AI Architect — Agentic AI & Intelligent Automation

About Intras Cloud Services & Intras AIIntras Cloud Services is an AI-forward cloud consulting and managed services firm specializing in Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID, and security & compliance solutions for mid‑market and enterprise clients. We are on a deliberate 10X growth trajectory — transforming from a boutique consultancy into a scalable, AI‑powered technology services company over the next five years. Intras AI is our dedicated AI practice — the innovation arm responsible for designing, building, and deploying the agentic AI systems that power both our internal operations and our client‑facing service offerings. While Intras AI operates under the IC S umbrella today, it is being built with the vision and trajectory of a standalone AI business. The AI Architect will be the technical cornerstone of this practice.We don't just sell AI readiness to our clients — we live it internally. Every team member is paired with dedicated AI partners as integrated tools in their daily workflow. AI is embedded in how we deliver, how we operate, and how we scale. This role is the engine behind that transformation. We are hiring our first AI Architect to own the design, development, and deployment of agentic AI systems across IC S operations and the Intras AI practice. This is a foundational leadership role — you will define our AI architecture, build and deploy intelligent agents, and directly shape how IC S evolves from a traditional consulting firm into a Managed Intelligence Provider. You will sit within the IC S, giving you immediate access to active client engagements, revenue‑generating projects, and real operational workloads to deploy against. Your charter and roadmap, however, are defined by the Intras AI vision — building a scalable, productized AI capability that will grow into its own business line over time. This is not a research role. We need someone who ships. You'll be expected to have agents running in production within your first 90 days.Key ResponsibilitiesDesign and implement the agentic AI architecture for both IC S internal operations and Intras AI's client-facing offerings — agent frameworks, orchestration layers, tool integrations, and deployment pipelinesBuild, train, and deploy AI agents that automate internal operations including project delivery, documentation generation, client onboarding, alerting, and service desk triageDevelop AI-powered service offerings and productized solutions under the Intras AI brand, including AI Readiness Assessments and intelligent automation engagementsEstablish governance, monitoring, and continuous improvement frameworks for deployed agentsCollaborate directly with the CEO and engineering team to align AI development with the company's 10X growth roadmapEvaluate and integrate emerging AI platforms, LLMs, and automation tools into the company's technology stackCreate repeatable agent deployment patterns that can scale across client engagements and eventually stand alone as Intras AI productsDefine KPIs and measure the business impact of deployed AI systems — cost savings, time reduction, revenue enablementHelp build the business case and operational foundation for Intras AI to operate as a standalone entity as the practice maturesRequirements5+ years of experience in AI/ML engineering, intelligent automation, or applied AI architectureHands‑on experience building and deploying agentic AI systems, autonomous workflows, or multi‑agent orchestrationStrong proficiency in Python and modern AI/ML frameworksExperience with LLM integration, prompt engineering, RAG architectures, and API‑driven agent toolingAbility to connect technical AI work directly to business outcomes — you think in ROI, not just accuracy metricsSelf‑directed and able to deliver in a small‑team, high‑autonomy environmentExcellent communication skills — you can explain AI concepts to clients and executives, not just engineersPreferred QualificationsExperience in an MSP, SI, or professional services environmentFamiliarity with Microsoft cloud ecosystem (Azure AI, Copilot extensibility, Microsoft 365)Background in building AI products or SaaS platformsExperience with workflow automation platforms and integration toolsPrior experience as a first or early AI hire — you know how to build from zeroWhat Sets You ApartYou ship agents, not slide decks — your portfolio includes AI systems running in production todayYou think in business impact: your first deployed agents should pay for themselves within months, not yearsYou're energized by building from scratch and don't need a large team to start deliveringYou understand that governance and monitoring matter as much as deploymentYou want to build an AI practice from the ground up — with the backing of an established services company and a clear path to leading a standalone AI businessBenefitsWhy This Role — The Opportunity AheadBuild the AI practice: Greenfield opportunity to architect the entire agentic AI capability for a company that's betting its future on it — with a clear trajectory toward Intras AI becoming its own entityFunded by real revenue: Unlike an unfunded startup, you'll sit inside the IC S with active clients, live projects, and operational workflows to deploy against from day one10X growth trajectory: IC S is transforming into a Managed Intelligence Provider over five years — you'll architect the AI systems that make that possibleDirect CEO access: Work alongside a CEO who understands AI, uses it daily, and will remove every obstacle in your pathClient‑facing impact: Your work won't sit in a lab — it will power real client engagements and generate revenue immediatelyEquity in outcomes: Performance bonuses tied to the measurable impact of your AI deploymentsApplication ProcessTo apply, please submit your resume and a brief portfolio or summary of 2–3 agentic AI or intelligent automation systems you personally designed and deployed to production.
