Sr. Principal Software Architect (GenAI Applications and Agentic Systems) in Gaithersburg, MD, USA (Hybrid)

The AI Engineering and Enablement organization leads Open Text's AI innovation strategy, shaping how generative and agentic AI are transformed into real products and customer-facing solutions. We work across product, engineering, and research to deliver AI capabilities that power intelligent content, secure workflows, and enterprise-scale automation across Open Text's portfolio.

Our focus goes beyond platforms and tooling to building AI products, experiences, and shared foundations that accelerate innovation while maintaining the trust, security, and governance required in enterprise and regulated environments. From agentic development and orchestration to AI-powered solutions built on trusted content, we enable Open Text teams and customers to realize the full potential of AI at scale.

As a Sr. Principal Software Architect (GenAI Applications and Agentic Systems), you will serve as a senior engineer responsible for designing, building, and extending the agentic runtimes, orchestration flows, and shared GenAI services that form the backbone of our AI platform strategy. You will lead the implementation of reusable GenAI components such as agent frameworks, RAG pipelines, vector-augmented retrieval services, and semantic memory.

You will work in close partnership with architects and fellow engineers to productionalize fast-moving incubation efforts, extend orchestration frameworks, and enable scalable agentic solutions that can be reused across products and deployment environments.

This is a hands-on role for an experienced AI systems engineer who can take ownership of complex capabilities, deliver robust implementations, and contribute directly to the enablement of AI-powered applications across Open Text.

As a Principal Software Architect (GenAI Applications and Agentic Systems), you will:

• Designing and developing production-ready components for GenAI applications, including agent workflows, tool execution layers, vector search integrations, and memory modules.
• Implementing and optimizing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, including embeddings, hybrid retrieval, and contextual grounding.
• Building reusable agent runtimes and orchestration logic
  , using frameworks like Lang Chain, Lang Graph, CrewAI, or equivalent.
• Participating in the development of multi-agent patterns
  , including asynchronous workflows and Agent-to-Agent (A2A) coordination.
• Contributing to the integration of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for standardized agent-to-tool and resource interactions.
• Extending and integrating semantic reasoning into agent flows using knowledge graphs or other structured sources.
• Collaborating with architects and cross-functional teams to translate high-level designs into modular, maintainable code.
• Supporting internal enablement by delivering reference implementations, engineering documentation, and code-level onboarding materials.

• Writing clean, modular Python code using FastAPI
  , with a strong understanding of system integration and runtime performance.
• Applying and adapting frameworks such as Lang Chain, Lang Graph, CrewAI
  , or other orchestration platforms to enterprise use cases.
• Designing agent workflows that incorporate tools, memory, vector search, structured reasoning
  , and secure execution.
• Understanding and implementing A2A interaction flows and integrating agents with tools and resources using MCP
  .
• Building scalable RAG systems, and optimizing embedding usage, query strategies, and semantic relevance scoring.
• Working across the full development lifecycle from prototype to hardened implementation, with strong test and monitoring practices.
• Collaborating with teams working in Java and Type Script environments, contributing to cross-language integration and API design.
• Mentoring developers and reviewing pull requests to uphold engineering standards across agentic codebases.
