The Opportunity:
End-to-End System Architecture:
Define and design AI and non-AI components of software applications, ensuring modularity, scalability, and security
Architect solutions that integrate GenAI capabilities into enterprise systems while ensuring seamless interoperability with backend services, APIs, databases, and user interfaces
Ensure adherence to cloud-native best practices across AWS and Azure deployments, including containerization, orchestration, and infrastructure as code
AI Model Integration & Optimization:
Define robust patterns for utilizing LLMs, multimodal models, and RAG and agentic systems
Design efficient model-serving pipelines, integrating AI capabilities into existing business workflows
Enterprise-Grade Software Engineering:
Ensure that AI applications follow software engineering best practices, including version control, CI/CD, automated testing, and code quality assurance
Architect secure and scalable APIs to facilitate seamless communication between AI models, databases, and user interfaces
Design data pipelines that efficiently handle structured and unstructured data, ensuring AI models receive high-quality input data
Observability, Performance & Security:
Define monitoring and logging strategies for AI-driven applications to ensure model performance, API health, and data integrity
Implement AI observability practices, ensuring visibility into model behavior, drift detection, and anomaly identification
Design architectures that adhere to data governance, security, compliance, and ethical AI guidelines
Collaboration & Governance:
Work closely with ML Engineers, Data Scientists, Software Engineers, Business Analysts, Product Owners and other members of Agile development teams to translate business requirements into AI-driven architectures
Provide technical leadership in AI architecture reviews, design discussions, and solution validation
