Role Overview</b></p><p>
We are seeking an experienced AI Architect to define how we design, secure, and scale AI across the organization. You&rsquo;ll translate business strategy into reference architectures, platform decisions, and guardrails that engineering teams execute against &mdash; balancing capability, cost, risk, and time-to-value.</p><p>
Where AI Engineers ship features, you&rsquo;ll shape the platform: model strategy, the data and retrieval foundation, the LLMOps backbone, the security posture, and the governance model. Increasingly, that means architecting agentic systems, multi-model routing, and responsible AI controls that comply with regulations like the EU AI Act.</p><p><b><br>
Key Responsibilities</b></p><ul><li><p>
Define AI strategy and reference architectures for generative AI, agentic systems, RAG, and predictive ML.</p></li><li><p>
Set model strategy: build-vs-buy, open-weight vs. hosted, multi-model routing, and a framework for evaluating new models as they ship.</p></li><li><p>
Architect the data and retrieval foundation &mdash; lakehouse, feature stores, vector stores, and lineage &mdash; that AI systems depend on.</p></li><li><p>
Design the LLMOps/MLOps platform: experiment tracking, model and prompt registries, automated eval gates, and observability.</p></li><li><p>
Lead AI security: threat modeling for prompt injection and data exfiltration, and OWASP LLM Top 10 mitigations.</p></li><li><p>
Own responsible AI and governance &mdash; risk classification, human oversight, auditability, and alignment with the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001.</p></li><li><p>
Establish FinOps for AI: cost models, token budgeting, and unit economics per use case.</p></li><li><p>
Provide technical leadership, review designs, mentor engineers, and align stakeholders from engineering to the executive team.<br>
<br>
<b>Candidate Requirements</b></p></li></ul><ul><li><p>
Demonstrated experience delivering AI solutions in an enterprise or client-facing/consulting environment.</p></li><li><p>
Prior experience at management consulting firms and/or Big Tech is an advantage.</p></li><li><p>
Bachelor's or Master&rsquo;s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.</p></li><li><p>
8+ years in software/data engineering, with 3+ years architecting AI/ML or large-scale data systems.</p></li><li><p>
A track record of designing and delivering production AI systems end-to-end, ideally including GenAI/LLM workloads.</p></li><li><p>
Deep understanding of LLM and ML system design &mdash; RAG, agents, fine-tuning trade-offs, evaluation, serving, and the full MLOps/LLMOps lifecycle.</p></li><li><p>
Strong cloud architecture skills (Azure, AWS, or GCP) plus a modern data platform (Databricks or Snowflake).</p></li><li><p>
Expertise in AI security, responsible AI, and data governance, with awareness of relevant regulations.</p></li><li><p>
Excellent communication &mdash; able to influence both engineers and executives.</p></li><li><p>
Hands-on enough to prototype, review code, and earn engineering teams&rsquo; trust.</p><p><br>
Nice to have:
</p></li><li><p>Architecting AI for regulated or sovereign environments (finance, healthcare, government, GCC/UAE).</p></li><li><p>
Enterprise architecture frameworks (TOGAF) and well-architected reviews.</p></li><li><p>
Defining golden-path tooling for internal AI development.</p></li><li><p>
Running structured vendor PoCs and bake-offs.</p></li></ul><p></p><p><b>
Tools &amp; Technologies You&rsquo;ll Work With:</b></p><ul><li><p>
Patterns: RAG, agentic/multi-agent, event-driven, lakehouse/medallion; reusable blueprints.</p></li><li><p>
Model strategy: multi-model routing and gateways (LiteLLM, Portkey); Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Mistral.</p></li><li><p>
Platforms: Azure AI Foundry, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, Databricks Mosaic AI.</p></li><li><p>
Data foundation: Delta Lake/Databricks, Snowflake, Unity Catalog, vector stores, knowledge graphs.</p></li><li><p>
LLMOps/MLOps: MLflow, LangSmith/Langfuse, model and prompt registries, eval-in-CI.</p></li><li><p>
Security &amp; governance: OWASP LLM Top 10, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, EU AI Act, RBAC/ABAC, secrets management.</p></li><li><p>
