Senior individual-contributor role on the Architecture and Components team; works alongside a multidisciplinary group (UI, UX, AI Engineering, Full Stack, Architecture) within a globally distributed organization. This role does not manage people.

Organizational Context

As BMS Product Development & Supply (PDS) accelerates delivery of digital products and digital workers through Fusion Teams and scales adoption via Intelligence Hub, the organization requires clear ownership of architecture, reusable components, and technical decision-rights.

The Analytics & AI Enablement (A&AIE) Architecture & Components Team is a highly technical team responsible for defining how digital solutions are built, ensuring they are scalable, operable, and future-ready through PDS Aim Points, with ambitions to revolutionize PDS use of AI by 2030–2035. Rather than delivering individual use cases, this team establishes and stewards the shared architectural foundations and components — including those used for the foundational data pipelines, analytical models, and business-facing reports and dashboards — that enable broad, consistent execution across PDS.

Position Summary

This senior individual-contributor role will architect and build the shared, full-stack platform that powers analytics, digital products, and digital workers across PDS. The role focuses on distributed, multi-service systems that combine an orchestration layer, autonomous agents, shared services, and a federated frontend into a single internal platform-as-a-service — treated as reusable foundations rather than one-off use cases.

You will work end to end, from async backend services and APIs through to modern web frontends, and you will design platforms that go beyond conversational interfaces to deliver autonomous analytical workflows, standardized tool-calling, and composable UI experiences. This is a deeply hands-on, principal-level technical authority role; you set the bar through architecture, reference implementations, and engineering excellence.

Key Responsibilities

Platform & Multi-Service System Architecture

• Architect distributed, multi-service platforms that orchestrate work across autonomous services and agents, with conditional routing, parallel execution, and error recovery.

• Design the platform as an internal SaaS/PaaS: shared SDKs, service contracts, and reusable components that solution teams consume rather than rebuild.

• Build graph-based orchestration workflows combining LLM reasoning, business logic, real-time data integration, and enterprise security patterns.

• Create reusable node/component libraries and extensible platform patterns supporting multiple business domains.

Backend Development & API Design

• Build production FastAPI (or similar) applications with async I/O patterns for persistence and external services.

• Implement Server-Sent Events (SSE) and Web Socket protocols for real-time streaming responses.

• Design APIs and event-driven architectures for orchestration and service-to-service communication.

• Develop robust error handling, graceful degradation, and enterprise security integration (SSO, access control), deploying containerized services via CI/CD.

Frontend & Unified Experience

• Build modern web frontends (e.g., React) and design…
