Enterprise AI Architect – LLM & Agentic Systems

Accenture UK & Ireland; Newcastle upon Tyne; Hybride; GBP 90 000 - 130 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Accenture UK & Ireland seeks a hands-on AI/LLM Architect to design and build advanced AI systems powering client enterprises. You will craft architectures spanning classical ML, generative AI, and agentic systems, delivering in client engagements.

You will translate requirements into concrete decisions, select patterns, benchmark frameworks, and assemble reusable components while ensuring security, governance, and performance at scale.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in designing & deploying enterprise-grade AI/ML solutions using agentic, generative and classical AI/ML.
• Hands-on experience with LLMs, retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and model integration.
• Strong Python coding skills and practical software engineering background.
• Experience architecting complex AI solutions for enterprise contexts.
• Ability to design architectures with security, observability and governance in mind.
• Several years as a machine learning architect working on big data and analytics.

Responsabilités

• Independently design, build, and deliver AI components end-to-end as a hands-on practitioner.
• Design and build AI agent architectures, prompts, tools, and memory systems.
• Create agent orchestration patterns for task handoffs, state management, and error recovery.
• Evaluate design options balancing capability, cost, and reliability.
• Design evaluation strategies to measure accuracy, relevance, and faithfulness of AI outputs.
• Architect foundation model integrations using fine-tuning, RAG, and custom integration.
• Develop model adaptation and fine-tuning pipelines for transformer-based architectures.
• Build context layers and knowledge graphs to ground AI outputs in client content.
• Implement vector stores and retrieval to support end-to-end RAG pipelines.
• Design context assembly and memory components for grounded conversations.
• Identify reusable components to accelerate delivery across engagements.
• Optimize cost, performance, and latency through efficient model usage.
• Implement guardrails, prompt-injection defenses, and PII handling.
• Create governance, versioning, and lineage tracking with detailed architecture docs.
• Add observability through logging, tracing, and monitoring for production AI systems.
• Produce architecture artifacts to guide broader engineering teams.
• Continuously learn new patterns balancing innovation with reliability.
• Collaborate with data engineers, ML engineers, and developers to meet stakeholder needs.
