Location and Flexibility
This role is fully remote for candidates based in Brazil. If you are based in São Paulo or Porto Alegre, you are welcome to work from one of our offices on a flexible schedule.
The Opportunity
The Automation Technical Architect partners with Automation Strategists and Business Analysts to convert business process designs into detailed, build-ready technical architecture across RPA and Agentic AI solutions.
This role is responsible for assessing client environments, evaluating existing toolsets and infrastructure, and designing the optimal automation architecture for each process. The Architect ensures that every solution is fully specified — technically sound, scalable, secure, and aligned to the client’s current-state ecosystem.
The defining mandate of this role is clear: Produce system-level architecture designs that engineering teams can build from without redesign.
Responsibilities
Work alongside Automation Strategists and Business Analysts to review process maps, BPMN diagrams, and opportunity assessments.
Identify automation breakpoints and classify components.
Convert business workflows into detailed technical architecture diagrams.
Define orchestration logic, integration flows, and system dependencies.
Assess client technical environments
Evaluate constraints and opportunities within current architecture.
Propose optimal automation architecture aligned with client enterprise standards.
Recommend tooling decisions when gaps exist.
Produce detailed system-level architecture diagrams.
Clearly define integration contracts and system interactions.
Clearly distinguish where PII is processed, stored, or transmitted.
Specify compliance constraints impacting system design.
Document non-functional requirements (scalability, performance, security).
Conduct structured architecture walkthroughs with engineering teams.
Provide clarification and technical guardrails during build.
Review implementation for adherence to architectural design.
Prevent scope drift and architectural degradation during delivery.
Lead whiteboarding sessions with Business Analysts, Automation Strategists, engineers, and client stakeholders to translate business processes into technical solution designs.
Facilitate structured architecture workshops to align on system boundaries, integration patterns, orchestration logic, and implementation approach.
Clearly present and defend architectural decisions to engineering teams, enterprise IT stakeholders, and security review boards.
Conduct detailed architecture walkthroughs prior to build to ensure engineering alignment and eliminate ambiguity.
Communicate tradeoffs between deterministic automation (RPA) and AI-driven approaches, articulating rationale, risks, and scalability implications.
Partner closely with delivery leads and engineering managers to ensure architectural intent is preserved throughout implementation.
Contribute to team capability development by mentoring engineers and reinforcing architectural standards and best practices.
Design integrated automation ecosystems
Define guardrails, confidence thresholds, and evaluation mechanisms.
Ensure AI solutions are observable, secure, and compliant.
Assess data sensitivity and regulatory constraints (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, regional data residency requirements) during solution design.
Embed privacy-by-design principles into automation and Agentic AI architectures.
Design guardrails for LLM-based systems
Ensure AI and RPA solutions align with client security review processes and governance standards.
Qualifications
7+ years of experience in solution architecture, intelligent automation, or enterprise system design, with a track record of delivering production-grade solutions.
3+ years of hands-on experience designing and implementing enterprise RPA solutions at scale.
1–3 years of experience integrating AI/LLM capabilities into automation workflows or enterprise applications.
Demonstrated experience (multiple full lifecycle implementations) producing architecture designs that progressed from assessment through production deployment.
Experience leading technical workshops, architecture whiteboarding sessions, and cross-functional design reviews in enterprise environments.
Proven ability to translate business process diagrams (BPMN, swimlane, or equivalent) into detailed, build-ready technical architecture artifacts that engineering teams can execute without redesign.
Hands-on experience designing and deploying enterprise automation solutions using at least one major RPA platform (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, or Blue Prism), including orchestration design, queue management, environment strategy (Dev/Test/Prod), and governance controls.
Experience assessing current-state client environments, including existing toolsets, integration capabilities, infrastructure constraints, and security requirements, and designing fit-for-purpose automation architectures within those constraints.
Experience integrating AI capabilities into automation workflows, including exposure to LLM APIs (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI, or similar), OCR, NLP, or related services. Familiarity with concepts such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), prompt design, human-in-the-loop workflows, and AI guardrails.
Strong understanding of enterprise integration patterns, including RESTful APIs, microservices, middleware, event-driven architecture, and secure data exchange across CRM, ERP, data platforms, and legacy systems.
Demonstrated experience designing solutions under data security and regulatory constraints (e.g., GDPR, data residency requirements), including encryption standards, access controls, credential management, logging, and auditability.
Experience presenting and defending architectural designs to engineering teams, enterprise IT stakeholders, and security review boards.
Strong communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to lead whiteboarding sessions, conduct architecture walkthroughs, and clearly articulate tradeoffs between deterministic automation and AI-driven solutions.
Demonstrated curiosity and ongoing learning in emerging automation and AI technologies.
