Location: Hyderabad, India. Based at the KnackLabs headquarters, with occasional travel to client locations for workshops and reviews. This role does not involve extended onsite deployments.

About the Role

You will work as an AI Architect who designs the systems behind our client engagements: AI agents, RAG systems, automation platforms, and the conventional backend systems around them.

This is a hands-on design role, not a slideware role. You will scope architectures with clients, make the hard technical decisions, defend them in review, and stay accountable for how the systems perform in production.

You will work directly with clients. Everyone at KnackLabs does. You will sit in design discussions with client engineering teams, present architecture decisions to technical and business stakeholders, and answer for the choices you make.

A full KnackLabs engineering team in Hyderabad builds with you. You own the technical design and the quality of what ships.

What you'll own

1. Architecture - Design AI agents, RAG systems, integrations, and the scalable backend systems around them, for multiple client engagements.
2. Technical scoping - Work directly with clients to turn a business problem into a system design, with clear trade-offs and clear reasons.
3. Scale and reliability - Make sure what we build handles real load: data stores, queues, caching, horizontal scaling, and fault tolerance.
4. Design reviews - Review designs and builds across engagements. Set the technical bar and hold it.
5. Evaluation strategy - Define how we measure accuracy, safety, latency, and cost for the AI systems we ship.
6. Guiding engineers - Raise the level of the engineers building with you, through reviews and direct pairing.
7. Feedback to the platform - Feed what you learn across engagements back into our platform and internal tools.

What we are looking for

1. Around 7 or more years of software engineering experience, including direct work with customers on design or delivery.
2. Full-stack development experience with strength in backend technologies.
3. Experience designing and building scalable applications. You understand how large-scale distributed systems work: data partitioning, queues, caching, horizontal scaling, and fault tolerance.
4. At least 2 years of strong, hands-on AI experience with large language models in production.
5. You build with AI coding tools like Claude Code or Codex as your default way of working. You understand Claude Skills, have written skills yourself, use them actively, and have contributed to them.
6. Hands-on experience building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems: chunking, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval, and reranking.
7. Hands-on experience building AI agents.
8. Strong programming skills in Python. Working knowledge of TypeScript or JavaScript.
9. Experience with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
10. Clear communication. You can explain an architecture decision to an engineer and to a business leader, and defend it under questioning.
11. High ownership and comfort with ambiguity. You can take an unclear problem and turn it into a design.

Nice to have

1. Experience building evaluations to measure accuracy, safety, latency, and cost.
2. Experience with observability and tracing tools such as LangSmith or Braintrust.
3. Experience with on-premises or private cloud (VPC) deployments.
4. Experience deploying AI systems in regulated industries such as insurance, banking, or the public sector.
5. Experience with data engineering and pipelines.
6. A history of side projects, open source contributions, or products you shipped end-to-end.
7. Experience working at a consulting or professional services firm in a client-facing delivery role.

Stack and tools

1. Languages: Python and TypeScript.
2. Models: Claude and other frontier or open-source models, chosen to fit the customer.
3. AI patterns: RAG, agents, prompt engineering, skills, and evaluations.
4. Vector and retrieval: vector databases and retrieval pipelines.
5. Cloud: AWS, Azure, or GCP, on public or private cloud.
6. Integration: REST APIs and enterprise system connectors.

About us

MyRico builds personal AI agents for enterprise, the copilots and digital employees that make humans more productive. The MyRico agents sit at the intersection of enterprise memory, high-end security, and an ever-expanding set of capabilities. We're a small team shipping fast, and the product is live with real customers today.

The role

Full-time · Bangalore

You'll own the systems that make an autonomous agent trustworthy in production. This is not just prompt engineering, and it's not model training - it's that and all the engineering layers in between: model steering, memory architecture, orchestration design, latency optimization, deterministic vs non-deterministic systems tradeoff, deployment, and operator tooling.

Concretely, the kind of work you'd have done here last week would include enhancing agent memory systems, runtime and scheduling reliability and predictability, adding new capability and tools to deployed agents, operator tools, live system debugging and benchmarking various models for price, latency and quality. And that is just last week. We are a small nimble startup rapidly working to address customer needs in this growing space, so things change rapidly.

What we're looking for

• More than 7 years of software engineering, with real production ownership of distributed or stateful systems - you've been paged for something you built and made it not happen again.
• Strong understanding of LLM based native app building, combining classic and model driven applications to get the best of both. You've built on LLMs beyond demos: agent frameworks, tool use, context management, eval fixtures, and you know why "it worked in the transcript" isn't evidence.
• Python and shell in production settings; comfortable in TypeScript/Node. You write boring, testable code and prefer the standard library to a new dependency.
• Systems taste: append-only logs, idempotent reconciliation, fold-the-events state machines, and read-only debugging surfaces feel like home.
• Evidence discipline: tests before features, claims backed by quoted observations, decisions written down.

Nice to have

• Experience running the combination of multi-tenant and single-tenant / on-prem-style fleets with ability to handle per-customer isolation, upgrade paths, migration compatibility in both setups.
• Security instincts for products that touch highly sensitive data and systems, including things like executives' email, calendars, and messages: least privilege, loopback-only services, secrets that never hit a log.
• You already orchestrate AI coding agents in your own workflow and have opinions about where they break.

How we work

Small team, high trust, written decisions. Designs get adversarial review before code; PRs get automated review driven to zero open findings; features aren't done until verified on a live system. AI agents do a large share of the implementation, your leverage is judgment: framing the problem, freezing the right design, and knowing when the machine is wrong.
