We are seeking an experienced Gen AI Solution Architect to design build and deploy reusable Generative AI modules across enterprise applications. The role combines technical leadership product strategy and adoption enablement with a focus on LLM integration RAG workflows and scalable AI solutions.
The ideal candidate has deep experience in LLM/ML engineering software architecture API design and enterprise platform development. This role will define product roadmaps establish standards for Gen AI module reuse and drive adoption across teams.
Define the product vision and roadmap for reusable Gen AI modules (e.g. RAG prompting frameworks hybrid ML/LLM systems)
Architect parameterized business-agnostic solutions that abstract complexity (pre-configured prompts vector DB connectors chunking logic)
Design APIs and microservices to expose modules as reusable components (e.g. text-to-SQL service RAG-as-a-service)
Standardize patterns across use cases (prompt templates chunking strategies few-shot training pipelines)
Integrate LLM workflows (OpenAI Claude LLaMA 2) with traditional ML (clustering classification) and enterprise systems
Optimize Gen AI component performance (cost latency accuracy) and ensure scalability (e.g. load balancing for vector DBs)
Develop documentation tutorials and sandbox environments for testing modules
Train teams on best practices such as prompt engineering and security for LLM outputs
Track module reuse rate contribution volume and time-to-deploy for new use cases
Hands-on experience with LLM integration (OpenAI Anthropic LLaMA 2) and frameworks (LangChain LlamaIndex)
Expertise in RAG workflows document chunking (sentence transformers) vector DBs (Pinecone FAISS) and hybrid search
Familiarity with text-to-SQL systems few-shot / chain-of-thought prompting and traditional ML (scikit-learn PyTorch)
Software engineering proficiency in Python API design (FastAPI Flask) and cloud platforms (AWS Sagemaker Azure AI)
Experience with CI/CD pipelines containerization (Docker) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
Frontend integration using React or Streamlit for configuration UIs
Middleware integration with message queues and authentication systems (e.g. R2D2)
Proven track record of building reusable ML/AI APIs or internal platforms
Ability to define product roadmaps and influence adoption across enterprise teams
Generative AI / LLM architecture
RAG & hybrid ML workflows
API & microservices design
Enterprise AI platform strategy
Cloud-based AI solution deployment
Technical leadership & mentoring
Documentation & adoption enablement
