Principal Architect, CPQ

About the job

Principal Architect - CPQ product will own the end-to-end architecture of an AI-native platform built on frontier AI models and agentic workflows. Define the technical vision across product architecture, data platforms, pricing engines, knowledge systems, and AI services while making critical build-vs-buy, platform, and model strategy decisions. Partner closely with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to create a scalable, enterprise-grade solution that transforms complex sales and pricing processes through automation and intelligence. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring deep technical expertise, architectural rigor, and the ability to attract and mentor high-caliber engineering talent.

What will you own?

• Define the architecture for a hyperscaler and LLM-agnostic product built to run on customer infrastructure - not a platform-locked implementation.
• Design the semantic data core: graph-based modeling with typed relationships, multi-tenant isolation, and provenance.
• Architect agentic services - tool-using LLM agents, orchestration, guardrails, and retrieval grounding - as first-class product capabilities.
• Set standards for async API design, state machines, code generation/templating, and draft-to-active data lifecycles.
