Key Responsibilities:

• Solution Architecture & Design: Lead the design of end-to-end AI solutions that align with both business objectives and technical requirements. Develop architecture blueprints covering model development, data pipelines, deployment frameworks, and system integrations—with a strong focus on GenAI, NLP, computer vision, and multimodal AI applications. Leverage deep knowledge of AI/ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face) and enterprise architecture best practices (e.g., microservices, APIs, cloud-native design).
• AI Infrastructure & Deployment: Architect robust and secure AI platforms that support real-time inference, batch processing, and scalable enterprise workloads. Implement hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud strategies using modern data infrastructure (Kafka, Spark, data lakes), MLOps practices, and deployment platforms. Ensure compliance with data privacy regulations and responsible AI standards, incorporating governance, observability, and security controls into the architecture.
• Strategic AI Leadership: Act as a technical advisor and thought leader on AI strategy and innovation across the organization. Define standards and frameworks for AI development and operations, contribute to the long-term roadmap, and mentor technical teams on AI best practices. Demonstrate thought leadership through internal knowledge-sharing, and, where applicable, public engagements or open-source contributions.
• Technology Evaluation & Innovation: Stay at the forefront of AI innovation, evaluating new tools, frameworks, and methodologies for business impact. Provide clear, evidence-based recommendations to drive innovation while maintaining alignment with enterprise architecture and operational readiness. Translate rapidly evolving GenAI trends into practical, production-grade solutions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with data scientists, software engineers, product managers, and business leaders to define technical requirements and deliver value-driven solutions. Facilitate clear and actionable communication of complex AI concepts, ensuring alignment across technical and non-technical teams.
• Client & Stakeholder Engagement: Lead architecture reviews, technical presentations, and proof-of-concept efforts for internal and external stakeholders. Serve as a trusted advisor in client engagements, articulating solution value and translating business needs into scalable AI-driven architectures.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field
• 7–10 years of experience in solution architecture, software engineering, or related technical roles, with 4–5 years focused on AI/ML
• Proven success designing and deploying AI solutions in production environments, including GenAI, NLP, and computer vision
• Strong understanding of the AI solution lifecycle—from business case and requirements gathering to deployment and monitoring
• Experience in client-facing roles, global teams, or consulting environments
• Strong communicator with the ability to influence both executive and technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's or PhD in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Computer Science, or related discipline
• Professional certifications such as AWS Certified Machine Learning Specialty, Google Cloud ML Engineer, or Azure AI Engineer Associate
