Lorven Technologies Inc.; United States; On-site; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Lorven Technologies Inc. is seeking a senior Consulting Architect to lead the design of AI use-case solutions within a regulated banking environment. You will shape end-to-end architectures, data flows, and integration approaches aligned to enterprise AI platforms.

You will deliver reference architectures, patterns, and hands-on guidance, collaborating with platform, security, and delivery teams to ensure governance, security, and scalable deployments across cloud-native solutions.

Qualifications

• Minimum of 7 years' experience in solution architecture, application architecture, or senior engineering roles, including hands-on delivery of cloud-native applications.
• Hands-on experience architecting and delivering GenAI/LLM-based solutions: model integration, RAG pipelines, prompt/context engineering, and agent or workflow patterns.
• Strong Azure experience: Azure OpenAI/AI services, API Management, Entra ID, Key Vault, networking and landing-zone concepts, and environment separation.
• Demonstrated experience producing reference architectures, integration patterns, and design documentation adopted by multiple teams.
• Experience designing within security, risk, and compliance constraints in a regulated environment.
• Strong consulting skills: stakeholder communication, design facilitation, and the ability to influence without authority.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the consulting architect for AI use-case teams across the bank, shaping solution designs and integration approaches.
• Produce and maintain reference architectures, design patterns, and working examples for common use-case shapes (RAG, document processing, workflow automation).
• Review designs against platform standards and governance; document findings and drive remediation with delivery teams.
• Advise on model selection, prompt/context architecture, retrieval design, and guardrail patterns per use case risk tier.
• Enable governance adoption: ensure all designs route through the enterprise gateway with entitlements, quotas, and logging.

Job description

• Serve as the consulting architect for AI use-case teams across the bank: shape solution designs, data flows, model access patterns, and integration approaches aligned to the enterprise AI platform and gateway architecture.
• Produce and maintain reference architectures, design patterns, and working examples for common use-case shapes (RAG applications, document processing, workflow automation, agent-based patterns).
• Review solution designs against platform standards and governance requirements before build; document findings and drive remediation with delivery teams.
• Advise on model selection, prompt/context architecture, retrieval design, and oversight/guardrail patterns appropriate to each use case's risk tier.
• Platform Alignment & Standards Adoption
• Ensure all designs route model access through the governed enterprise gateway with correct entitlements, quotas, and logging; prevent parallel or ungoverned access paths.
• Translate governance standards into architecture requirements delivery teams can implement, and feed practical gaps back into the standards process.
• Partner with platform engineering on the evolution of platform capabilities based on real use-case demand.
• Document network, identity, data-classification, and environment-separation considerations for solution designs.
• Partner with Cybersecurity architecture on AI threat modeling, prompt-injection risk, and adversarial-testing requirements for solution designs.
• Enablement & Capability Transfer
• Pair with application teams that lack AI delivery experience; provide hands-on design and build guidance through their first implementations.
• Create and deliver architecture enablement materials, design guides, and pattern documentation in the bank's repositories.
• Support solution reviews in governance forums with clear, evidence-based architecture assessments.
• Transfer patterns, documentation, and working knowledge to bank FTEs throughout the engagement so capability persists post-contract.

Skills

Must have

• Minimum of 7 years' experience in solution architecture, application architecture, or senior engineering roles, including hands-on delivery of cloud-native applications.
• Hands-on experience architecting and delivering GenAI/LLM-based solutions: model integration, RAG pipelines, prompt/context engineering, and agent or workflow patterns.

• Experience designing within security, risk, and compliance constraints in a regulated environment.
• Strong consulting skills: stakeholder communication, design facilitation, and the ability to influence without authority.

Nice to have

• Preferred Qualifications
• Financial services experience and familiarity with banking SDLC governance (design gates, architecture review, permit-to-build/operate models).
• Experience with AI gateway/governance patterns: model allowlisting, entitlement-based access, usage controls, audit logging.
• Experience with vector stores, retrieval services, evaluation harnesses, and MCP/tool-integration patterns.
• Experience mentoring teams new to AI delivery.
