Senior Data & GenAI Architecture Lead

Cari; København; Hybrid; DKK 950.000 - 1.350.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Novo Nordisk seeks a data and AI architecture leader to shape target architectures for data platforms and GenAI, translating business priorities into a practical technology roadmap across a federated organisation. You will define principles, drive a cohesive strategy and ensure alignment with security and governance requirements.

The role combines hands‑on technical leadership with architecture reviews, prototyping critical designs, guiding engineers through implementation, and balancing

Qualifikationen

• Degree in computer science, software engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Substantial experience spanning data and AI architecture and software or data engineering, with a track record defining target architectures and roadmaps and delivering production solutions.
• Recent, demonstrable hands-on experience in Python and SQL, APIs and data pipelines, supported by Git, automated testing and CI/CD. Ability to prototype critical designs, review code and troubleshoot implementation issues.
• Practical GenAI delivery experience, including LLM integration, RAG and evaluation. Experience with agent workflows and tool integration is an advantage.
• Architectural breadth across data modelling, integration, cloud data platforms, analytics, machine learning and GenAI, with implementation depth in at least one major cloud and modern data platform. Ability to assess interoperability, scalability, security and cost.
• Experience deploying and operating AI or machine learning services, with monitoring, versioning and troubleshooting across the application and data layers.
• Strong architecture judgement: translate business needs into technical designs, evaluate build-versus-buy options and guide distributed teams towards reusable solutions. Show your personal contribution to both architectural decisions and working implementations.
• Ability to influence business and technology stakeholders and align decisions across a federated organisation. Experience with regulated delivery, data governance and security, ideally in life sciences, is an advantage.

Aufgaben

• Shape the target architecture. Define architecture principles and the technology roadmap across data platforms, analytics and AI.
• Connect shared capabilities with business needs, plan transitions from existing solutions and balance global standards with local requirements.
• Design and build end-to-end solutions. Translate priority use cases into architectures spanning data ingestion, modelling, storage, APIs and AI deployment.
• Define integration patterns across cloud platforms and business applications, and implement key components alongside engineers.
• Engineer GenAI capabilities. Build reusable patterns for large language model integration, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and tool-using agents, with evaluation, observability and appropriate human oversight.
• Take solutions into production. Guide implementation through code and design reviews, automated testing and CI/CD.
• Resolve reliability, performance and cost issues across data pipelines and AI services.
• Lead architecture decisions. Establish reference architectures and reusable patterns. Review solution designs with platform and product teams, assess build-versus-buy choices and test trade-offs in interoperability, scalability, security and cost through working prototypes.
• Embed security and controls. Work with security, governance and quality teams to implement access controls, data protection and AI guardrails, including validation and traceability where required.
• Lead across architecture and engineering. Coach architects and engineers, resolve design dependencies across teams and communicate technical choices to business and technology leaders.
• Turn architectural direction into clear implementation guidance.
