Project Description A leading financial services client is seeking a GenAI Solutions Architect to serve as the hands-on consulting architect ensuring AI use cases across the bank are designed and connected the right way — aligned to the enterprise AI platform architecture, approved integration patterns, and governance standards. As business and technology teams stand up AI-enabled applications, this role is their design partner, translating platform capabilities and standards into concrete, buildable solution architectures and reviewing designs before they harden. This is a deeply technical role for an architect who still builds: producing reference architectures, integration patterns, and working examples, while pairing with delivery teams to accelerate adoption and prevent rework and governance escapes.
