Impactful Role shaping how the company moves forward Growth Opportunities: Advance your career in a fast-paced, innovative industry Hybrid role: 3 days per week in our state-of-the-art London office plus access to the onsite gym (including towel serviced showers and changing facilities) The Opportunity The AI Orchestration Architect is a hybrid business & technical role responsible for designing, implementing, orchestrating and optimising intelligent AI systems composed of agents, workflows and prompts. This role sits at the intersection of multi-agent orchestration, workflow design, prompt engineering and system reliability. You will translate ambiguous human goals into precise AI instructions, architect reusable prompt and agent frameworks, and ensure that AI agents collaborate safely, predictably, and efficiently at scale. Acting as both a linguistic architect and a systems orchestrator, you will enable reliable human–AI and agent–agent workflows across the organisation. This role is critical to scaling AI-driven automation while maintaining clarity, safety, and performance in a rapidly evolving ecosystem. Key Responsibilities 1. Agent Network & Workflow Orchestration Design, configure, and maintain AI agent networks, including roles, capabilities, scopes, and handoff logic. Define how prompts, tools, agents, and humans interact within end-to-end systems. Ensure agents are aligned with business goals and operate within clear boundaries. Implement modular, reusable agent components across workflows. 2. Interaction Protocols & Governance Define interaction rules between agents (communication patterns, delegation logic, escalation paths). Establish guardrails, validation steps, and safety mechanisms for agent-to-agent and agent-to-human interactions. Maintain clear documentation of protocols, decision logic, and system diagrams. Promote responsible AI use, including bias mitigation and safe output practices. 3. Prompt & Agent Framework Management Build and maintain centralised prompt and agent libraries. Develop versioning, testing, and evaluation frameworks for prompts and agents. Maintain auditable records of changes, experiments, and system decisions. Ensure adherence to organisational standards for quality, safety, and performance. 4. Prompt Engineering & Instruction Architecture Design sophisticated prompt chains for multi-step and multi-agent workflows. Translate human requirements into structured, high-reliability AI instructions. Create reusable prompt templates, patterns, macros, and system messages. Optimise prompt clarity, constraints, and instruction hierarchies to drive consistent outputs. 5. Monitoring, Evaluation & System Health Monitor real-time agent behaviour, workflows, and cross-agent dependencies. Detect emergent behaviours—both beneficial and risky—and intervene when systems deviate from expectations. Track system health metrics, failure modes, anomalies, and performance trends. Collaborate with engineering and product teams to improve observability and monitoring tooling. 6. Continuous Optimisation & Improvement Analyse logs, metrics, and outputs to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies. Tune prompts, agent logic, interfaces, and workflows to reduce error rates and improve reliability. Run experiments, A/B tests, regression tests, and evaluation suites. Participate in post-mortems to develop systemic fixes for workflow failures. 7. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Enablement Partner with product, data, engineering, and operations teams to deeply understand context and intent. Translate non-technical goals into precise AI-usable systems. Provide guidance, training, and best practices for prompt and agent design. Support new agent deployments and ensure seamless integration with existing systems. Provide insights to leadership on system performance, stability, and emerging trends. About You You will thrive in this role if you are: Exceptionally strong in written communication, logic, and structuring complex ideas. A systems thinker who enjoys designing modular, reusable architectures. Comfortable experimenting with AI systems and observing subtle behaviour changes. Detail-oriented, with a strong focus on safety, reliability, and predictability. Experience & Qualifications Experience 2–6 years working with LLMs, AI systems, workflow automation, software engineering, applied ML, or prompt engineering. Experience designing AI workflows, agent systems, or orchestration logic. Background in UX writing, technical writing, linguistics, scripting, or systems design is a plus. Exposure to multi-agent systems or orchestration platforms preferred but not required. Technical Skills Strong understanding of LLM behaviour, prompt engineering, and instruction design. Familiarity with agent architectures, multi-agent systems, and orchestration concepts. Ability to analyse logs, metrics, and anomalous system behaviour. Familiarity with APIs, workflow tools, and system integration concepts.
