AI Architect

We have an exciting opportunity for an AI Architect with one of our direct clients. Job Title: AI Architect Duration: Long-Term Contract Job Summary: We are seeking a highly experienced AI Architect with 10+ years of software engineering experience and a strong background in designing, building, and deploying production-grade AI solutions. In this role, you will lead the architecture and development of a next-generation Disposition Engine that transforms deterministic detections into scalable, explainable, and auditable AI-driven decisions within a regulated financial services environment. The ideal candidate will be responsible for defining the end-to-end AI architecture, designing deterministic and LLM-based reasoning pipelines, building evaluation frameworks, and leading technical design discussions while remaining hands-on with coding, code reviews, and production deployments. You will collaborate closely with engineering teams and business stakeholders to develop scalable AI systems that leverage Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Knowledge Graphs, Agentic AI, and AWS cloud technologies. Key Responsibilities: Design and own the end-to-end architecture for AI-powered decision and reasoning systems. Build scalable deterministic and LLM-based decision pipelines with explainability and auditability. Define AI evaluation strategies, validation frameworks, confidence scoring, and regression testing. Architect Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Knowledge Graph, and multi-agent AI workflows. Lead technical design sessions, mentor engineering teams, and review production-quality code. Drive AI solution development using modern AI coding assistants while following best practices for MLOps, testing, CI/CD, and software engineering. Ensure AI solutions meet regulatory, governance, and compliance requirements with reproducible decision-making. Required Skills: 10+ years of software engineering experience with strong expertise in Python. Extensive experience building production-grade AI/LLM applications using AWS Bedrock (Claude) or similar platforms. Strong knowledge of Agentic AI frameworks such as LangGraph or equivalent, including multi-agent orchestration, prompt engineering, context management, and tool integration. Hands-on experience with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Knowledge Graphs (Neo4j/Amazon Neptune), semantic search, and retrieval pipeline optimization. Experience designing deterministic AI workflows, evaluation harnesses, golden datasets, confidence calibration, and model validation strategies. Strong understanding of AI architecture, system design, scalable distributed applications, and cloud-native development on AWS. Experience with SQL Server, Informatica PowerCenter, AWS DMS, CI/CD pipelines, and modern AI coding tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. Excellent communication, technical leadership, and stakeholder management skills. Experience working on large-scale modernization, migration, or AI transformation programs within regulated enterprise environments is highly preferred. #J-18808-Ljbffr BeaconFire Inc.
