Your role and responsibilities
Enterprise AI Solution Architecture
• Architect end-to-end enterprise AI solutions that integrate AI models, data platforms, and enterprise systems into cohesive, production-grade architectures
• Define integration patterns across AI services, APIs, data pipelines, and core business systems to ensure interoperability and extensibility
• Translate complex business requirements into scalable AI-powered solution designs, with clear articulation of tradeoffs, risks, and value drivers
• Lead architecture design reviews and provide hands-on guidance to delivery teams across active engagements
• Contribute to practice development by building reusable assets, frameworks, and point-of-views that strengthen our AI delivery capability
Platform Engineering & Cloud Infrastructure
• Design and implement Azure-based AI platform infrastructure that supports scalable model deployment, data ingestion, and application integration
• Define infrastructure-as-code standards and CI/CD pipeline patterns for AI workloads, enabling repeatable and auditable deployments
• Architect cloud-native environments optimized for AI throughput, cost efficiency, and operational resilience
• Establish platform engineering standards that enable development teams to build, test, and ship AI solutions faster and more reliably
• Evaluate and recommend emerging platform capabilities, cloud services, and tooling that advance our delivery approach
Observability, Governance & Development Lifecycle
• Design observability frameworks for AI systems including model monitoring, prompt evaluation, drift detection, and performance alerting
• Define AI governance standards covering responsible AI principles, audit trails, explainability requirements, and human-in-the-loop controls
• Establish development lifecycle practices for AI — from experimentation and model validation through to production deployment and ongoing operations
• Implement guardrail frameworks and safety controls for agentic and generative AI workloads to ensure appropriate oversight and auditability
• Champion MLOps and AI engineering best practices across the team, ensuring solutions are maintainable, observable, and continuously improvable
Thought Leadership & Practice Growth
• Serve as a senior technical voice both internally and with clients, sharing expertise, identifying emerging patterns, and helping define our AI point of view
• Mentor architects and engineers on platform engineering, governance, and AI architecture best practices
• Engage in pre-sales and solutioning activities, helping shape proposals and articulate our technical differentiation
This role can be performed from anywhere in the US.
Required technical and professional expertise
• 8+ years of experience in enterprise architecture, with demonstrated expertise spanning AI/ML, cloud infrastructure, and systems integration
• Hands-on experience designing enterprise AI solutions on Azure, including Azure OpenAI, Azure Machine Learning, and supporting data services
• Strong grounding in platform engineering, infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Bicep), and CI/CD pipeline design for AI workloads
• Experience building observability and monitoring solutions for AI/ML systems in production environments
• Proven ability to define and enforce AI governance, responsible AI, and compliance frameworks at enterprise scale
• Comfortable leading design conversations with both technical teams and client stakeholders
Preferred technical and professional experience
• Familiarity with agentic AI architectures, orchestration frameworks (LangChain, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen), and RAG pipeline design
• Experience with Azure data platform services including Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Azure Data Factory
• Knowledge of MLOps practices including model versioning, A/B testing, canary deployments, and feedback loop design
• Background contributing to a consulting practice or Center of Excellence — building frameworks, POVs, and reusable assets
