Senior AI Solution Architect — Client-Facing

Bounteous; United States; Ibrido; USD 180.000 - 240.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Bounteous is hiring a Principal Architect in the United States to lead end-to-end solution architecture for client accounts, including AI-assisted development and agent orchestration. This senior role is client-facing, with responsibility for architectural credibility at VP/C-level interactions and governance bodies.

The role requires 11+ years in enterprise tech and 8+ years owning architecture across multiple workstreams. Travel for client-facing engagements may be required.

Competenze

• 11+ years in enterprise technology roles with 8+ years owning solution architecture on client-facing, multi-workstream programs.
• Proven experience as the client-facing architecture owner, comfortable defending design decisions to VP/C-level stakeholders and formal governance bodies.
• Deep fluency in modern application architecture, API/integration design, cloud infrastructure, and non-functional requirements — technology-agnostic, with the ability to architect confidently on whichever stack is ultimately chosen.
• Hands-on experience directing or prompting AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code or an equivalent agentic development tool) as part of an agent-orchestrated delivery model — required.
• Track record of resolving ambiguous, evolving requirements into a defensible, phased architecture.

Mansioni

• Own the end-to-end solution architecture for the account, ensuring alignment with business goals and enterprise architecture standards, independent of whichever technology stack is ultimately selected.
• Define and defend the target-state architecture and roadmap directly to client executive stakeholders and governance/Change Board forums.
• Drive technical design decisions across application architecture, APIs, integrations, cloud infrastructure, and non-functional requirements (performance, scalability, security, reliability).
• Set coding standards, design patterns, and technology choices across workstreams once the stack is confirmed, and keep design options open and unbiased until that decision is made.
• Review and approve high-level designs (HLDs) before implementation begins; hold final sign-off authority on architecture decisions and technical design changes, including authority to block releases that violate architectural standards.
• Evaluate and integrate new tools, frameworks, and AI/agentic development capabilities into the delivery model.
• Direct and prompt AI coding agents (e.g., Claude Code or equivalent) directly for architecture-level proofs of concept, technical spikes, and feasibility validation.
• Partner with the Tech Product Manager and Delivery Lead to align architecture with delivery timelines and prioritization.
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to the India-based Principal Architect and Solution Architect, ensuring one coherent architecture across delivery locations.
• Escalate cross-cutting architectural risks and represent the account technically to the client's engineering leadership.
