Job Description We are seeking a Technical Architect with 10+ years of overall technology experience, including proven experience architecting and delivering production Generative AI systems. The ideal candidate will combine deep hands-on command of large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, and agentic architectures with the judgement to design AI solutions that hold up under real enterprise constraints of cost, latency, security, and compliance. This role owns the technical architecture of AI engagements end-to-end: shaping the solution during discovery and pre-sales, defining reference architectures and integration patterns, selecting models and platforms, and guiding delivery teams through implementation. You will work directly with client stakeholders, product managers and engineering leads, and will help set the technical standards of our AI practice. This is a senior, hands-on architecture role rather than a purely advisory one. This role owns multiple concurrent AI engagements from discovery through production. Beyond technical architecture, the Technical Architect is expected to act as a trusted advisor to clients, lead engineering teams, mentor future technical leaders, and drive engineering excellence through hands-on involvement
