AI Architect

DVT is a leading technology consulting and software engineering company that helps organisations solve complex business challenges through software, data, cloud, and AI solutions. We partner with clients across multiple industries to design, build, and optimise technology platforms that deliver measurable business value.

We are looking for an experienced AI Architect to drive AI strategy, architecture, and solution design across client engagements and internal initiatives. This is a senior consulting role that combines enterprise architecture, AI advisory, stakeholder engagement, and technology leadership.

As an AI Architect, you will provide strategic direction and architectural leadership for AI initiatives across a diverse client portfolio. You will work with business stakeholders, executives, architects, delivery teams, and engineers to identify opportunities, evaluate technology options, and design scalable AI solutions that solve real business problems.

This role is not primarily focused on hands on development. Instead, you will operate at an enterprise level, guiding clients and delivery teams on AI strategy, solution architecture, implementation approaches, governance, and best practices.

You will play a key role in helping organisations navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape while ensuring solutions are practical, secure, scalable, and aligned to business objectives.
