Designation:
Principal Consultant
- Agentic AI, Integration & API Architecture

Employment Type:

Full-time

Experience:

10+ years

We are seeking an experienced Principal Consultant
- Agentic AI, Integration & API Architecture to help shape and lead our growing capabilities around enterprise Agentic AI. This is a senior, client-facing consulting and architecture role focused on helping organisations move from AI experimentation to secure, governed, and production-ready agentic architectures. The role spans Agentic Architecture, Agent Control Planes, AI Gateways, MCP/A2A, Agentic Security & Governance, Observability and Agentic Quality Engineering, alongside enterprise integration and API architecture.

As Agentic AI is an emerging field, we do not expect candidates to have many years of production experience across all these areas. We particularly welcome experienced Enterprise Integration, API, or Solution Architects who have strong UK consulting experience and have developed credible knowledge and practical exposure to Agentic AI.

• Act as a trusted advisor to CIO, CTO, Enterprise Architecture, Integration, API, and Engineering stakeholders.
• Lead discovery workshops, architecture assessments, and technical strategy engagements.
• Define target architectures and pragmatic roadmaps for moving Agentic AI from experimentation into enterprise production.
• Advise clients on where Agentic AI provides genuine value versus conventional integration, APIs, or workflow automation.

Design and advise on architectures covering:

• AI agents and multi-agent systems
• Agent orchestration and Control Planes
• AI/model gateways and model routing
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Agent-to-Agent (A2A)
• Agent/tool discovery and registries
• Agent identity and delegated identity
• Human-in-the-loop controls
• Context engineering and RAG
• Agent observability, auditability and cost management
• Agentic Security and Governance
• Agentic Quality Engineering
• Hybrid and multi-cloud agent architectures

Assess how platforms such as Boomi, Mule Soft, Workato, Kong, Google Apigee and Azure API Management fit within emerging enterprise agentic architectures.

Apply strong enterprise architecture principles across API management, iPaaS, event-driven architecture, application/data integration, microservices, cloud/hybrid integration, security, observability and operational resilience.

• Help define Neos Alpha's Agentic AI propositions, methodologies and reference architectures.
• Support pre-sales discovery, solutioning and proposals.
• Build agentic PoCs and demos on agent frameworks like Google ADK, Lang Chain, Lang Graph.
• Present recommendations to senior client stakeholders.
• Develop thought leadership, workshops, and client demonstrations.
• Work with technology partners and Neos Alpha engineering teams.
• Mentor architects and consultants as the practice develops.
• Identify opportunities to extend existing Integration, API, Data, and QA engagements into Agentic AI.

We are looking for candidates with approximately 10+ years of relevant technology experience, including significant architecture and consulting responsibility.

• Strong experience as an Enterprise Architect, Solution Architect, Integration/API Architect, Principal Consultant, or equivalent.
• Strong enterprise integration and/or API architecture background.
• Demonstrable experience working directly with enterprise clients in the UK market.
• Ability to independently lead architecture and discovery workshops.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication with senior technology leaders.
• Good understanding of cloud-native/distributed architecture, security, governance,…
