Director AI Solutions Architect

• Own end-to-end solution architecture for AI and AI-enabled products (discovery → design → deployment) ensuring security reliability cost efficiency and maintainability across cloud and on-prem environments.
• Serve as the architecture authority for GenAI and applied AI solutions approving designs and ensuring alignment with enterprise standards set by the AI CoE.
• Establish and evolve reference architectures and reusable patterns for GenAI and applied AI (RAG agents/orchestration vector search prompt & tool design event-driven microservices API gateways).
• Select fit-for-purpose models and services (e.g. Azure OpenAI Bedrock Vertex OSS LLMs embedding models) articulating clear tradeoffs across performance latency privacy and cost.

• Partner with product and platform teams to ship production-grade solutions guiding teams from prototype → pilot → scaled production.
• Define and enforce best practices for CI/CD Infrastructure as Code and MLOps/LLMOps including model versioning prompt/config management evaluation frameworks drift detection and safety monitoring.
• Ensure observability and operational readiness (tracing guardrails red-teaming cost dashboards SLOs runbooks) before production cutover.
• Review critical pull requests architecture decisions and platform changes to raise overall engineering quality.

• Act as a technical leader and multiplier coaching engineers and architects on responsible pragmatic AI adoption.
• Build and mentor a small group of senior architects and technical leads helping grow the next generation of AI leaders.
• Evangelize effective use of copilots agent frameworks and integration SDKs to improve developer velocity without compromising quality or security.
• Raise the bar on engineering excellence through design reviews threat modeling coding standards and documentation discipline.

• Lead architecture discovery with business stakeholders: frame problems quantify constraints and translate business goals into technical roadmaps.
• Define and track outcome-based KPIs (time to first value cost to serve task success accuracy CSAT/NPS deflection).
• Communicate architectural tradeoffs risks and roadmaps in clear executive-ready language.
• Publish and maintain architecture decision records (ADRs) and platform documentation to ensure

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science Engineering Data Science Artificial Intelligence or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years in software engineering solution architecture or platform engineering including 3-5+ years delivering applied ML/GenAI solutions in production.
• Demonstrated experience leading architecture across multiple teams or products not just contributing as an individual architect.
• Extensive hands-on experience with cloud platforms (GCP preferred) including:
• Vertex AI BigQuery Dataflow Pub/Sub
• Cloud-native microservices APIs event streaming
• Containers and orchestration (Kubernetes/GKE)
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Deep practical expertise with GenAI patterns: RAG vector databases prompt engineering & evaluation agent design function/tool calling and orchestration.
• Strong command of MLOps/LLMOps including CI/CD for models and prompts offline/online evaluation telemetry drift detection and safety monitoring.

• Experience operating in regulated industries (financial services healthcare public sector) or similarly high-trust environments.
• Strong background in security privacy and compliance-by-design including OAuth/OIDC secrets management data protection and AI safety controls.
• Proven ability to influence without authority aligning product engineering security and business stakeholders.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with demonstrated executive presence.
• Certifications (nice to have): Cloud Architect Security (e.g. CISSP/CCSK) or equivalent.

• Ability to work occasional overtime.
• Occasional travel (up to ~15%).
• Occasional after-hours work to support releases or incident response.
• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
