About the Role

Capgemini is hiring a hands‑on Managing Solution Architect to design and implement end‑to‑end cloud, data analytics, and AI platforms. The role focuses on technical leadership: coding, building prototypes, guiding development teams, and delivering production‑grade, scalable AI and data solutions.

Job Description

Role

Managing Solution Architect focused on Cloud, Data Analytics, and AI. This is a highly technical, implementation‑focused position responsible for designing architecture blueprints, selecting appropriate technologies, driving hands‑on development, and guiding teams to deliver production‑grade solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead day‑to‑day coding, technical builds, and engineering delivery for end‑to‑end data and AI platforms.
• Partner with client delivery teams to execute complex platform and cloud migrations, and tech‑stack modernization projects.
• Build and scale enterprise blueprints (e.g., Data Lake Medallion, event‑driven, domain‑driven, microservices) into functional application stacks.
• Create rapid technical prototypes and proof‑of‑concepts to support presales activities.
• Collaborate with technology alliance partners (AWS, Microsoft, Google, Snowflake, Databricks, Anthropic) to leverage platform features.
• Lead sprint teams from an engineering perspective, own deployment pipelines, environment configuration, and resolve critical development blockages.

Requirements

• Minimum 14 years of IT industry experience and at least 6 years in an architecture capacity.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
• Industry awareness across sectors such as Manufacturing, Automotive, Life Sciences, Telecommunications, Media, Hi‑Tech, or Energy & Utilities is valued.
• Expert, hands‑on programming with Spark, Scala, and Java in major hyperscaler environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud); professional cloud certifications preferred.
• Practical implementation experience with AI platforms and ecosystems such as AWS Bedrock, AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, Azure ML, and OpenAI.
• Deep knowledge of LLM workflows: prompt engineering, fine‑tuning, RAG, vector databases, agent architectures/Agent Mesh, model routing, orchestration, and related MLOps/LLMOps practices.
• Familiarity with AI developer productivity tools (e.g., Cursor, Codex, Claude Code) and technologies like LangChain, LlamaIndex, Pinecone, Milvus, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and transformer models (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI models).
• Strong data engineering experience with Python, Spark, BigQuery, Redshift, Synapse, Databricks, Snowflake, and experience with streaming/batch platforms (Glue, Data Factory, DataFlow, Composer, Airflow, Kafka, Flink).
• Experience with data governance tooling (Informatica, Alation, Collibra, Reltio), semantic layers, reusable data products, and secure data sharing.
• Hands‑on experience with DevOps and delivery automation: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Terraform, and git; familiarity with FinOps, infrastructure security, and resilient cloud architecture.
• Base compensation range: $150,000 - $220,000 (base for the posted location).
• Role may be eligible for additional variable incentives, bonuses, or commissions depending on position and local laws.
• Benefits (U.S. and Canada examples): paid time off by grade (vacation 12–25 days), company holidays, personal days, sick leave, medical/dental/vision coverage, retirement savings plans (e.g., 401(k), RRSP), life and disability insurance, employee assistance programs.
