Emerge to the Top of Your Career

At MERGE, we strive to create a superior work experience where talented and ambitious people grow. An experience that encourages people to think higher and feel deeper. An experience where people engage their minds and hearts to do the best work of their careers.

About the Role
We're seeking a Agentic Architect to translate high-level AI transformation strategies into actionable technical implementations. Working closely with AI Transformation Specialists, you'll map conceptual workflows to specific agents, tools, and APIs, while maintaining a pulse on the rapidly evolving landscape of AI capabilities.


What You’ll Do:

  • Technical Specification Development: Leverage AI tools to convert high-level process designs into detailed technical requirements for specific agents and tasks. Build initial agent orchestration workflows and prototypes that demonstrate the intended automation flow, then perform quality assurance on implementations delivered by the ATAPI team to ensure they meet specifications.
  • Solution Discovery & Assessment: Research and evaluate existing agents, MCP tools, and APIs that could fulfill identified automation needs. Conduct technical feasibility assessments including performance benchmarks, integration complexity, and scalability considerations.
  • Capability Monitoring: Maintain comprehensive tracking of agent/tool/API releases from key SaaS vendors and internal development teams. Create and update capability matrices that map available solutions to business requirements, highlighting new opportunities as they emerge.
  • Gap Analysis & Roadmapping: Document technical gaps where no suitable agent or tool exists for required functionality. Collaborate with Transformation Specialists to assess build-vs-wait decisions and prepare detailed requirements for the ATAPI engineering team when custom development is needed.

What You’ll Bring:

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, related technical field or equivalent experience
  • 7+ years of experience in API integration, micro-services architecture, or automation engineering
  • Deep understanding of agent frameworks, MCP protocols, and modern API standards (REST, GraphQL, Webhooks)
  • Experience with technical documentation and requirements gathering
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language for testing and prototyping
  • Strong technical evaluation skills with ability to quickly assess new tools and technologies
  • Excellent documentation abilities for both technical and business audiences
  • Systems thinking approach to understanding component interactions
  • Detail-oriented mindset for specification development
  • Collaborative skills for working between business and engineering teams

Bonus Points for:

  • Hands-on experience implementing AI agents or automation workflows
  • Familiarity with major AI platforms and their tool ecosystems
  • Background in enterprise integration patterns
  • Experience with API governance and lifecycle management

At MERGE, we’re committed to fostering an environment where our team members can thrive in both their careers and personal lives, ensuring they feel supported and empowered to succeed.

We’re a remote-friendly, hybrid company. We have hubs in Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, Kansas City, Denver, Raleigh, & New York. If you live within 40 miles of a hub, we’d love to see you in person for the moments that matter—like key meetings, team-building, or when a colleague is visiting from out of town. We value flexibility, but we believe the best collaboration happens when we're intentional about connecting in person.

MERGE believes in transparency and equity. In accordance with state regulations, we’re proud to include salary ranges in our job postings to ensure fair compensation practices.

The salary range for this role is $127,000 - $152,000 based on the individual’s skills, experience, qualifications, location, and other relevant factors. The salary pay range is subject to change and may be modified at any time. 

MERGE is proud to invest in benefits that include meaningful Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, 401K, Lifestyle Spending Account, Employer Paid Life & Disability Insurance, Flexible Time off & Holidays plus many other benefits and rewards.

Applicants for employment in the US must have work authorization that does not now or in the future require sponsorship of a visa for employment authorization in the United States.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
