Description du poste

Join Williams Lea, an RRD Company, in transforming legal and business support through AiVA-our proprietary AI orchestration platform. Working in high-energy, bootcamp-style pods directly alongside top global law firms, our teams rapidly design, test, and deploy cutting-edge AI workflows that power business-critical operations.

Overall Aims:

• Technical architecture that supports the engagement outcomes: scalable, maintainable, secure, and defensible under client technical scrutiny.
• Consistent architectural pattern across the assigned pods.
• Sound technical decisions within the engagement, with clear architectural guidance to the AI Workflow Engineers.
• Technical soundness that supports both immediate engagement outcomes and long-term client platform investment.
• Architectural clarity that lets AI Workflow Engineers build at pace without technical rework.

Key Responsibilities:

Architecture & Technical Direction

• Define the architectural pattern for each engagement: skill decomposition, tool orchestration, data flow, integration approach, and deployment model.
• Ensure all architecture patterns are in line with security best practices and with client requirements. Designing client specific guardrails as appropriate
• Review and sign off on AI Workflow Engineer builds against the agreed architectural pattern.
• Own integration architecture with client systems: authentication, data ingress, downstream deployment, and monitoring.
• Make platform-versus-custom decisions with the Head of Platform Engineering and Product where the engagement stretches platform capability.
• Design and document the target technical state, transition plan, and operational readiness criteria for handover to sustained delivery.
• Own the technical risk register for the engagement; surface and elevate technical risks early to the Delivery Principal.

Engagement Execution

• Work across multiple client engagements as the Technical Lead.
• Partner with the Delivery Principal on scope, timeline, and technical feasibility decisions.
• Present technical architecture to senior client stakeholders including Chief Technology Officers, technical partners, information security and enterprise architects.
• Specify all integrations and work with the platform development team to deliver integrations, connectivity, and upstream system integration.
• Guide the AI Workflow Engineer on architectural choices, prompt strategy, and evaluation design without taking over the build.
• Contribute technical input to commercial conversations; flag technical scope creep and platform-limit risks to the Delivery Principal and Client Partner early.

Technical Leadership

• Develop and mentor AI Workflow Engineers and Integration Engineers through the engagement; provide structured technical input to functional managers on capability development.

Continuous Improvement & Standards

• Contribute architectural patterns and technical playbooks to the Technical Lead community; refine standards based on engagement experience.
• Mentor newer Technical Leads as the function scales; contribute to capability development across the cohort.

Personal Attributes

• Senior technical presence; comfortable in client-facing rooms with senior technical stakeholders (Chief Technology Officers, enterprise architects, technical partners).
• Architect mindset with hands-on origins; can direct technical work without needing to do it, and knows when to intervene versus when to let a builder solve it.
• Comfortable operating across multiple engagements simultaneously; manages competing priorities without dropping either.
• Deep interest in AI-enabled automation architecture; keeps up with the platform, integration patterns, and the wider AI engineering community.
• Resilient under client technical pressure; defends design choices constructively rather than defensively.
• Continuous learner; adapts architectural patterns as the AiVA platform evolves.
• Quality-first orientation; treats architectural clarity, evaluation, and observability as first-class outcomes.
• Comfortable working across geographies (US, UK, India) and across sectors including legal and professional services.
