  • Establish reusable enterprise patterns for RAG, model serving, prompt orchestration, agentic AI workflows, AI gateways, and service integration.
  • Chair or lead architecture governance forums, reviewing major solution designs, resolving technical trade-offs, and ensuring alignment to enterprise standards.
  • Partner closely with business leaders, product teams, engineering, cloud, security, risk, data, and operations teams to align architecture strategy with business priorities.
  • Ensure AI solutions comply with Responsible AI, governance, data controls, model risk, testing standards, security requirements, and regulatory expectations.
  • Drive architecture assessments, technical due diligence, platform modernization, proof-of-concept direction, and production onboarding standards for AI systems.
  • Guide enterprise decisions on platform capabilities, shared services, build-vs-buy evaluations, and modernization opportunities.
  • Influence and mentor architects and engineering leaders to improve design quality, architectural consistency, and adoption of enterprise AI standards.
  • Represent the Architecture function in senior governance and leadership forums.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related discipline; Master’s degree preferred.
  • 12–17 years of experience in solution architecture, enterprise application architecture, platform architecture, or AI/ML architecture, including leadership of large-scale enterprise initiatives.
  • Deep hands-on and architectural experience with Generative AI, LLMs, ML systems, RAG, vector databases, prompt design/orchestration, and AI application integration.
  • Proven expertise in cloud architecture and enterprise solution design on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • Strong understanding of cloud-native architecture including AI/ML services, networking, storage, security, IAM, resilience, and performance optimization.
  • Proven experience designing enterprise-scale, secure, resilient, and high-performing architectures for AI and data-driven applications.
  • Expertise in API architecture, microservices, distributed systems, event-driven patterns, enterprise integration, and platform design.
  • Strong understanding of AI governance, Responsible AI, model risk, compliance, testing, production controls, and control frameworks.
  • Strong understanding of DevSecOps, CI/CD, observability, monitoring, reliability engineering, and platform engineering concepts.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead architecture discussions with senior executives and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
