Join Centric Consulting – A Culture You’ll Love

At Centric Consulting, we've cultivated a unique approach to business.  Our business is built on three fundamental principles: Enjoy the people you work with, have fun, and do great work. These principles define our consulting model and have crafted one of the most vibrant cultures in the consulting industry – celebrating individuals, collaboration, and lifelong friendships.  

You'll be designing how agents, tools, and systems compose together to solve complex business problems. This is about understanding composition patterns, registry systems, and how to build reusable "Lego brick" components that can be combined in unexpected ways.

Unlike traditional software architecture, you're working with systems where the components can reason and adapt. Your job is creating the frameworks, patterns, and architectural principles that enable sophisticated agent workflows while maintaining reliability and composability.

The reality: You're architecting systems where intelligence is distributed across components that can think and adapt. Traditional patterns often don't apply. You'll be creating new approaches to system design while balancing flexibility with reliability. 

In this role, you will: 

• Design composition patterns and registry systems that enable flexible agent orchestration
• Architect information flows, context management, and attention optimization across agent systems
• Define and evolve reusable architectural patterns, frameworks, and best practices for common agent coordination needs across agentic systems
• Design prompt rendering systems and progressive disclosure mechanisms
• Balance system complexity with maintainability, debuggability, and token efficiency
• Establish architectural standards and patterns for the broader development team
• Design delegation patterns and multi-agent coordination protocols 

Who You Are: 

Must Have:

• Strong systems architecture or platform engineering background
• Experience designing complex, multi-component systems
• Understanding of distributed systems concepts and data flow patterns
• Solid programming skills (Python preferred) and ability to work across the stack
• Experience with system integration and API design
• Track record of learning new technologies and applying them effectively

Highly Valuable:

• Familiarity with generative AI frameworks, concepts, and capabilities; deep expertise is not required
• Experience with workflow orchestration or event-driven architectures
• Background with microservices, containerization, or cloud-native patterns
• Knowledge of monitoring, logging, and observability in complex systems
• Experience with performance optimization and scalability challenges

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience with Azure deployments  
• Experience with agent frameworks or multi-agent systems
• Background in platform or infrastructure engineering
• Knowledge of specific business domains and their technical requirements 
• This is early-stage, rapidly evolving technology. You'll be:
• Figuring out best practices as you go
• Learning new tools and approaches constantly
• Debugging problems that don't have Stack Overflow answers yet
• Creating solutions that didn't exist before
• If you're looking for established, well-documented processes, this isn't the right fit. If you're excited about being at the forefront of a transformative technology, let's talk. 

Cultural Fit: 

• Systems thinker: You naturally see how components interact, compose, and influence each other
• Pragmatic: You balance ideal designs with practical constraints, token limits, and performance requirements
• Collaborative: You work closely with both technical teams and business stakeholders
• Adaptable: You're comfortable with evolving requirements, emerging patterns, and rapid technology changes
• Quality focused: You understand that architectural decisions have long-term consequences for maintainability and composability
• Curious about AI: You're excited to explore how intelligent, adaptive systems change traditional architecture patterns 

What We Offer All Roles:  

• Cutting-edge work: You'll be helping define how businesses use AI agents
• Learning environment: Continuous exposure to new technologies and approaches
• Impact: Your work directly enables new capabilities for clients and internal teams
• Growth: As the field matures, you'll be positioned as an expert practitioner
• Collaboration: Work with a small, highly skilled team where everyone's contribution matters
