What this job asks for AI summary
A principal-level architecture role focused on building a conversational AI platform that replaces traditional search for a football-focused super app. The work centers on designing the orchestration layer that coordinates large language models, retrieval systems, and multi-agent pipelines to pull live data from ticketing, hotel, restaurant, and other third-party providers into a single dialogue-driven commerce experience. Suits a senior technical leader with hands-on production AI platform experience who can also set standards and mentor engineers.

Why we read it this way (11)
No total years of experience figure is stated anywhere in the posting; seniority is inferred from the explicit 'Principal' title and the described scope (org-wide technical authority, mentoring principal engineers, setting long-term LLM strategy).
The role is titled 'Principal AI Search & Conversation Architect' and framed as owning the entire AI orchestration layer across a multi-principal-architect org — this genuinely supports Principal-level classification, not merely Senior.
SOC is Medium-confidence: the role is primarily about architecting and building a production AI/software platform (15-1252), but the heavy AI-research and orchestration framing could also fit 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other), listed as the runner-up.
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini are listed together as interchangeable LLM provider options under 'highly desirable' — emitted as a single preferred skill with alternatives.
LangGraph, LlamaIndex, and DSPy are similarly grouped as 'highly desirable' AI framework options — emitted as a single preferred skill with alternatives.
Rust appears only in the 'Technology Stack' narrative section describing the broader OleOle platform, not in the qualifications for this role — treated as preferred context rather than a hard gate.
Knowledge graphs and graph databases appear in the qualifications section but are framed as long-term decision areas ('make long-term decisions regarding … knowledge graphs') rather than explicit hard gates; treated as preferred.
No compensation range is disclosed. No employment type (full-time vs. contract) is stated explicitly.
The posting contains an unusual inline warning ('No pathetic AI inflated resumes or using someone else's resume') which has been disregarded as non-structural content.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): multi-agent orchestration, API orchestration.
