Lead AI System Architect

About the Position

EIS is seeking a Lead AI System Architect to design multi-agent systems for automating insurance workflows. Role involves defining patterns, frameworks, and standards for agent orchestration and safety.

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture of EIS's agentic platform: agent orchestration, MCP-native tool ecosystems, agent memory (short-term, long-term, semantic), planning, and tool/function calling patterns reusable across product domains.
• Enable and provide support for domain teams for vertical insurance agents and the horizontal capabilities (RAG, retrieval, instructional flows) they compose from.
• Define and enforce levels of autonomy - assistive, semi-autonomous, autonomous - with explicit human-in-the-loop checkpoints, escalation paths, and reversibility for high-stakes actions in regulated workflows.
• Drive the MCP strategy: which capabilities EIS exposes as MCP servers to internal and partner agents, how our agents consume external MCP tools, and the tool registry, schemas, and versioning that keep this scalable.
• Maintain the multiple stack approach as a first-class capability: Typescript, and Java. Help teams to pick the right stack per agent and keep all aligned through shared configuration artefacts, prompt management, and evaluation tooling.
• Lead Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for agentic capabilities; partner with Platform, Security/InfoSec, and DevOps so agents are observable, testable, sandboxed, and compliant by default.
• Drive AI DevOps for agents: trace capture and replay, eval harnesses (task success, tool-use correctness, regression), prompt and model versioning, cost and latency budgets per agent, and progressive rollout strategies.
• Set safe-AI standards for agentic systems: prompt injection and tool-poisoning defenses, action allow-lists, blast-radius controls, PII handling, data residency, and bias mitigation. Treat agent safety as a first-class architectural concern.
• Translate insurance use cases into production agent designs with product strategists and domain architects; provide technical leadership and mentorship; communicate agentic trade-offs (autonomy, reliability, cost, safety) clearly to executives, customers, and engineers.

Requirements

• Proven track record designing and shipping agentic systems in production - not demos, not prototypes - with meaningful autonomy and multi-step tool use.
• Strong systems background: data-intensive, distributed, and latency-sensitive design in production environments.
• Deep, hands-on experience with agent patterns: orchestration, planning, ReAct-style and graph-based agents, agent memory, tool/function calling, MCP, structured outputs. Sharp instinct for when an agent is the right answer and when a deterministic workflow is. Tracks the frontier and translates what matters into the roadmap.
• Strong with the Java/Spring ecosystem.
• Strong with Typescript and Python for AI (LangChain, LangGraph, or equivalent agent framework) - production experience required. Equally comfortable in both stacks.
• Hands-on with vector databases including embedding models, hybrid search, re-ranking, and retrieval evaluation.
• Experience with agent evaluation and observability: traces, replays, eval harnesses, guardrails, and cost/latency telemetry. Familiar with AI configuration-as-code.
• Experience shipping AI services on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) in regulated enterprise environments - security review, data residency, audit trails.
• Familiarity with insurance, financial services, or another regulated domain is a plus.
• Strong architectural judgment - pragmatic about build vs. buy, vendor vs. in-house, agent vs. deterministic workflow, model choice, and total cost of ownership.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; able to make agentic trade-offs accessible to non-AI audiences.
• Advanced degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, or a related field - or equivalent practical experience.

We Offer

• Work with top talent and great colleagues who are industry and technology experts.
• Operate in a Scaled Agile environment, diverse, multicultural and cross-functional teams.
• We are a global and modern software product company building world-class Enterprise InsurtTech Product powered by leading-edge technologies (microservices, reactive, cloud, continuous delivery).
• Flexible working hours and a modern office located in the center of Warsaw.
• 3 extra days off.
• Employee referral program.
• Employment based on Umowa o Pracę.

Incentives and Benefits

• Remote work compensation, in line with Polish labor regulations.
• English and Polish language classes.

Benefits

• Health insurance (Medicover).
• Sports compensation (MultiSport).
• KUP for eligible roles.
