Qualifications

• A completed university degree in a relevant field, such as Computer Science, Data Science, AI or Engineering.
• A minimum of 3 years of experience in programming and engineering (for example in Python, SQL or Spark), building end-to-end data and AI applications and applying good engineering practices such as testing, CI/CD and code review.
• A clear ambition to grow into solution architecture and the drive to learn from experienced architects. Some exposure to design decisions is a plus.
• Strong communication skills: you can explain complex architectures, including visually, and engage business stakeholders to turn business needs into high-level requirements and solution designs.
• Practical knowledge of cloud platforms, such as Azure, and a solid understanding of the underlying architecture and data technologies.
• Experience guiding fellow engineers, for example as technical lead on a component or through code reviews.

Responsibilities

• You will work closely with clients and multidisciplinary teams to design, build and deliver data and AI solutions that address real business needs.
• Depending on the project, you will:
• Deliver cloud, data and AI solutions for clients and contribute to the solution architecture behind them.
• Support clients and senior architects in designing solutions that align with the organization’s goals and strategic roadmap.
• Translate business requirements into architectural designs and blueprints for solution components, and build your own architectural judgment.
• Define non-functional requirements (NFRs) and help ensure they are reflected and upheld throughout implementation.
• Document design decisions and the reasoning behind them, and take part in architecture reviews to keep solutions consistent and well-governed.
• Build, prototype and review code and data pipelines, and validate architectural choices with working proofs of concept.
• Take ownership of technical components and workstreams, guide fellow engineers and make sure deliverables are of high quality.
• Engage with stakeholders across the client’s organization, from engineering teams to business leaders.
• Contribute to proposals and solution outlines for new client opportunities.
• Keep growing through knowledge sharing and coaching from experienced architects.
