• Ensure local AI solutions remain interoperable with global architectures, delivering business-fit outcomes with a focus on responsible AI use.
• Actively participate in global design reviews, contributing China-specific requirements to global platform roadmaps. Ensure that local AI and technology solutions remain globally interoperable, compliant, and supportable, with clear architectural accountability.
• Oversee vendor-delivered solutions for China, providing ongoing architectural governance over configuration changes, enhancements, and integrations. Ensure all third-party solutions meet enterprise standards, maintain compliance, and support the long-term strategic direction of both China and global platforms.

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related field, with 5-7 years of hands-on experience delivering digital solutions in China, preferably within complex or multi-national enterprise environments.
• Strong experience designing and delivering China local technology (like WeChat / WeCom-based solutions, Ali cloud)including integration with enterprise systems, customer- or employee-facing digital use cases, and alignment with China-specific platform ecosystems.
• Proven background in China digital transformation initiatives, with the ability to translate local business needs into scalable, compliant technical solutions while aligning with global platforms and enterprise standards.
• Solid understanding of China IT landscape and implementation context, including local vendors, platforms, data regulations, and integration patterns required to operate effectively in China while remaining globally interoperable.
• Strong knowledge of cloud architectures, packaged SaaS implementation, system integration, and modern design approaches such as RESTful APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures.
• Strong communication skills in English and Mandarin, with the ability to work effectively across local China teams and global stakeholders.It would be a plus if you also possess previous experience in:
• AI / ML solution design or delivery, including exposure to global AI platforms (e.g., Azure AI, Azure OpenAI) and/or China-compliant LLMs (e.g., Baidu, Alibaba Qwen, Tencent).

• Evaluating AI use cases and contributing to solution architecture in areas such as data readiness, governance, responsible AI, or AI-enabled business capabilities.
