Senior Solutions Architect - Emerging Technologies (AI, GenAI, ML)

Responsibilities

• Lead discovery with business and technology partners to understand objectives, constraints, current-state systems, and integration points.
• Document current-state architecture and define target-state designs including system context diagrams, component designs, integration patterns, and data flows.
• Design and modernize applications into cloud-compatible or cloud-native architectures using microservices, serverless, and event-driven patterns where appropriate.
• Create strategies, roadmaps, and migration designs for transitioning applications and data workloads to cloud platforms.
• Design AI and ML-enabled solutions, including model integration into products and business processes, and patterns for scalable inference and low-latency serving where needed.
• Design Generative AI solution patterns, such as retrieval-augmented generation, tool and API integration, prompt and context management, and evaluation approaches.
• Define reference architectures for AI platforms and enabling capabilities, such as data pipelines, feature and embedding generation, vector storage, model endpoints, and integration with enterprise APIs.
• Establish best practices for MLOps and AI operations, including model versioning, deployment, monitoring, drift detection, incident response, and cost management.
• Incorporate security-by-design practices into architectures, including identity and access controls, encryption, secrets management, secure networking, and audit logging.
• Partner with governance and risk stakeholders to ensure responsible AI considerations are incorporated, including privacy, explainability, safety, compliance, and model risk controls as applicable.
• Drive alignment and adoption of proposed solutions by clearly communicating tradeoffs, risks, and value and obtaining stakeholder alignment and governance approvals.
