Role Summary / Description

AI Powered Tech Talent

• Experienced and senior AI/LLM Technology Architecture Engineer, responsible for designing and delivering end-to-end AI platform architectures on AWS.
• Own the technical architecture for modern AI systems spanning classical machine learning, generative AI, LLM applications, RAG, agentic workflows and enterprise AI platform integration.
• Act as the technical authority for one or more architecture domains such as agentic application design, AI security and trust, AI operations and observability, data and knowledge engineering, model platforms and inference.
• Bring practical industry experience in banking, insurance, healthcare, retail, telecom or capital markets to shape domain-grounded solutions, define controls, and ensure the AI architecture aligns with real business processes and enterprise standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate business strategy and product goals into a technical vision, architecture blueprint, non-functional requirements and implementation roadmap.
• Lead stakeholder workshops to align on feasibility, project scope, solution boundaries and client-facing expectations.
• For AWS, define AWS-native GenAI platform architecture evaluate build-versus-buy choices across Bedrock, SageMaker and open-source frameworks design RAG and agent patterns using S3, Knowledge Bases and OpenSearch establish guardrails, auditability, identity boundaries, token budgets and costs for production LLM workloads.
• Architect model and tool agnostic multi-agent systems, including orchestration, tool use, agent memory, context management, MCP/control-plane patterns and reusable service abstractions.
• Design the end-to-end data and context layer including ingestion, preprocessing, synchronisation, chunking, embeddings, vector search, knowledge graphs and semantic retrieval for reliable RAG.
• Define evaluation frameworks for accuracy, relevance, faithfulness, groundedness, latency, cost, safety, security and operational reliability.
• Establish AI security, governance and observability as centrally enforced design controls including guardrails, prompt-injection defense, PII protection, access control, audit logging and OpenTelemetry-style tracing.
• Maintain architecture decision records, component diagrams, sequence diagrams, design specifications, integration patterns and reusable reference architecture assets.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Data Science, AI/ML, Information Technology or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 10+ years of experience in software engineering, data engineering, AI/ML engineering or technology architecture.
• Minimum 5+ years of experience designing and deploying enterprise-grade advanced AI or cloud data solutions using at least one cloud vendor.
