Summary

We are seeking a visionary Senior AI Architect to design and build the intelligent orchestration layers and robust data architectures that power ADT’s next-generation AI initiatives. In this role, you will be the driving force behind our enterprise adoption of state-of-the-art LLMs (Gemini Enterprise, OpenAI) and advanced AI orchestration frameworks. Because powerful AI requires exceptional data foundations, you will focus heavily on designing the real-time data pipelines, relational and analytical engines, and retrieval systems necessary to ground our models in reality, leveraging streaming IoT, video, and sensor data. Additionally, you will champion & partner with engineering teams on use of AI-native developer tools like Cursor and Claude Code to hyper-charge our SDLC.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Enterprise AI Strategy: Architect and deploy scalable AI solutions leveraging Gemini Enterprise, OpenAI, and Anthropic (Claude) models to solve complex business and security challenges.
• Build Agentic Systems: Design and deploy multi-agent AI solutions with advanced orchestration, memory systems, and secure tool integration.
• Data Architecture for AI: Design the underlying data architecture required to feed high-quality, real-time data into AI systems, emphasizing massively scalable relational and analytical data stores.
• Real-Time AI Pipelines: Enable high-throughput processing of streaming IoT, video, sensor, and event data using event streaming and publish-subscribe messaging systems.
• Multi-Modal AI Integration: Apply computer vision, event detection, anomaly detection, and video intelligence to real-world edge and cloud scenarios.
• Developer Productivity: Spearhead the adoption of AI-native development environments, specifically driving the integration of Cursor and Claude Code, Gemini Enterprise alongside tools like Bitbucket & GitHub, into engineering workflows.
• RAG & Context Systems: Architect scalable Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems, integrating vector databases and semantic search to ground LLMs in enterprise data.
• AI Platform Scale & Efficiency: Architect secure, scalable, and cost-efficient AI platforms across multi-cloud environments, optimizing model latency, token usage, and system costs.
• Responsible AI & Governance: Implement AI governance, privacy preservation, security protocols, and compliance best practices.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Data Engineering, Product, and Security teams to mentor teams, guide architecture decisions, and ensure AI solutions are deeply integrated into ADT's ecosystem.

Qualifications and Requirements
