Build the systems powering the next generation of AI workers.
At Marco, we believe AI is bigger than chatbots and copilots. We're building AI-powered Digital Employees-intelligent systems that automate work, interact across business platforms, orchestrate workflows, and become part of the modern workforce.
We're looking for an experienced AI Systems Architect to help design and build the platform foundations that make this possible.
This role sits at the intersection of AI architecture, software engineering, platform design, and emerging technology strategy. You'll work directly with modern AI ecosystems including Azure AI Foundry, Microsoft Fabric, Azure OpenAI, multi-agent systems, APIs, orchestration technologies, and enterprise integration platforms to create scalable AI solutions that solve meaningful business challenges.
This is a role for someone who enjoys building systems-not simply configuring products.
