Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced AI Solution Architect to lead the design and implementation of enterprise‑grade AI solutions powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic AI technologies.

The role involves collaborating with business stakeholders to identify AI opportunities, translate business challenges into scalable technical architectures, and guide engineering teams in developing and deploying production‑ready AI solutions. The architect will provide technical leadership across the AI solution lifecycle, from use case discovery and feasibility assessment to architecture design, implementation, deployment, and continuous improvement.

This is a hands‑on architecture role requiring active involvement in technical prototyping, solution validation, AI tooling, and technology evaluation. The successful candidate will maintain an evidence‑based understanding of emerging AI technologies and recommend solutions that deliver measurable business value while meeting enterprise security, compliance, and scalability requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with business stakeholders to understand business challenges, identify AI opportunities, and translate requirements into effective technical solutions.
• Lead AI use case discovery, feasibility assessments, solution qualification, technology evaluation, and implementation planning.
• Own end‑to‑end solution architecture for LLM‑based and agentic AI applications, including agent orchestration, RAG pipelines, MCP integrations, tool calling, and enterprise system integrations.
• Design secure, scalable, reliable, and maintainable AI architectures aligned with enterprise data, infrastructure, security, and governance standards.
• Develop hands‑on prototypes to validate architectural decisions, evaluate technical feasibility, and mitigate implementation risks.
• Evaluate emerging AI models, platforms, frameworks, and tools through structured experiments and benchmarks using real‑world business scenarios.
• Provide recommendations on technology adoption, build‑versus‑buy decisions, platform selection, and appropriate alternatives when AI is not the best solution.
• Define architectural standards and reusable design patterns for AI applications to improve consistency, scalability, and delivery efficiency.
• Establish best practices for prompt engineering, agent and prompt versioning, model evaluation, observability, release management, and production monitoring.
• Define evaluation mechanisms to assess AI accuracy, reliability, safety, performance, cost, and business outcomes.
• Lead and mentor AI engineers, review solution designs and code, resolve technical challenges, and ensure adherence to architectural standards.
• Collaborate with IT Security, Data Governance, Legal, and Enterprise Architecture teams to address data privacy, security, compliance, auditability, and responsible AI requirements.
• Maintain an overview of AI initiatives, prioritisation, implementation roadmaps, reusable components, and measurable business value.
• Communicate technical architecture, design trade‑offs, risks, and business benefits to engineering teams, senior stakeholders, and executive leadership.

Expected Outcomes in the First Year

• Establish a repeatable framework for moving AI use cases from discovery and assessment to secure production deployment.
• Deliver multiple production‑grade AI solutions with measurable business impact.
• Establish consistent architectural standards, AI evaluation practices, and security controls.
• Provide evidence‑based recommendations for AI platforms, models, and technology investments.
• Develop reusable AI components and architectural patterns to accelerate future implementations.
• Enable engineering teams to deliver AI solutions with greater autonomy, reliability, and consistency.
