What You'll Do

• Design the enterprise AI/ML architecture, including reference patterns and multi-entity / multi-tenant architectures with governed data boundaries
• Evaluate and select AI platforms, frameworks, and cloud services
• Establish technical standards for model development, testing, and deployment
• Design agentic search and retrieval systems for enterprise knowledge grounding
• Review and approve architecture for all AI use cases after they reach production
• Define data architecture requirements for ML pipelines
• Lead build vs. buy evaluations for AI tooling
• Mentor technical team members and drive engineering excellence
• Stay current on AI/ML technology trends and assess their relevance to our roadmap

Qualifications

• 8+ years in software or data architecture, with 4+ years focused on ML systems
• Deep expertise in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and their ML services
• Proven experience designing production ML pipelines at enterprise scale
• Strong understanding of MLOps, model monitoring, and deployment patterns
• Experience with both traditional ML and modern LLM/GenAI architectures
• Familiarity with core enterprise infrastructure architecture

Skills

• Languages: Python, SQL, and Scala for ML and data engineering
• ML frameworks: PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, and Hugging Face
• MLOps: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, MLflow, and model registries
• Cloud & data: AWS, Azure, GCP, Spark, Airflow, and feature stores
