Role – Senior Technology Architect

Job Description

AI-First Solutioning, Human + Agent Ways of Working & Large-Scale Modernisation

Your role

This is a senior strategic role within the Enterprise Strategic Architecture practice, focused on defining and delivering next-generation digital transformation programs for leading global organisations. The successful candidate will bring together deep technology expertise and strong business acumen to help clients navigate complex, large-scale modernisation initiatives. As AI becomes central to how enterprises transform, this role is expanding in scope: the architect must be equally comfortable designing cloud-native platforms, structuring human and agent collaborative workflows, and embedding AI-driven capabilities as first-class components of the overall solution. You will collaborate closely with sales and delivery teams across the full program lifecycle — from shaping solutions during presales through to governing technical quality in delivery. You will engage with CDOs, CTOs, and senior digital leaders at client organisations, contribute to industry thinking through published viewpoints and speaking engagements, and play an active role in identifying emerging technology opportunities that can be developed into compelling propositions for the market.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Thinking- Candidate can articulate where AI agents replace human tasks vs. augment them in a $10M+ transformation context. Can draw a human+agent operating model for a business process — showing handoff logic, oversight points, and accountability chains. Understands that LLM inference is now a line item in program budgets and can estimate it at ROM level for a given use case volume.
• Design Depth- Has personally designed or reviewed an agentic system in production — e.g. a multi-step reasoning pipeline, an autonomous code review agent, or a RAG-powered enterprise knowledge layer. Can explain prompt architecture decisions (system prompt structuring, context compression strategies, few-shot vs. zero-shot tradeoffs) and how these affect both quality and cost. Understands model selection tradeoffs — when to use frontier models vs. fine-tuned smaller models vs. cached completions.
• Token Optimization Fluency- Has operationalised token efficiency at scale — structured prompt libraries, semantic caching, chunk sizing for RAG pipelines, output length controls, batching strategies. Can model cost-per-transaction for an AI-enabled workflow and present that as part of a business case. Understands how token spend interacts with context window limits across model families (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini) and can make architecture trade-offs accordingly.
