Design and present scalable data and AI platform architectures and presales demos. Lead multi-model AI orchestration, event-driven systems, observability, security/compliance, and cross-functional demo engineering. Mentor presales teams and drive PoCs, vendor evaluations, and technical artifacts for industry-specific demo environments.
Key Responsibilities:
Presales & Client Engagement
- Partner with sales and industry teams to design client-ready demos, proof-of-concepts, and technical solution blueprints.
- Present complex architectures in a clear, business-outcome-driven manner to both executive and technical stakeholders.
- Contribute to RFP/RFI responses, solution proposals, and deal shaping.
- Act as a trusted advisor in client conversations, highlighting differentiators of Data & AI Solutions.
Solution Architecture & Demo Environments
- Architect distributed, scalable, and resilient data and AI platforms for presales demonstrations.
- Design abstraction layers for multi-model AI orchestration, including fallback logic, dynamic model switching, and cost control.
- Lead implementation of event-driven architectures using messaging frameworks (Kafka, Pulsar, SQS, etc.) and state machines.
- Build reusable, industry-specific demo environments leveraging hyperscaler services and data platforms.
Observability, Security & Compliance
- Define and enforce observability standards for demo and enterprise environments (logging, tracing, telemetry, real-time alerting).
- Implement zero-trust security models (RBAC/ABAC, IAM, OAuth2, encryption, API gateways).
- Ensure all demo and client environments meet compliance standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, SOC2.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work with Product, Data Science, Engineering, and Governance teams to align demos with business/regulatory needs.
- Collaborate with IMUs (verticals) to build domain-specific demo templates (e.g., Insurance claims, Healthcare payment integrity, Banking KYC/fraud, Retail personalization).
- Provide hands-on support to engineering teams during delivery, troubleshooting, and performance tuning.
Innovation & Technical Leadership
- Stay ahead of hyperscaler advancements, AI/ML frameworks, and orchestration patterns.
- Drive technical due diligence, PoCs, and vendor/platform evaluations.
- Create technical artifacts (architecture diagrams, design patterns, runbooks).
- Mentor presales engineers and junior architects in solution design and client presentation skills.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
- Certifications preferred:
- Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Kubernetes / CNCF ecosystem.
- Architecture frameworks (TOGAF, SAFe).
