AI Architect

Job Title: AI Architect Design and lead enterprise-scale AI, ML, and Generative AI solutions built on AWS and Azure, with Microsoft Copilot as the primary user experience layer. Responsible for end-to-end AI solution architecture, ensuring alignment with enterprise systems, scalability, governance, and integration into the broader IT landscape. Requires deep expertise in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Agentic AI architecture on cloud-native platforms. Platform & Enablement Roles AI Platform Admin (M365, Copilot Studio) – Manages AI platforms and environments, including access provisioning, governance controls, and policy enforcement (e.g., DLP, security, compliance). AI Reusable Utility – Develops reusable components (prompts, connectors, APIs, templates) to accelerate AI solution delivery and promote standardization across use cases. AI Common Infrastructure, Framework & Observability Architect (AWS and Azure) – Designs and maintains foundational AI infrastructure, frameworks, and observability capabilities (telemetry, monitoring, metrics) required for scalable, reliable, governed AI operations. Core Responsibilities Architectural Design – Define end-to-end blueprints spanning data ingestion, model training, inference, and continuous monitoring; ensure models scale efficiently and align with enterprise systems and governance standards. Enterprise Integration – Seamlessly embed AI/ML features and multi-agent workflows into legacy applications, ERPs, and cloud-native systems. Governance & Compliance – Implement ethical AI guardrails, model risk management, data privacy protections, and explainability standards. Scalability & MLOps – Establish CI/CD for AI, model versioning, automated retraining, and drift detection to prevent performance degradation. Tech Stack Strategy – Make build‑vs‑buy decisions for infrastructure, weighing tradeoffs of on‑premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. Serve as a technical thought leader for AI, GenAI, and data platforms. Mentor data scientists, ML engineers, and data engineers. Collaborate with business and product teams to translate requirements into AI‑driven solutions. Evaluate emerging AI technologies and guide strategic adoption. Design and define end‑to‑end AI solution architectures covering data ingestion, model training, deployment, monitoring, and governance. Architect solutions for batch and real‑time inference workloads on AWS and Azure. RAG (Retrieval‑Augmented Generation) Architect and implement RAG pipelines using structured and unstructured enterprise data. Design ingestion, chunking, embedding, and retrieval strategies. Integrate vector databases (Pinecone, FAISS, Milvus, Azure AI Search, Amazon OpenSearch). Ensure relevance, freshness, observability, and security of RAG‑based AI systems. Agentic AI & Autonomous Systems Design architecture enabling autonomous decision-making and task execution. Orchestrate multi‑agent systems using tools, memory, and reasoning workflows. Implement guardrails, human‑in‑the‑loop controls, and observability. Enable use cases such as AI assistants, Copilot‑integrated workflows, task automation, and decision intelligence. MLOps & LLMOps Define and implement frameworks for CI/CD, versioning, monitoring, and drift detection. Enable experimentation, evaluation, and governance of ML models and LLM‑based systems. Ensure compliance with security, privacy, and responsible AI guidelines. Required Skills Engineering Foundation – 7+ years deep knowledge of MLOps, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines. Cloud Platforms – 5+ years advanced expertise deploying on AWS, Azure AI, or Google Vertex AI. Data Management – 5+ years proficiency designing feature stores, vector databases, and real‑time/batch data pipelines. AI/ML Frameworks – 3‑5 years familiarity with LLMs, Generative AI, RAG, PyTorch, or TensorFlow. #LI-NorthAmerica Equal Opportunity Employment NTT DATA is an equal opportunity employer.
