AI Architect | Digital Products & AI

This practice is built for the way enterprise software actually gets made now: small senior pods AI agents doing much of the build and outcomes in weeks where traditional delivery approaches took months. We build digital products AI agents intelligent workflows and modernized platforms that help organizations operate differently across healthcare and life sciences manufacturing energy and utilities transportation and consumer industries. None of it is pilots or demos. The solutions we build run in production and solve problems that matter to our clients businesses.

As an AI Architect youll work directly with clients to shape design and lead the delivery of those solutions. Working alongside Product Strategists and AI Engineers youll own the delivery architecture for complex engagements translating business problems into executable solutions and ensuring what gets built remains aligned to what was designed. Youll help shape opportunities before delivery begins and stay close to them throughout implementation. On some engagements we continue to run what weve built giving you the opportunity to stay close to the product and see the impact of your work long after go-live.

This is a hands-on architecture and engineering role. Most of the code here is written by agents. That does not make this a supervision job. It moves the engineering upstream where strong engineering judgment becomes even more important. Youll define the architecture controls and acceptance criteria that determine whether a solution succeeds in production while helping teams navigate ambiguity and move delivery forward. Youll be expected to make technical decisions that stand up not only in delivery but also in front of client technology leaders who will ultimately be accountable for the outcome. Requirements do not always arrive fully formed and part of the role is helping define the problem while continuing to move delivery forward.

As part of the Digital Products & AI team you can expect to:

• Own the delivery architecture for digital products AI agents intelligent workflows and modernization initiatives ensuring solutions remain aligned from discovery through deployment.

• Architect the elements that determine whether AI solutions succeed in production including tool selection memory and context management guardrail design and human-in-the-loop controls.

• Define build and guide the implementation of the technical components that power agentic systems including retrieval pipelines MCP services and integrations and the systems that connect AI capabilities to enterprise data and processes at scale.

• Modernize platforms and applications around current business needs rebuilding where necessary rather than simply moving legacy functionality onto newer technology.

• Design security and operational resilience into solutions from the start including access controls identity management deployment guardrails and oversight of automated actions.

• Break down complex problems into deliverable components defining scope sequencing implementation approaches and delivery plans while determining feasibility and technical risk.

• Create reusable patterns approaches and tooling that strengthen future engagements with the strongest ideas becoming capabilities and products we take to market.

Qualifications :

You have a track record of designing building and delivering complex technology solutions in production environments. While our delivery model may be new to you well bring you up to speed on how we plan execute and assure our work.

To be successful youll have:

  • Experience leading architecture and technical delivery for complex software cloud or digital transformation initiatives while still building and operating production software.
  • Strong software engineering skills ideally including Python and TypeScript.
  • Experience designing and delivering cloud-native systems on AWS Azure or GCP.
• AI engineering
  • Hands-on experience building AI applications and agent-based systems in production. Experience with orchestration frameworks such as LangChain LangGraph LlamaIndex or similar technologies and the judgment to know when an orchestration layer earns its complexity.
  • Experience building retrieval-enabled systems and working with technologies such as pgvector Elasticsearch or OpenSearch with an understanding of the trade-offs between retrieval quality latency and cost.
• Architecture and delivery leadership
  • Experience integrating applications with enterprise systems data platforms APIs identity providers and MCP-enabled services.
  • Experience owning solution architecture for complex technology initiatives including decomposition sequencing and technical decision-making across delivery teams.
  • Strong technical judgment communication skills and the ability to navigate ambiguity while working directly with clients and multidisciplinary teams balancing delivery speed with quality security and long-term maintainability.
  • Experience working directly with senior technology stakeholders and credibility discussing solution approaches with engineering leaders and client CTOs.

Ideally youll also bring:

• Experience delivering solutions within consulting professional services or time as a technical founder.
• Experience in healthcare and life sciences manufacturing energy and utilities transportation or consumer industries.
• Experience building reusable platforms tooling or AI solutions in regulated environments.
