AI Architect

Skills

About the Role

You will define the long-term technical vision for how AI is designed, structured, and scaled across the organization. Beyond building individual solutions, you will establish reusable patterns, reference architectures, and design principles that enable teams to build AI systems consistently, reliably, and at speed. You'll design standard AI system blueprints, run discovery workshops, define governance standards, and translate multi-year business strategy into a phased AI architecture roadmap.

Requirements

• 8–12+ years of overall engineering experience, with at least 3 years in AI/ML architecture
• Portfolio of AI systems that have run in production for 1+ years
• Experience designing AI solutions that span multiple teams or business units
• Systems thinking ability to see how decisions made today shape the architecture two years from now
• Storytelling ability to communicate complex architecture in a way that excites and aligns stakeholders

Responsibilities

• Design and deliver standard AI system blueprints such as agentic loops, RAG pipelines, human-in-the-loop systems, and multi-modal inputs
• Package designs as internal platforms, SDKs, and pattern libraries that teams adopt and build on
• Design for longevity, making architectural choices that age well and accumulate minimal technical debt
• Map unstructured business problems to AI-native solutions
• Run discovery workshops or design sprints to surface the right AI approach before committing to a solution
• Define AI governance standards including model versioning policies, prompt lifecycle management, evaluation cadence, and deprecation strategies
• Establish AI design principles across the organization including guardrails, quality bars, and architectural constraints
• Design long-lived evaluation frameworks including golden datasets and regression benchmarks
• Architect feedback loops that make AI systems self-improving through RLHF, preference data collection, or active learning
• Translate multi-year business strategy into a phased AI architecture roadmap
