AI is being built and shipped across every product line in the portfolio, often in isolation. Duplication of models, tools, and infrastructure is driving up cost and slowing us down. The AI Architect will lead the definition of our target-state AI architecture, stand up the central AI services platform that every product will consume, and drive the delivery roadmap that consolidates and scales AI across the portfolio.\nThe role is technical and strategic. You will make the architecture decisions, then own their execution. You will build a small central team over time, but in the first six months you will operate primarily as a hands-on architect and delivery lead. AI is Phase 1 of a broader central services strategy at PairSoft; the pattern you set here will extend to other shared capabilities.\nResponsibilities / Essential Functions\nArchitecture\nDefine and publish the target-state AI architecture across the product lines, including central services versus application-layer boundaries.\nOwn the technology decisions: foundation model providers, orchestration frameworks, vector stores, evaluation and observability platforms, guardrails, and agent frameworks.\nEstablish architecture decision criteria and the decision-record process. Ensure every significant call is defensible, documented, and revisitable.\nDesign for tenant isolation, PII handling, and regional data residency from day one, working with the CISO on the security envelope.\nDeliveryLead the build of the central AI platform: model gateway, prompt registry, RAG-as-a-service, guardrails and content safety, evals and telemetry, cost attribution, and audit logging.\nOwn the phased roadmap: discovery and decisions, platform build, migration of existing product AI features to the platform, and optimization.\nPartner with product engineering leaders across all product lines to migrate existing AI features onto the central platform without disrupting customer commitments.\nSet the operational bar: observability, SLOs, incident response, and on-call model for AI services.\nGovernance & EconomicsStand up per-request cost tagging and the AI unit economics dashboard. Track cost per feature, per customer, and per model. Enforce budgets and rate limits per tenant.\nChair a cross-product AI Council to govern shared standards, new use case intake, and vendor decisions.\nOwn vendor relationships for AI infrastructure and tooling. Lead build-versus-buy analysis and commercial negotiation with product and finance partners.\nPrepare and represent the AI architecture and roadmap in leadership reviews and private-equity sponsor conversations, including technical due diligence.\nTeamRecruit and lead the AI Platform team as the function grows.\nEstablish the operating model between the central platform team and embedded AI engineers across product lines.\nMentor engineers across the portfolio on AI patterns, evaluation practices, and safe deployment.\nRequirements\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent.\n10+ years of engineering experience, with at least 5 years in senior architecture roles at enterprise B2B SaaS companies.\n3+ years of hands-on production experience with LLM-based systems: RAG, agents, evaluation, prompt engineering, and inference optimization.\n3+ years people management experience, including recruitment, motivation and development of 3+ teams in global setting.\nDemonstrated track record building an AI or ML platform consumed by multiple product teams. You have designed and shipped shared infrastructure, not just individual features.\nStrong delivery leadership. You have shipped platforms on time, on budget, and with the operational discipline required to run them in production.\nDeep cloud-native architecture experience on Azure and AWS. Comfort with Kubernetes, IaC, and modern data platforms.\nFluency across the modern LLM ecosystem: OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, Bedrock, open-source models, LangChain or LlamaIndex, vector databases, and observability tools like LangSmith or Langfuse.\nClear grasp of AI security and compliance: prompt injection, tenant isolation, PII handling, SOC 2, GDPR, and the vendor risk questions PE-owned SaaS companies face.\nAbility to communicate architecture decisions and tradeoffs to executive audiences, including private equity sponsors and technical due diligence teams.\nFluency in English\nPreferred Qualifications\nDomain experience in procure-to-pay, ERP integration, accounts payable, procurement, or adjacent finance and operations software.\nPrior experience at an international PE-backed B2B SaaS company, ideally one that went through or is preparing for a liquidity event.\nExperience integrating and consolidating AI capabilities across products acquired through mergers and acquisitions.\nDirect experience with agent frameworks in production (LangGraph, AutoGen, or custom orchestration), fine-tuning, and multi-model routing.\nExperience leading a central platform team through a technology consolidation program.\nPrior participation in technical due diligence, either as owner or advisor.\nWork and Physical Requirements\nThis position may work from home and/or office environment. Working in an office environment may require prolonged sitting, work in an air-conditioned environment, ability to work with others at various noise levels and ability to lift up to 30 pounds or 15 kg.\nOther Duties\nThis job description is not intended to be a complete list of responsibilities.
