The ideal candidate will combine deep hands-on command of large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, and Agentic architectures with the judgement to design AI solutions that hold up under real enterprise constraints of cost, latency, security, and compliance. This role owns the technical architecture of AI engagements end-to-end: shaping the solution during discovery and pre-sales, defining reference architectures and integration patterns, selecting models and platforms, and guiding delivery teams through implementation. You will work directly with client stakeholders, product managers and engineering leads, and will help set the technical standards of our AI practice. This is a senior, hands-on architecture role rather than a purely advisory one. This role owns multiple concurrent AI engagements from discovery through production. Beyond technical architecture, the Technical Architect is expected to act as a trusted advisor to clients, lead engineering teams, mentor future technical leaders, and drive engineering excellence through hands-on involvement.\nRequirements\nResponsibilities\nOwn the end-to-end architecture of GenAI solutions across the retrieval, orchestration, model, integration, and deployment layers.\nTranslate ambiguous business problems into AI solution designs with clear scope, feasibility assessment and success metrics.\nDefine reference architectures, design patterns and reusable accelerators for RAG, agentic workflows and LLM integration.\nLead model and platform selection, documenting the cost, latency, accuracy and data-residency trade-offs behind each decision.\nDesign the non-functional envelope: scalability, latency budgets, availability, observability and inference cost control.\nArchitect data and retrieval pipelines covering ingestion, chunking, embedding strategy, vector store selection and hybrid search.\nDefine evaluation strategy and guardrails so accuracy, groundedness, safety and hallucination rates can be measured and governed.\nEmbed security, privacy and compliance into the design: PII handling, tenancy isolation, access control and audit.\nSupport pre-sales and discovery through solution workshops, effort estimation, technical proposals and client presentations.\nGuide delivery teams, run design reviews and mentor engineers, while staying hands-on in prototyping and unblocking hard problems.\nMaintain architecture documentation and decision records, and assess which advances in generative AI are ready for enterprise adoption.\nOwn multiple client engagements simultaneously while maintaining delivery quality.\nLead discovery workshops, challenge assumptions, and refine business requirements into technically sound solutions.\nPush back on unrealistic timelines, architectures, or requirements using engineering judgement and data.\nBuild strong relationships with Team, product owners, and executive stakeholders.\nMentor senior engineers and cultivate future architects and technical leaders.\nLead architectural governance, design reviews, and technical decision records.\nSet engineering standards, coding guidelines, AI development best practices, and review critical code.\nRemain hands-on by building prototypes, solving difficult technical problems, and contributing production-quality code when needed.\nDrive cross-project reuse through internal frameworks, accelerators, and reference implementations.\nPresent architecture, trade-offs, risks, and implementation strategy confidently to executive audiences.\nEssential Skills\nJob\n10+ years in software engineering, data or AI roles, including at least 3 years in an architect or technical lead capacity.\nDemonstrated experience architecting and delivering production Generative AI systems, not only prototypes or POCs.\nStrong hands-on Python, with the ability to prototype designs and review production code.\nDeep expertise in LLM application architecture: prompt and context engineering, structured output, tool calling and orchestration.\nProven experience designing RAG systems end-to-end, including chunking, embedding selection, hybrid retrieval and re-ranking.\nProven ability to manage multiple enterprise AI programs simultaneously.\nStrong client-facing consulting experience with executive communication.\nExcellent presentation, whiteboarding, and workshop facilitation skills.\nDemonstrated experience influencing technical decisions across multiple teams.\nExperience managing senior engineers and mentoring future technical leaders.\nStrong engineering judgement balancing quality, cost, delivery timelines, and business value.\nComfortable making architectural decisions with incomplete information.\nExperience with agent and orchestration frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex or CrewAI.\nStrong knowledge of vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, FAISS, pgvector) and their operational trade-offs.\nSolid machine learning and deep learning fundamentals, including fine-tuning and adaptation approaches (LoRA/QLoRA, PEFT).\nStrong cloud architecture skills on AWS, Azure or GCP, including their AI/ML and data services.\nExperience with microservices, API design, event-driven patterns and enterprise system integration.\nWorking knowledge of MLOps and LLMOps: CI/CD, containerization, model versioning, monitoring and rollback.\nExperience defining LLM evaluation and observability approaches (RAGAS, LangSmith, DeepEval or equivalent).\nPersonal\nStrong communication and stakeholder management skills, including with non-technical and client-side audiences.\nSound engineering judgement, with the confidence to defend a design and the openness to revise it.\nStrong ownership across the full delivery lifecycle, not only the design phase.\nAbility to mentor engineers and lead through influence rather than authority.\nComfortable operating with ambiguity in a fast-moving technology space.\nPersonal\nStrong communication and stakeholder management skills,

Skills\nJob\nExperience architecting multi-agent systems and complex autonomous workflows.\nExposure to multimodal AI covering vision, speech or document understanding.\nExperience with inference optimization and serving at scale (vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Triton, quantization).\nExperience deploying open-weight models on-premise or in-VPC for data-sensitive clients.\nKnowledge of graph-based retrieval (GraphRAG) and knowledge-graph modelling.\nFamiliarity with AI governance and responsible AI frameworks (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001).\nExperience with data platform architecture and pipelines (Airflow, dbt, Spark, lakehouse patterns).\nPre-sales, solutioning or client-facing consulting experience in a services organisation.\nDomain depth in one or more of BFSI, healthcare,
