years in architectural or technical leadership roles, • Deep AI/ML systems expertise: Proven experience architecting AI/ML platforms, distributed systems, or high-scale enterprise software, • Deterministic & symbolic AI knowledge: Strong understanding of deterministic algorithms, symbolic reasoning, rule-based systems, constraint satisfaction, or hybrid AI approaches, • Reproducibility & verification experience: Demonstrated success implementing verifiable AI methods, explainability frameworks, or formal correctness guarantees, • Multi-threaded systems: Experience designing real-time, concurrent, or parallel processing architectures with performance-critical requirements, • Strategic + hands-on balance: Ability to move seamlessly between writing code, solving complex technical challenges, and defining long-term architectural strategy, • Regulated & safety-critical domains: Background in industries where determinism and auditability are non-negotiable—financial services, healthcare, aerospace, defense, autonomous systems, or industrial control, • Formal methods & verification: Experience with theorem proving, model checking, correctness proofs, or formal specification of AI systems, • Enterprise data integration: Architecting systems that harmonize heterogeneous data sources, handle real-time data transformation, or unify siloed enterprise systems, • Governance & compliance architecture: Building platforms with native policy enforcement, audit trails, and regulatory compliance capabilities, • Startup-to-scale journey: Track record building technical foundations and teams from early-stage through hypergrowth phases, • Real-time & low-latency systems: Expertise optimizing for millisecond-response requirements in production environments, • AGI research or philosophy: Understanding of the technical and theoretical pathways from narrow AI to artificial general intelligence, • First-mover advantage: Architect the first non-LLM AI-to-AGI platform designed for enterprise—define what trustworthy, intelligent systems look like at scale, • Solve unsolvable problems: Address challenges that LLMs fundamentally cannot—deterministic reasoning, real-time adaptation, verifiable compliance, and cost-effective enterprise AI, • Architectural ownership: Shape the technical foundation of a company positioned to transform how enterprises approach AI governance and decision-making, • Real-world impact: Build systems that protect enterprises from catastrophic compliance failures, reduce legal risks, and enable safe AI deployment in critical environments, • Hypergrowth potential: Join before major funding milestones hit, with the opportunity to scale both technology and team exponentially, • Base Salary: highly competitive and openly negotiable for exceptional candidates, • Location Flexibility: Remote options for US-based and international talent Ready to Architect the Future of Enterprise AI? If you're passionate about building deterministic AI systems that go beyond today's LLM limitations, thrive at the intersection of theoretical innovation and production engineering, and want to define what AI-to-AGI means for the enterprise—we need to talk. We're looking for senior architects who can think in terms of both AGI potential and enterprise reality, who understand that true intelligence requires determinism, not just probability. Oue client is an equal opportunity employer committed to building diverse, world-class teams that reflect the enterprises we serve. This role demands exceptional technical depth, architectural vision, and leadership presence.
