We are looking for an Agentic AI Orchestration Architect to join a Contract engagement supporting a retail visual production team in Corte Madera, California. In this role, you will assess how work moves across creative operations, connect existing AI-driven tools into a cohesive orchestration framework, and deliver practical improvements that can be adopted quickly. This position is ideal for a consultant who can combine technical architecture, workflow design, and stakeholder collaboration to build a scalable foundation for agentic AI in production environments.
Responsibilities:
- Lead onsite discovery sessions with a visual production team to analyze current processes, decision points, dependencies, and operational slowdowns.
- Design an orchestration approach that connects existing AI agents, automations, and platform-specific workflows into a unified operating model without replacing effective solutions unnecessarily.
- Deliver early-stage process enhancements that improve day-to-day production efficiency while defining a broader roadmap for long-term agentic AI adoption.
- Create a standardized work-order and state-management framework that tracks identifiers, assets, revisions, routing logic, ownership, approvals, and auditability across the workflow.
- Build rules-based routing and human review checkpoints, including support for manual status updates tied to production milestones such as studio shoots and print approvals.
- Develop notification and monitoring mechanisms that provide clear visibility into task readiness, delays, exceptions, and blocked work across the end-to-end process.
- Integrate tools such as Figma, Google Workspace, Box, and shared file environments using APIs, webhooks, and related connectivity patterns.
- Implement safeguards that carry upstream changes through dependent downstream activities in a controlled and reliable manner.
- Produce system documentation, train users on the operating model, and hand over a practical runbook with a prioritized backlog for future enhancements.
- At least 5 years of experience designing and delivering production-grade solutions in agentic AI, workflow orchestration, automation, or systems integration.
- Demonstrated success building multi-agent or orchestration-based solutions, with the ability to explain architectural decisions and reliability considerations in detail.
- Experience in roles such as Agentic AI Workflow Architect, Creative Technologist, AI Workflow Engineer, Solutions Architect, or Automation/Integration Architect.
- Hands-on experience developing production agents with platforms such as OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or comparable technologies.
- Strong knowledge of workflow and state-machine design, including events, retries, idempotency, shared state, and conditional execution paths.
- Proficiency in Python or TypeScript, along with experience working with APIs, webhooks, OAuth, structured outputs, and schema-driven integrations.
- Understanding of secure enterprise design principles, including least-privilege access, credential handling, and protection of confidential digital assets.
- Ability to work consultatively in ambiguous environments and adapt technical best practices to the needs of creative and cross-functional teams.
