Description
At CI\&T, we help large enterprises transform the potential of AI into real business impact through AI Deployment, AI\-native execution, and tech\-integrated business solutions.
With 30 years of experience in technological transformation, we accelerate innovation with expertise in agentic SDLC, application modernization, Data \& AI, martech, and business strategy.
We are 8\.000 CI\&Ters in more than 25 countries, collaborating to build solutions with real impact. AI is already part of how we work, evolve, and innovate every day.
**Important**: if you reside in the Campinas Metropolitan Region, your presence in the city offices will be mandatory, in accordance with the current attendance policy.
We are transforming the way software engineering teams develop software at scale — and we want you to lead this transformation. As a **Software Architect (AI)**, you will be responsible for designing and implementing an Agentic SDLC model: an architecture where AI agents act in an integrated manner throughout the development cycle, from discovery phases to sustainment. You will combine architectural vision with real execution, working side by side with high-scale squads on digital products relevant to tens of millions of people.
**Your mission:**
* Evaluate the current development cycle, identify bottlenecks, and map where generative AI and agents can generate measurable value — also recognizing where they are not the appropriate solution.
* Define the reference architecture for Agentic SDLC (agents, models, context, integrations, observability, security, and governance) and support the construction of the technical adoption roadmap.
* Design, build, and evolve agentic flows throughout all stages of the SDLC, integrate them with team tools (Git, CI/CD, work management, cloud), and create prototypes, accelerators, and reusable components.
* Work with squads on real pilots, mentor technical teams, create playbooks and guardrails, and monitor adoption and outcome metrics.
**What we expect from you:**
* Solid experience in software engineering, solution architecture, or systems
* Track record of leading technical decisions in corporate environments with multiple teams
* Experience implementing AI tools in the development cycle (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Gemini Code Assist, Amazon Q, or similar)
* Practical experience with generative AI, LLMs, prompt engineering, and AI agents
* Experience with backend development in Python, Java, TypeScript, or equivalents
* Familiarity with CI/CD, Git, test automation, application security, and DevOps
* Knowledge of cloud computing (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
* Good communication with technical and non-technical audiences, and the ability to transform complex problems into objective plans
**Differentiators:**
* Knowledge of agentic patterns: tool calling, memory, reflection, multi-agents, and human\-in\-the\-loop
* Knowledge of specification-driven methodologies (BMAD, OpenSpec, Spec\-Kit, or similar approaches)
* Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP), building MCP servers or clients
* Experience with RAG, vector databases, knowledge graphs, or GraphRAG architectures
* Background in media, entertainment, streaming, or high-scale digital products
**Our benefits:**
* Health and dental plan;

At CI\&T, inclusion begins with the first contact. If you are a person with a disability, it is important to **present your medical report during the selection process.** *Check what data needs to be included in the report* *by clicking here.* This way, we can ensure the support and adaptations you deserve. **If you do not yet have the characterizing report, do not worry: we can support you in obtaining it.**
We have a dedicated Health and Well\-being team, inclusion specialists, and affinity groups that will be with you at every stage. Count on us to make this journey side by side.
