We're seeking a GenAI Architect who blends strategic foresight with hands‑on engineering. This role leads the technical architecture for Agentic AI solutions across the enterprise-evaluating use case feasibility, shaping reference architectures, driving POCs and pilots, and guiding platform adoption. You'll partner closely with product, engineering, data, and security teams to architect scalable, secure, and cost‑effective GenAI capabilities aligned to business priorities. Candidates should have experience with enterprise GenAI architecture (multi‑cloud preferably AWS, or on‑prem) including model access patterns, orchestration, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG), vector search, and guardrails.
In this role, you will: Strategy & Architecture
Assess use case feasibility (technical complexity, model fit, data readiness, latency/throughput, security/compliance constraints) and produce a go/no‑go recommendation with solution options.
Define the Agentic AI foundation and architect multi‑agent solutions that enable large‑scale, agent‑driven transformation.
Develop reference architectures and pattern libraries (e.g., RAG with enterprise search, function calling/agents, synthetic data generation, multimodal pipelines).
Design and implement POCs/pilots: data connectors, embeddings pipelines, prompt flows, context engineering, evaluation harnesses, and latency/cost benchmarking.
Build RAG pipelines: chunking, embeddings creation, vector indexing (e.g., Azure AI Search/OpenSearch/pgvector/Pinecone), source of truth tracing (citations).
Collaborate with governance teams to implement guardrails and safety layers: content filtering, jailbreak defense, policy checks, role‑based prompts, function calling constraints.
Integrate GenAI with enterprise systems (APIs, microservices, messaging, identity/authorization).
Drive prompt engineering and prompt Ops: templates, variables, structured output parsing, context windows management, and hallucination reduction.
Partner with business stakeholders to prioritize use cases and translate requirements into technical designs.
Mentor engineering teams; review solution designs; conduct architecture gates and design authority meetings.
Create roadmaps and migration plans for scaling pilots to production, including cost and performance optimization.
Work Model

What you need to have to be considered
10+ years in software/data/AI architecture; 2+ years hands‑on with LLMs/GenAI in production or pilots.

Preferred experience in security & compliance: OAuth/JWT, RBAC/ABAC, encryption, data masking, PII handling, auditability, Responsible AI.
