For those looking to make their mark on purposeful and enduring innovation, above and beyond fleeting trends, Marvell is a place to thrive, learn, and lead.

Your Team, Your Impact

At Marvell, we're accelerating AI adoption-not just in our products, but in how we operate. This is a rare opportunity to architect and lead a transformative function that embeds AI across every facet of our business.
We are building the next generation of agentic enterprise AI platforms - systems that enable the creation, deployment, and evolution of autonomous, goal-driven workflows, intelligent assistants, and domain-specific AI agents across the organization.

As our Platform Architect & Lead Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing and building the foundational architecture for multi-agent orchestration, distributed inference, and model lifecycle management - integrating data, models, tools, and event-driven workflows orchestration into a cohesive architecture that accelerates enterprise-wide AI adoption.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role, ideal for an architect-engineer who thrives in greenfield environments, can balance build vs. buy decisions, and enjoys working across technical and business boundaries.

What You Can Expect
Platform Architecture & Development

• Architect and lead development of core AI platform capabilities, including agent orchestration layers, memory stores, function calling frameworks, and evaluation pipelines for continuous improvement.
• Design scalable, microservices-based services supporting multi-agent collaboration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), tool and API chaining, message passing, and event-driven orchestration.
• Partner with the Data Office to integrate data pipelines, vector databases, feature stores, and model registries into cohesive vertical solutions.
• Evaluate, design, and implement model training, serving, and continuous improvement frameworks that connect seamlessly with enterprise systems.
• Own system architecture decisions reference implementations, and the platform roadmap, including build vs. buy assessments, model routing, and integration with third-party or open-source frameworks.
• Define observability, reliability and reliability baselines using Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and Grafana to monitor agent performance, latency, and health.

Team Leadership & Collaboration

• Lead and mentor a small, high-impact team of engineers and contractors.
• Define engineering standards, API design patterns, and CI/CD pipelines for platform components.
• Collaborate with business, product, and IT leaders to align platform capabilities with strategic goals and use cases.
• Serve as a trusted technical advisor to the Head of Enterprise AI & Platform on architectural strategy, scalability and platform evolution.

AI Ecosystem & Thought Leadership

• Stay at the forefront of the evolving AI ecosystem - especially in agentic systems, distributed reasoning, and multi-model orchestration.
• Develop and maintain a clear point of view on architecture evolution, agent interoperability standards, and scaling patterns.
• Contribute to AI governance, model observability frameworks, prompt security and responsible AI design.

What We're Looking For
Preferred Experience

• 8-12+ years in software or platform engineering; 3+ years in architecture or technical lead capacity.
• Proven experience architecting enterprise-grade AI/ML or data platforms, ideally with components for workflow orchestration, service integration, or multi-agent coordination.
• Deep understanding of enterprise architecture, modular design, and security and identity frameworks (OAuth2, RBAC, SSO), and scalability across distributed environments.
• Hands-on experience with cloud-native technologies and modern engineering stacks (Python, Go, TypeScript, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, Redis, etc.).
• Familiarity with LLM orchestration frameworks and vector databases or RAG pipeline architectures.
• Knowledge of feature engineering, dataset versioning, and evaluation frameworks (Feast, DVC, Hydra).
• Ability to balance rapid prototyping with long-term platform robustness and compliance requirements.
• Strong stakeholder management skills; able to communicate architectural decisions to both executives and engineers.

Mindset & Attributes

• Builder + Architect - you can design systems and build them.
• Systems thinker - you understand how data, models, and workflows interconnect.
• Collaborative - you thrive on co-creation and transparency with partners.
• Pragmatic visionary - ambitious about the art of the possible, grounded in the constraints of reality.
