This is an end-to-end architecture role covering AI, GenAI, LLMs, agentic systems, automation, AIOps, cloud, security and enterprise infrastructure. The architect will define the target architecture, select models and platforms, design data and integration layers, establish security and governance, guide engineering teams and stay involved through build, deployment and operations. The objective is an AI-native operating model across Data Center, Network, Cyber Security, Workplace/EUC, Service Management and Hybrid Cloud-not a collection of disconnected AI pilots.\nKey Responsibilities\nWhat You’ll Own\nOwn the enterprise AI and automation architecture, standards, reference patterns and technology roadmap.\nTranslate business and operational problems into practical AI, automation and agentic solutions with measurable outcomes.\nLead architecture from discovery and use-case selection through design, POC, production, adoption and lifecycle management.\nDecide where deterministic automation, GenAI, agents, AIOps, ML, workflow or traditional engineering is the right answer.\nCreate reusable architecture patterns so delivery teams can build safely without reinventing the platform.\nWork across Infrastructure, Network, Security, Workplace, Cloud, Service Management and Enterprise Architecture.\nRemain technically hands-on: prototype, review designs/code, run technology evaluations and unblock engineering teams. LLM & Foundation Model Architecture\nDesign the LLM lifecycle: model selection, data preparation, prompting, fine-tuning, evaluation, deployment, serving, monitoring and retirement.\nWork with proprietary and open LLMs, SLMs and multimodal models; assess quality, context, latency, cost, privacy and operational fit.\nUnderstand fine-tuning, instruction tuning, LoRA/PEFT, quantisation, distillation and inference optimisation.\nDesign model gateways and routing across cloud, private and on-prem models based on workload, risk, performance and cost.\nArchitect GPU/accelerator capacity, inference endpoints and scalable model serving when self-hosted models are required.\nDefine evaluation datasets and quality gates for groundedness, relevance, safety, hallucination, latency and cost. GenAI, RAG & Knowledge Architecture\nArchitect enterprise RAG and Agentic RAG across documents, CMDB, tickets, telemetry, runbooks, APIs and operational data.\nDefine ingestion, chunking, metadata, embeddings, vector stores, semantic/hybrid search and reranking.\nDesign grounded knowledge services with access-aware retrieval, provenance and traceability.\nUse context engineering, memory, structured outputs and tool selection for production AI applications.\nUse knowledge graphs or graph retrieval where topology, dependency and relationships matter. Agentic AI & Autonomous Systems\nDesign single-agent and multi-agent architectures for NOC, SecOps, Data Center, Workplace and Service Management.\nDefine agent roles, planning, reasoning boundaries, memory, tools, policies, approvals and escalation.\nUse MCP, A2A, function/tool calling and event-driven orchestration where they add real value.\nBuild agents that can observe, diagnose, recommend, execute and validate actions through controlled tools.\nUse confidence, risk and policy gates to determine autonomous versus human-approved execution.\nDesign agent observability for prompts, model calls, retrieval, tool calls, decisions, failures, latency and cost.\nBuild closed-loop patterns: detect → understand → decide → act → validate → learn. Microsoft AI & Copilot Architecture\nMicrosoft Copilot, Copilot Studio and enterprise agent architecture.\nMicrosoft Foundry and Azure OpenAI for enterprise AI, model and agent workloads.\nPower Platform, Power Automate, Logic Apps, Azure Functions and API Management for orchestration.\nSecure agents connected to ServiceNow, Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, network, security and infrastructure platforms.\nDefine reusable agent skills, tools, connectors, prompts, knowledge sources and governance patterns. AI-Native Infrastructure Architecture\nData Center: VMware, Hyper-V, Azure Local/Azure Stack HCI, HCI, Windows, Linux/Unix, Active Directory, storage, backup, DR and Cohesity.\nNetwork: Aruba CX/Central/ClearPass, Wireless, Palo Alto NGFW/Panorama, WAN, SD-WAN, VXLAN/EVPN and cloud networking.\nWorkplace: Microsoft 365, Intune, Autopilot, Entra ID, Defender, Citrix/EUC and DEX.\nSecurity: Zero Trust, NAC, micro-segmentation, SASE/SSE, SIEM/SOAR, NDR, IAM/PAM and security automation.\nDesign service-aware automation using\nSkill Requirements\nExperience\n15+ years in enterprise architecture, infrastructure, cloud, automation, software engineering or related technology roles, with substantial hands-on delivery.\nProven experience designing and delivering enterprise AI/GenAI or automation platforms-not only strategy or POCs.\nStrong understanding of network, security, data center, workplace and cloud operations.\nExperience taking AI/automation from business case and architecture through engineering, production rollout and adoption.\nStrong communication and architecture governance skills across engineers, architects, executives and business stakeholders.\nOther Requirements\nPreferred Certifications\nMicrosoft Azure Architect / AI Engineer / DevOps / Security or equivalent.\nAI/ML, GenAI or relevant cloud AI credentials.\nTerraform and Red Hat Ansible Automation.\nVMware, Aruba and Palo Alto professional certifications.\nTOGAF or equivalent enterprise architecture qualification.\nITIL / ServiceNow, SRE or cloud architecture credentials are a plus.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5695,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":15,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","IT Outsourcing & Dedicated Teams","Systems Integrators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T17:55:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:3","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T02:09:42Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hcltech-solution-architect-terraformpythongoogle-cloud-buildansible","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hcltech-solution-architect-terraformpythongoogle-cloud-buildansible.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T02:09:42Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3092,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":225},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=225"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhcltech-solution-architect-terraformpythongoogle-cloud-buildansible"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhcltech-solution-architect-terraformpythongoogle-cloud-buildansible"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhcltech-solution-architect-terraformpythongoogle-cloud-buildansible"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hcltech-solution-architect-terraformpythongoogle-cloud-buildansible\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhcltech-solution-architect-terraformpythongoogle-cloud-buildansible"}]}
