AI Architect

Job Description:

Technical Leadership & Architecture

● Design and architect end-to-end AI solutions spanning traditional ML, generative AI, and Agentic AI systems

● Evaluate and select appropriate design patterns for GenAI implementations, clearly articulating tradeoffs between approaches (RAG vs fine-tuning, prompt engineering strategies, agent orchestration patterns, etc.)

● Define and implement comprehensive evaluation frameworks for GenAI systems, including quality metrics, performance benchmarks, and responsible AI considerations

● Stay current with emerging AI/ML developments and assess their practical applicability to client environments

Client Engagement & Stakeholder Management

● Serve as trusted technical advisor to clients, translating complex AI concepts into business value

● Lead solution workshops and technical pre-sales presentations with C-level executives and technical teams

● Build and maintain strong client relationships through confident communication and delivery excellence

● Bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI capabilities and pragmatic, implementable solutions

Team Leadership & Delivery

● Drive technical teams to deliver high-quality AI solutions on time and within scope

● Provide hands-on technical guidance and code reviews, leading by example

● Manage delivery timelines and proactively identify and mitigate risks

● Mentor team members on AI best practices, design patterns, and implementation approaches

Hands-On Development

● Contribute directly to architecture and code implementation when needed

● Build proof-of-concepts and prototypes to validate technical approaches

● Debug complex technical issues across the AI stack

● Ensure code quality, scalability, and maintainability standards
