QISG is seeking a Software Architect to help lead software engineering excellence and develop technical solutions that drive the organization’s AI transformation. This is a senior, hands‑on architecture role for someone who can move comfortably between technical strategy, software architecture, hands‑on development, and business engagement. You will lead complex and high‑impact initiatives, establish engineering standards, mentor technical team members, and help shape how AI‑powered solutions are designed, deployed, and maintained across QISG. You will work directly with QISG executives, business leaders, project managers, and field personnel, translating business needs into scalable technical solutions. Strong communication and the ability to make complex technical concepts accessible to non-technical stakeholders are essential.

What You’ll Do

• Lead high-priority AI and software engagements from discovery and scoping through delivery and implementation.
• Define and maintain reference architectures, deployment standards, evaluation frameworks, and reusable technical accelerators.
• Establish engineering standards for code review, testing, deployment, monitoring, on-call, and incident response.
• Build and architect full-stack solutions spanning data, backend, frontend, integrations, and AI capabilities.
• Develop CI/CD pipelines that support reliable deployment of production‑ready applications.
• Establish standards and tools that improve developer productivity and solution quality.
• Design observability and monitoring for AI‑powered applications.
• Mentor engineers through technical reviews, pair programming, code reviews, and structured development.
• Partner with executives and business leaders to identify opportunities where technology can deliver measurable business value.
• Continuously improve the technical maturity, scalability, security, and maintainability of QISG’s AI solutions.

What You’ll Work On

• Enterprise AI and software applications
• LLMs, agents, RAG, and AI‑assisted development
• Full-stack applications supporting business workflows and analytics
• Enterprise integrations and data solutions
• CI/CD and deployment infrastructure
• AI application monitoring and observability
• Reusable platforms, frameworks, and development accelerators
• Solutions designed to scale from proof of concept to enterprise-wide deployment

Preferred

• 3+ years in a customer‑facing, deployed, or forward‑engineering capacity.
• Experience in EPC, infrastructure, utilities, energy, construction, or another field‑based industry.
• Experience scaling forward‑deployed or customer engineering practices.
• Experience designing reusable platforms, agents, or internal technical accelerators.
• Experience with Anthropic / Claude tooling, including Claude API, Claude Code, or Claude in Excel.

First 90 Days

• Lead at least two AI engagements from discovery through handoff.
• Deliver measurable business impact through each engagement.
• Establish strong working relationships with technical and business stakeholders.

First 6 Months

• Establish a reusable engagement playbook and accelerator library.
• Deliver scalable tools that business and technical teams can own and enhance.
• Build relationships across multiple QISG business units.
• Demonstrate measurable growth among engineers you mentor.
• Help establish consistent software engineering and AI development standards across the team.

Why This Role

QISG is investing in AI to transform how our teams work and increase the speed, quality, and value of what we deliver. As a Software Architect, you will help build the technical foundation for that transformation while having a direct impact on how software and AI solutions are designed, deployed, and maintained across the organization.

What You’ll Get

• Competitive base salary
• Target bonus and equity
• Generous PTO & paid holidays to maintain work‑life balance
