## Job description

## The Role

We are seeking an industry-leading Principal Solution Architect to design the architectural strategy for enterprise multi-cloud platforms and next-generation AI initiatives at financial firms. In this elite role, you will bring Obin’s agentic capabilities and land them within the complex technical environments of leading financial institutions. You will design distributed multi-cloud architectures (GCP, AWS, Azure) capable of running high-throughput data pipelines, optimizing latency of LLM calls, and orchestrating state-of-the-art Agentic AI workflows (collaborative multi-agent protocols, generative storytelling, and autonomous task delegation). You are a technical visionary who translates non-deterministic agentic capabilities and complex distributed computing into robust production software.

## Key Responsibilities

- Agentic AI & Collaborative Frameworks: Design and build autonomous, multi-agent ecosystems. Implement cutting-edge agent-to-agent (A2A) orchestration protocols, enabling secure task delegation, runtime state handoffs, and collaborative workflows without context pollution.
- Generative AI: Architect infrastructure to support sophisticated Generative AI applications, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), voice agents, streaming agent output, and vector database routing.
- Multi-Cloud Infrastructure & Kubernetes Mastery: Build, secure, and scale containerized applications and microservices topologies natively across Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure. Establish highly declarative environments using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and advanced Kubernetes orchestration (GKE, EKS).
- Distributed Enterprise Data Pipelines: Architect decoupled data ecosystem frameworks to ingest and shard massive streams of structured and unstructured data. Run distributed processing engines like Apache Spark on Kubernetes alongside cloud-native data warehouses (BigQuery, Snowflake).
- Technical Advocacy & Inner-Sourcing: Champion technical excellence by publishing reusable blueprints, reference code architectures, and technical documentation. Act as a cross-functional leader aligning research teams, core engineering, and executive stakeholders.

Required Skills & Experience

1. Agentic AI & Generative Engineering

- Advanced AI Paradigms: Proven experience architecting multi-agent orchestration frameworks, prompt-routing middleware, and self-correcting agent loops.
- AI architectures: Experience with implementing RAG systems, agent harnesses, deep research agents and other agentic workflows

1. Multi-Cloud & Enterprise Data Foundations

- Distributed Systems: Expert-level knowledge running heavy analytical workloads (e.g., Spark, Airflow) natively inside containerized ecosystems (Kubernetes).
- Cloud Topologies: Comprehensive, production-level engineering experience across at least two hyperscalers (GCP or AWS or Azure).
- Data Mechanics: Strong grasp of modern data storage paradigms, including columnar storage, vector indexing, and automated data lake governance.

1. Leadership & Vision

- Experience acting as a CTO, Principal Architect, or Strategic Lead driving large-scale digital transformations or public-sector AI cloud implementations.
- Strong background in developer advocacy, open-source contributions, or technical publication.

## About Obin AI

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Obin AI builds production-grade AI agents that automate complex workflows for regulated financial institutions, enabling them to scale capacity without adding headcount.
- **Entity Type**: Private (seed stage)
- **Headquarters**: New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Apoorv Saxena (CEO, Co-founder) and Dr. Valliappa "Lak" Lakshmanan (CTO, Co-founder)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Enterprise AI for financial services (asset management, wealth management, insurance, underwriting, portfolio monitoring, origination, claims)
- **Target customers**: B2B – large financial institutions (top-tier banks, asset managers, insurers)
- **Mission**: "Expand institutional capacity without expanding headcount, enabling financial institutions to deploy capital faster, price risk more precisely, and operate with real-time insight that was previously impossible." [obin.ai/about](https://www.obin.ai/about)

## Products & Services
- **Obin Agentic Platform**: End-to-end platform to reimagine, build, and manage production-grade AI agents inside a client’s own environment. Modular, governed, and composable.
- **Robin Agents**: Regulated AI agents trained on domain expertise to execute complex financial workflows (underwriting, due diligence, IC memo creation, wealth advisor enablement, claims processing) with full traceability and auditability.
- **Obin Financial Agent for Gemini Enterprise**: A pre-built agent available on Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise for Financial Services, already in production at a major U.S. life insurer and a private credit fund. [obin.ai/post](https://obin.ai/post/obin-ai-emerges-from-stealth)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not publicly available (seed stage)
- **Total Funding**: Seed round led by Motive Partners (amount undisclosed)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Motive Partners (lead), angel advisors Dr. Fei‑Fei Li and Lukasz Kaiser; partner with Google Cloud (Gemini Enterprise for Financial Services)
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Engagements with institutions managing over $1 trillion in assets
  - Deployments move from pilot to production in weeks
  - 18 employees (as of 2025) [builtin.com](https://builtin.com/company/obin-ai)
  - Already live in top‑three global financial institutions

## Competitive Advantages
- **Finance‑first engineering**: Built by alumni of JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Silver Lake, Google – deep domain expertise in both AI and regulated finance.
- **Governance by design**: Every agent output is traceable, auditable, and reversible; role‑based permissions and built‑in fail‑safes satisfy compliance teams.
- **Open architecture**: Transparent, modular design that runs inside the client’s environment – client owns data, models, and IP.
- **Edge‑case mastery**: Agents are trained on the exceptions and nuance that define financial workflows, not just routine 80% tasks.

## Strategic Focus
- Deepen deployments with existing clients and expand to the next tier of global financial institutions.
- Continue to build the platform’s compounding learning effect – when one institution solves a workflow, the architecture improves for all.
- Scale the agentic workforce across asset management, wealth management, and insurance verticals.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Early‑stage startup (seed) tackling hard, production‑grade AI problems for high‑stakes environments. Emphasis on judgment, governance, and speed.
- **Work policy**: Hybrid – 4 days per week in the New York office. [obin.ai/careers](https://www.obin.ai/careers)
- **Team**: Advised by Dr. Fei‑Fei Li and Lukasz Kaiser; founded by former Google AI and JPMorgan executives.
- **Perks**: Not explicitly listed, but the engineering culture emphasizes building production systems that financial institutions can trust – a rare combination of AI research and institutional rigor.
