AI Solution Architect

Bosch; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 3,000,000 - 6,000,000; Full time

Job summary

Bosch Global Software Technologies Private Limited in Bengaluru is seeking a senior AI/GenAI Solution Architect to own end-to-end architectural design for production-grade AI systems, spanning classical ML, LLM applications, RAG, and agentic workflows. You will drive design decisions, define ML/Ops pipelines, and ensure observability, security, and cost efficiency in delivery.

The role requires 10–15 years in software/ML engineering with proven production AI ownership, and strong hands-on GenAI

Qualifications

• Strong hands-on GenAI architecture—LLMs, RAG, agentic patterns, orchestration frameworks
• Classical ML delivery grounding
• MLOps/LLMOps, evaluation design, model serving, observability, and cost optimisation
• Practical experience designing to Responsible AI, security, and compliance requirements
• Working knowledge of data platforms, pipelines, and modelling
• Exposure to Enterprise Architecture is an added advantage
• Ability to lead technical workshops with technical stakeholders in client environment
• Excellent verbal and written communication, ability to discuss trade-offs with varied technical audiences

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end architecture for AI and GenAI engagements — classical ML, LLM applications, RAG systems, and agentic workflows.
• Responsible for design decisions: build vs. buy, model selection, fine-tuning vs. retrieval, and orchestration patterns.
• Design retrieval architectures (chunking, embedding, indexing, hybrid search, and re-ranking) for accuracy and latency at scale.
• Architect agentic systems: tool use, memory, multi-step orchestration, and human-in-the-loop control points.
• Design LLMOps setup for engagements: model serving, versioning, deployment pipelines, and rollback.
• Define evaluation architecture: eval harnesses, quality benchmarks, regression testing, and acceptance criteria.
• Architect observability, monitoring, and drift detection; design for operability and handoff to Managed Ops.
• Design cost-efficient inference architectures: model tiering, caching, token economics, and FinOps guardrails.
• Specify the data requirements for AI solutions — training data, feature pipelines etc.
• Partner with Data Solution Architects to translate model and RAG requirements into data platform design.
• Design embedding and vector store strategy in sync with the underlying data architecture.
• Embed Responsible AI and AI security standards into solution design — guardrails, explainability requirements, and human oversight.
• Design for non-functional requirements: latency, scalability, availability, security, and regulatory obligations.
• Serve as technical authority through delivery — guiding engineering teams, reviewing designs, and resolving technical escalations.
• Support pursuits with technical proposals, effort estimation, and technical workshops with client stakeholders.

Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

This role architects production-ready AI and GenAI solutions that are reliable, observable, safe, and cost-efficient. The architect owns the technical design of AI solutions from opportunity through delivery. The solution architect is the senior technical authority on AI architecture decisions within projects and collaborates with the Data Solution Architect where engagements span both data foundations and AI solutions.

Key responsibilities

AI & GenAI solution architecture

• Own end-to-end architecture for AI and GenAI engagements — classical ML, LLM applications, RAG systems, and agentic workflows.

• Responsible for design decisions: build vs. buy, model selection, fine-tuning vs. retrieval, and orchestration patterns.

• Design retrieval architectures (chunking, embedding, indexing, hybrid search, and re-ranking) for accuracy and latency at scale.

• Architect agentic systems: tool use, memory, multi-step orchestration, and human-in-the-loop control points.

Production readiness & LLMOps design

• Design LLMOps/MLOps setup for engagements: model serving, versioning, deployment pipelines, and rollback.

• Define evaluation architecture: eval harnesses, quality benchmarks, regression testing, and acceptance criteria.

• Architect observability, monitoring, and drift detection; design for operability and handoff to Managed Ops.

• Design cost-efficient inference architectures: model tiering, caching, token economics, and FinOps guardrails.

Data foundations for AI

• Specify the data requirements for AI solutions — training data, feature pipelines etc.

• Partner with Data Solution Architects to translate model and RAG requirements into data platform design.

• Design embedding and vector store strategy in sync with the underlying data architecture.

Safety, governance & non-functional design

• Embed Responsible AI and AI security standards into solution design — guardrails, explainability requirements, and human oversight.

• Design against GenAI risk surfaces: prompt injection, data leakage, unsafe outputs, and insecure tool use.

• Design for non-functional requirements: latency, scalability, availability, security, and cost. Ensure designs meet regulatory obligations.

Delivery & engagement support

• Serve as technical authority through delivery — guiding engineering teams, reviewing designs, and resolving technical escalations.

• Support pursuits with technical proposals, effort estimation, and technical workshops with client stakeholders.

Experience

• 10–15 years in software/ML engineering and architecture, with proven ownership of AI solutions in production

Expected Skills

• Strong Hands-on GenAI architecture — LLMs, RAG, agentic patterns, orchestration frameworks and tools such as Langchain, Haystack, and Llama Index

• Classical ML delivery grounding
