Senior Software Architect
Hiring: Intelligence Architect | Software Engineering → Architecture → AI | London / Remote
Conquer AI is hiring an Intelligence Architect to help design and deliver AI systems for enterprise clients.
This is a client-facing role for someone who started their career in software engineering, built strong technical depth, and has since moved into architecture, AI, and solution design.
We are not looking for data scientists who have moved sideways into AI.
We are looking for people who come from an engineering-first background and understand how to turn real operational problems into working systems.
The role
You will work with clients from discovery through to delivery.
That means:
leading discovery sessions and technical workshops
understanding business processes, operational pain points, and technical constraints
shaping solution architecture across AI, APIs, data sources, integrations, and governance
translating ambiguous problems into clear technical approaches
working closely with engineering teams to deliver production-ready systems
giving clients confidence through clear, credible technical leadership
This role sits between engineering, architecture, and client engagement. It needs someone who can think clearly, communicate well, and stay close enough to delivery that solutions actually get built properly.
What we’re looking for
strong background in software engineering
moved into architecture, technical design, or solution ownership over time
experience working with AI systems, LLMs, intelligent workflows, or related technologies in real delivery environments
comfortable owning technical conversations with clients and stakeholders
able to operate well in ambiguity and bring structure to open problems
confident working across discovery, design, and delivery
strong judgement, strong communication, and a high bar for quality
This role is likely a fit if you have
started as a backend, full-stack, platform, or solutions engineer
gone on to lead architecture or end-to-end technical design
worked directly with clients, users, or senior stakeholders
helped shape systems, not just build tickets
experience delivering in fast-paced environments where ownership matters
This role is not for
recent graduates
early-career engineers
purely academic or research-led AI profiles
data scientists without strong software engineering foundations
candidates who have used AI tools but have not designed and delivered real systems
Location
We are based in London, UK, but this role can be remote for the right person.
If this sounds like you, or someone you know, get in touch.
