Job description

AI Architect (Microsoft AI & Automation)

Location: Remote (US) | Type: Contract (12 months) | Experience: 10+ years

About the Role

We're hiring an AI Architect to design and govern enterprise AI and automation solutions built on the Microsoft stack: AI Foundry, Copilot Studio, Azure OpenAI, and Power Platform, plus agent-builder platforms like Lyzr. You'll set the architecture standards that development teams build against, then stay close enough to the work to guide them through implementation.

The engagement is with a global technology consulting firm that runs large-scale digital transformation programs for enterprise clients. This is a 12 months remote contract with a three-step interview process, and the team wants someone who can start as soon as possible.

It's a role for an architect who has already watched AI programs stall on governance, security reviews, or missing documentation, and who knows how to put the guardrails in place early so teams can actually ship.

What You'll Do

• Architect and design enterprise AI and GenAI solutions, from reference models through production rollout
• Lead the build of AI agents and copilots in Microsoft Copilot Studio and Lyzr
• Design intelligent automation with Power Apps and Power Automate
• Establish the AI governance, security, compliance, and responsible AI frameworks that every solution has to meet
• Write the architecture standards, reference models, and technical documentation other teams will reuse
• Act as the technical lead for development teams and stakeholders, answering the hard design questions and unblocking delivery

Qualifications

• 10+ years in technology, with at least 5 years focused on AI or GenAI architecture
• Hands‑on expertise with Microsoft AI Foundry, Copilot Studio, and Azure OpenAI
• Practical experience building on Lyzr
• Power Platform depth, specifically Power Apps and Power Automate
• A strong grasp of AI governance, security, and compliance in an enterprise setting
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills; you can explain an architecture decision to an engineer and to an executive in the same afternoon

Why Join Us

You'll be working inside a consulting organization that takes on serious enterprise AI programs, where architecture decisions shape how thousands of people end up using these tools. The bar is high, and the work is visible.

If you want to be the person who defines how AI gets built and governed, not just someone handed a design to implement, this is that seat.
