Whether you’re starting out in your career or taking your next step as a seasoned professional, the EisnerAmper experience is one-of-a-kind. You can design a career you’ll love from top to bottom - we give you the tools you need to succeed and the autonomy to reach your goals.\nEisnerAmper is seeking an AI Platform Architect, Strategy & Enablement who will serve as the technical backbone of EisnerAmper’s AI transformation, owning the performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency of the EisnerAI Platform. This role will own and execute AI Platform strategy, defining the multi-year roadmap, cross-service-line capability, and coherence that position the platform as a strategic asset, scaling to 1,000 deployed AI agents across every solution, from intelligent tax preparation to agentic audit workflows. The role will build model lifecycle, evaluation, and multi-vendor orchestration as usage expands across every team.\nReporting to the Chief AI Officer, this is a high-impact, high-visibility role at the intersection of platform architecture, AI engineering, and strategic operations. The critical dimensions of this position are internal - elevating platform fluency and technical depth across teams and external - cultivating strategic partnerships across the hyperscaler and AI vendor ecosystem to extend platform capability into wide ecosystem integration opportunities.\nWhat it Means to Work for EisnerAmper:\nYou will get to be part of one of the largest and fastest growing accounting and advisory firms in the industry\n\nYou will have the flexibility to manage your days in support of our commitment to work/life balance\n\nYou will join a culture that has received multiple top “Places to Work” awards\nWe believe that great work is accomplished when cultures, ideas and experiences come together to create innovative solutions\n\nWe understand that embracing our differences is what unites us as a team and strengthens our foundation\n\nShowing up authentically is how we, both as professionals and a Firm, find inspiration to do our best work\n\nWhat Work You Will be Responsible For:\nOwn and Execute AI Platform Strategy\nOwn the multi-year platform roadmap -

GPT-4o, o3, and what comes next, into a deliberate portfolio strategy rather than ad hoc adoption.\n\nOwn the connection between the EisnerAI Platform and the firm's broader technology ecosystem (ETI), establishing this bridge proactively rather than retrofitting it once scale makes it expensive.\n\nEnsure the platform roadmap and standards account for both B2B and B2C dimensions of the firm's AI use - firmwide client service delivery as well as direct-to-client and wealth management contexts.\n\nLead Platform Strategy and Architecture\nArchitect and evolve the platform's core data, application, and agentic layers on Azure AI Foundry, establishing the reference architecture and technical standards that govern how every solution from intelligent tax preparation to agentic audit workflows gets built.\n\nCodify AI and data governance (NIST AI RMF, PCAOB, Section 7216, and emerging requirements including the EU AI Act) into enforceable platform-level controls and automated compliance checks, in partnership with the firm's existing AI governance function.\n\nLead AI performance engineering across the firm's LLM ecosystem, benchmarking models for accuracy, latency, cost, and quality, and directing routing and optimization strategy to continuously lower cost-per-agent without sacrificing output quality.\n\nBuild and Operate Cross-Cutting Capability Enablement\nBuild and operate the platform's real-time performance monitoring layer, hallucination rates, retrieval precision, adoption, and cost-per-interaction, as a shared capability every service line draws on rather than one each team rebuilds independently.\n\nOwn identity, access, and security controls for AI systems and agents firmwide, establishing the guardrails that let Tax, Audit, Advisory, and Outsourcing scale their own use cases safely on shared infrastructure.\n\nDeliver executive and board-level dashboards translating platform performance, adoption, and cost into business value narratives, and mentor technical and business teams across IT, AI Advisory, and service lines to build platform fluency firmwide.\n\nBasic Qualifications:\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related technical field\n\n10+ years of experience in technology strategy, enterprise architecture, or platform/product leadership including experience as a Chief Architect or Enterprise Solutions Architect with a demonstrated record of scaling platforms across multiple business units\n\n5+ years architecting enterprise-scale solutions on Microsoft Azure including AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Cosmos DB, ADLS, Purview, and AI Search with direct accountability for platform reliability and cost at production scale\n\n3+ years leading LLM benchmarking, evaluation, and optimization programs in production environments, with a track record of translating model performance data into platform-wide selection and routing strategy\n\nPreferred or Desired Qualifications\nMaster's degree preferred (Computer Science, AI/ML, Cloud Architecture, or MBA with technical focus)\n\nAzure Solutions Architect Expert, Azure AI Engineer Associate, or equivalent certifications strongly preferred\n\nData Platforms: ADLS Gen2, Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, Azure Synapse/Databricks for analytics and data engineering\n\nAI Search & RAG: Vector search, semantic ranking, knowledge mining, and retrieval pipeline optimization\n\nGovernance & Compliance Tooling: Microsoft Purview, Azure Policy, data lineage, and audit logging frameworks\n\nMonitoring & Observability: Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Log Analytics, custom dashboards (Power BI, Grafana)\n\nProgramming Languages: Python, C#, TypeScript, SQL, Bicep/Terraform\n\nDevOps & MLOps: Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipeline design\n\nCost Management: Azure Cost Management, FinOps practices, token-level cost tracking and optimization\n\nProven track record of designing and implementing data governance frameworks and compliance controls at enterprise scale\n\nExperience managing cloud cost optimization initiatives with demonstrated savings outcomes\n\nDemonstrated experience mentoring technical and non-technical teams across organizational boundaries, and experience owning vendor or model portfolio strategy in a multi-LLM environment\n\nExperience establishing or scaling a platform roadmap and adoption model from an engineering-first starting point\n\nTrack record of leading through ambiguous, rapidly evolving technology landscapes\n\nStrong stakeholder management across engineering, governance, and business-line functions\n\nDemonstrated experience translating governance, risk, or compliance requirements into platform-level controls or operational practice\n\nApplicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa for this position now or in the future.\nEisnerAmper is proud to be a merit-based employer.
