Shape the next generation of enterprise AI

We’re looking for a senior AI Architect to lead the design and delivery of cutting-edge Generative and Agentic AI solutions across complex enterprise environments.

This is a client-facing, strategic role for someone who combines deep technical expertise with strong consulting instincts, someone who can move comfortably between vision, architecture, and real-world delivery.

You’ll work on high-value transformation initiatives, helping organisations turn AI from experimentation into measurable business impact.

The Role:

As an AI Architect, you’ll operate at the intersection of strategy, solution design, and delivery.

You will:

  • Lead discovery and design of AI-led solutions aligned to business outcomes
  • Architect and scale GenAI, RAG, and Agentic AI systems in production
  • Advise senior stakeholders on AI strategy, feasibility, and roadmap
  • Act as a technical authority during bids, proposals, and client workshops
  • Guide engineering teams through complex implementations

This role offers real ownership, from shaping ideas through to deploying production-grade AI platforms.

Key Responsibilities:

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Partner with commercial and delivery teams to qualify opportunities and shape compelling AI propositions
  • Act as a trusted advisor in workshops, discovery sessions, and solution design discussions
  • Support RFI/RFP responses and client presentations with clear, credible technical direction

Solution Architecture & Delivery

  • Design enterprise-ready Data & AI architectures using modern cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Architect RAG-based GenAI solutions, chatbots, and autonomous/agentic workflows
  • Select appropriate models, frameworks, orchestration tools, and evaluation approaches
  • Ensure solutions are secure, scalable, observable, and production-ready

Technical Leadership & Innovation

  • Lead and mentor teams of AI and software engineers
  • Drive best practices across MLOps / LLMOps, governance, and AI observability
  • Contribute to reusable accelerators, reference architectures, and go-to-market offerings

What We’re Looking For:

Essential Experience & Skills:

  • Proven experience architecting solutions across Generative AI, Agentic AI, ML, and automation
  • Strong understanding of:
  • Prompt engineering
  • RAG pipelines
  • Model fine-tuning (supervised / unsupervised)
  • MLOps / LLMOps and AI observability
  • Hands-on experience building enterprise RAG solutions using LLMs (e.g. OpenAI, Llama, Mistral, Claude) and vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS, etc.)
  • Practical experience with GenAI frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, and agentic frameworks like AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph
  • Strong Python expertise with AI/ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) and NLP libraries
  • Experience deploying AI solutions on at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Solid software engineering foundations for building scalable, maintainable systems
  • Experience leading or guiding teams of AI / software engineers

Consulting & Communication:

  • Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
  • Comfortable translating complex AI concepts into clear business value
  • Experience supporting proposals, bids, and client presentations

Why Apply?

  • Work on meaningful, enterprise-scale AI transformation programmes
  • Shape AI strategy and architecture, not just build proofs of concept
  • High visibility, senior-level role with real influence
  • Continuous exposure to modern AI tooling, frameworks, and delivery models
  • Strong investment in learning, innovation, and professional development
