Join Centric Consulting – A Culture You’ll Love
At Centric Consulting, we've cultivated a unique approach to business. Our business is built on three fundamental principles: Enjoy the people you work with, have fun, and do great work. These principles define our consulting model and have crafted one of the most vibrant cultures in the consulting industry – celebrating individuals, collaboration, and lifelong friendships.
You'll be designing how agents, tools, and systems compose together to solve complex business problems. This is about understanding composition patterns, registry systems, and how to build reusable "Lego brick" components that can be combined in unexpected ways.
Unlike traditional software architecture, you're working with systems where the components can reason and adapt. Your job is creating the frameworks, patterns, and architectural principles that enable sophisticated agent workflows while maintaining reliability and composability.
The reality: You're architecting systems where intelligence is distributed across components that can think and adapt. Traditional patterns often don't apply. You'll be creating new approaches to system design while balancing flexibility with reliability.
In this role, you will:
Design composition patterns and registry systems that enable flexible agent orchestration across our AI agentic harness
Architect information flows, context management, and attention optimization across agent systems
Define and evolve reusable architectural patterns, frameworks, and best practices for common agent coordination needs across agentic systems
Design prompt rendering systems and progressive disclosure mechanisms
Balance system complexity with maintainability, debuggability, and token efficiency
Establish architectural standards and patterns for the broader development team
Design delegation patterns and multi-agent coordination protocols
Who You Are:
Must Have:
5-8 years’ experience systems architecture or platform engineering background
Experience designing complex, multi-component systems
Experience with Cloud deployments (Azure preferred)
Understanding of distributed systems concepts and data flow patterns
Solid programming skills (Python preferred) and ability to work across the stack
Experience with system integration and API design
Track record of learning new technologies and applying them effectively
Familiarity with generative AI frameworks, concepts, and capabilities
Highly Valuable:
Experience with workflow orchestration or event-driven architectures
Background with microservices, containerization, or cloud-native patterns
Experience with agent evaluation techniques
Knowledge of monitoring, logging, and observability in complex systems
Experience with performance optimization and scalability challenges
Preferred Requirements:
Experience with agent frameworks or multi-agent systems
Background in platform or infrastructure engineering
Knowledge of specific business domains and their technical requirements
Cultural Fit:
Systems thinker: You naturally see how components interact, compose, and influence each other
Pragmatic: You balance ideal designs with practical constraints, token limits, and performance requirements
Collaborative: You work closely with both technical teams and business stakeholders
Adaptable: You're comfortable with evolving requirements, emerging patterns, and rapid technology changes
Quality focused: You understand that architectural decisions have long-term consequences for maintainability and composability
Curious about AI: You're excited to explore how intelligent, adaptive systems change traditional architecture patterns
What We Offer All Roles:
Cutting-edge work: You'll be helping define how businesses use AI agents
Learning environment: Continuous exposure to new technologies and approaches
Impact: Your work directly enables new capabilities for clients and internal teams
Growth: As the field matures, you'll be positioned as an expert practitioner
Collaboration: Work with a small, highly skilled team where everyone's contribution matters
The Reality Check
This is early-stage, rapidly evolving technology. You'll be:
Figuring out best practices as you go
Learning new tools and approaches constantly
Debugging problems that don't have Stack Overflow answers yet
Creating solutions that didn't exist before
If you're looking for established, well-documented processes, this isn't the right fit. If you're excited about being at the forefront of a transformative technology, let's talk.
