Job Summary
Intelance is a specialist architecture and AI consultancy working with clients in regulated high-trust environments (healthcare pharma life sciences financial services). We are building a small senior team to deliver an AI-assisted clinical tool for a UK-based organisation in human genetic testing. This is a contract / freelance role where you will act as the lead AI Solution Architect on a real production system .
Tasks
- Own the end-to-end solution architecture for an AI-assisted tool that reads clinical-style reports (PDF/Word) applies scoring rules and returns explainable outputs into an existing assessment platform.
- Translate business goals marking rubrics and regulatory constraints into a concrete technical blueprint (data flows components interfaces security boundaries).
- Design a hybrid scoring approach that combines deterministic rules with LLM-powered NLP including confidence scoring thresholds and human-in-the-loop workflows.
- Define the data ingestion pipeline together with a Data Engineer (OCR parsing normalisation metadata lineage logging).
- Shape the integration pattern with the clients existing QA/assessment system (API CSV import/export SFTP drop-zone) ensuring robustness and traceability.
- Work closely with the ML Engineer to choose modelling approaches evaluation metrics and explainability patterns that are realistic for a regulated environment.
- Collaborate with a Compliance/Validation lead to ensure the design supports GDPR UK data protection and GxP/UKAS-style validation requirements (audit trails evidence access control).
- Produce clear design artefacts: architecture diagrams interface specs data schemas non-functional requirements and decision logs.
- Support the Delivery Lead/PM with estimates risk identification and delivery planning across discovery pilot and integration phases.
- Join client workshops (remote UK hours) to present options explain trade-offs and help non-technical stakeholders understand how the solution will work in practice.
