Remote Senior Applied AI Architect & IP Strategist

Insight Global; Georgia; Hybrid; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Insight Global's IG Labs seeks a Technical Architect to bridge client delivery with internal IP development and to translate engagement learnings into reusable assets. You will define AI and data platform architectures for enterprise clients and embed in active engagements to shape scalable, secure solutions that become leverage for future programs.

As the technical authority, you will mentor delivery engineers, drive reuse of patterns via ADRs and reference architectures, and collaborate with

Qualifications

• 8+ years in technical architecture, solutions architecture, or principal engineering roles.
• System design breadth and depth: cloud-native architecture across at least two major platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), networking, containerization and Kubernetes, distributed systems, plus strong databases and data modeling.
• Traditional AI/ML understanding: how transformers, CNNs, and RNNs work, and a deep working grasp of embedding spaces
• Hands-on experience designing and shipping production-grade agentic AI systems, not just prototypes
• Experience working directly with senior client stakeholders to define architecture
• Strong written and visual communication: architecture diagrams, decision records, executive summaries
• Demonstrated ability to abstract reusable patterns from specific implementations
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity in professional services or consulting environments
• Deep experience with RAG architectures, LLM orchestration (LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar), and agent evaluation/observability
• Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) and its role in AI system integration
• MLOps platform design, model governance, and AI lifecycle management
• Experience with embedding/vector stores and retrieval design at enterprise scale

Responsibilities

• Partner with client stakeholders (CTO, VP Engineering, Chief Data Officers) to define AI and data platform architecture aligned to their strategic objectives
• Lead architecture discovery sessions: current-state assessment, gap analysis, future-state design, and roadmap sequencing
• Produce and own architectural artifacts: reference architectures, decision records (ADRs), data flow diagrams, integration blueprints, and governance frameworks
• Define and enforce non-functional requirements across security, scalability, observability, and regulatory compliance
• Serve as the technical authority on engagements, bridging business intent and engineering execution
• Work hand-in-hand with the IG Labs team to identify reuse opportunities within active client engagements
• Abstract generalizable patterns from bespoke client solutions (reference architectures, design templates, evaluation frameworks, deployment playbooks) and contribute them to the IP library
• Participate in IP review cycles: peer review of contributed assets, validation of generalizability, and documentation of applicability conditions
• Actively drive toward Reuse Index targets, the primary delivery health metric tracking what proportion of each engagement is powered by pre-built IP
• Identify net-new IP opportunities from emerging client problems and partner with Labs to prototype and productize
• Provide architectural oversight and technical governance across multiple concurrent client engagements
• Partner with delivery leads and project managers to ensure architectural decisions are reflected in project plans, sprint goals, and acceptance criteria
• Support pre-sales and solution design: contribute to SOWs, RFP responses, and technical proposals with defensible architectural thinking
• Mentor delivery engineers and junior architects, elevating technical craft across the team
• Flag architectural drift, scope risk, and technical debt in active engagements before they become delivery blockers
