Works primarily with development and delivery teams to ensure the design is built and delivered successfully, and supports the sales and offering teams as a technical advisor rather than a commercial owner. Hands-on work is situational - the ability to produce FDE-style mock-ups and prototypes is highly desired. This role is a blend of a technical background and a sales/business background to help deliver AI solutions to clients. This is not a purely AI focused role although that experience is needed.\nKey Responsibilities\nSolution Design and Delivery\nDesign end-to-end AI solution architectures - data pipelines, model serving, integration, and security controls - against functional and non-functional requirements. \nDefine deployment strategy and the path from pilot to production; embed responsible-AI, privacy, and regulatory requirements in the design. \nWork day-to-day with the development team through build - design reviews, backlog shaping, and unblocking technical decisions. \nHands-On Technical Work\nBuild FDE-style mock-ups, prototypes, and thin vertical slices to de-risk a design or make a concept tangible for the client. \nProve out integration patterns, model behavior, and performance assumptions in code before the team commits to them. \nContribute to the codebase where the situation calls for it - spikes, reference implementations, accelerators - without becoming a permanent delivery resource. \nGo-to-Market Support (Sales and Offering Teams)\nProvide and review technical content for RFP/RFI responses, proposals, and SOWs; support pricing with defensible effort and run-cost inputs. \nDesign and run demos, proofs of concept, and pilots with explicit success criteria and a defined route to production. \nConvert repeatable client patterns into productized offerings, accelerators, and reference architectures. \nTechnical Skills\nLanguages & frameworks: Python (primary), SQL, JavaScript/TypeScript; FastAPI, LangChain or LlamaIndex, one agent framework. \nAI/ML: LLM prompting and evaluation, RAG, embeddings and vector stores, fine-tuning, guardrails, inference cost and latency optimization. \nCloud & platforms: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud AI/ML stack; containers (Docker, Kubernetes), IaC (Terraform), CI/CD. \nData: Data modeling, pipelines and ETL/ELT, streaming and batch patterns, lakehouse and warehouse platforms (Databricks, Snowflake, or equivalent). \nEnterprise integration: REST/GraphQL APIs, event-driven and messaging patterns, SSO and identity, integration with ERP, CRM, and ITSM platforms. \nArchitecture & security: Reference and solution architecture documentation, non-functional design (scalability, availability, observability), data privacy and responsible-AI controls. \nRequired Qualifications:\nBachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience. \n2-5 years of combined solution architecture and software development experience, including at least one design taken through to delivery. \nPreferred Qualifications:\nSolid understanding of enterprise business applications - ERP, CRM, ITSM, data platforms - and the integration patterns that connect them. \nPractical experience delivering AI/ML or generative-AI solutions into production, with working knowledge of a major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud). \nCommand of modern AI patterns: RAG, agentic workflows, fine-tuning, evaluation, and guardrails. \nCurrent hands-on ability to produce a credible prototype independently (Python plus a modern AI/agent framework). \nStrong communication - able to explain a design to engineers, client stakeholders, and sales; willing to travel to client sites as needed. \nCloud or AI professional-level certifications (AWS/Azure/GCP architect or ML specialty). \nConsulting, systems integrator, or ISV background supporting sales and offering teams from a delivery-side role. \nIndustry or enterprise functional depth (financial services, healthcare, manufacturing; finance, supply chain, service). \nMLOps/LLMOps tooling experience, or forward-deployed and embedded engineering work inside a client's environment. \nCore Competencies \nArchitectural judgment - chooses the simplest design that meets the requirement and defends the trade-offs. \nBusiness context - fits the design to the client's processes and application landscape. \nAmbiguity tolerance - produces a workable design from incomplete inputs and refines it as facts arrive. \nInfluence without authority - aligns development, delivery, sales, and partners on one solution. \nBuilder's instinct - reaches for a prototype when a document would not settle the question. \nSuccess Measures \nArchitected solutions reaching production on scope and on schedule. \nPilot-to-production conversion rate. \nReuse of reference architectures and accelerators across accounts. \nDevelopment-team and sales feedback on support quality. \n\nWe are an Equal Opportunity Employer and do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, sex, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, status as a veteran, and basis of disability or any federal, state, or local protected class.\n\nAdditional Locations:\n* United States of America - North Carolina - Morrisville\nWe are an Equal Opportunity Employer and do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, sex, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, status as a veteran, and basis of disability or any federal, state, or local protected class.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5745,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Consumer Electronics","Cybersecurity","Laptops"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T14:56:27Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":60,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.8,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":3,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:late","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-12T06:55:09Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/lenovo-ai-solution-architect","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/lenovo-ai-solution-architect.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-12T17:10:50Z","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":27427,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-13T00:00:00Z"}},"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":15044},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=15044"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Flenovo-ai-solution-architect"},{"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%2Flenovo-ai-solution-architect"},{"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%2Flenovo-ai-solution-architect"},{"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/lenovo-ai-solution-architect\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Flenovo-ai-solution-architect"}]}
