Everyone is trying to "harness the cloud," but not everyone knows how. As a cloud computing application architect, you know how to create a cloud-based technical architecture that meets client needs and takes advantage of cloud capabilities.

You'll recommend tools and solutions based on your research of the current environment and knowledge of various on-premise, cloud-based, and hybrid resources. You'll use your experience to guide your team as they help the client overcome their most difficult challenges in the cloud.

We are seeking a Senior AI/ML Architect with 10+ years of experience to lead the design and integration of AI/ML solutions within an enterprise cloud platform supporting AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. This role requires expertise in cloud-native AI/ML services, especially on AWS and Google Cloud, and the ability to architect solutions that both enhance cloud platform operations and deliver AI/ML capabilities to customers.

What You'll Work On:

• Architect AI/ML solutions for cloud platform operations.
• Apply AI/ML to optimize provisioning, scaling, monitoring, cost management, and security across multi-cloud environments.
• Design customer-facing AI/ML services.
• Build and manage offerings such as predictive analytics, NLP, computer vision, and generative AI using cloud-native services.
• Develop reference architectures and patterns, including for AI/ML workloads across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, ensuring scalability, resilience, and compliance.
• Integrate cloud-native AI/ML services including AWS such as SageMaker, Comprehend, Rekognition, Forecast, or Bedrock, Google Cloud, such as Vertex AI, AutoML, BigQuery ML, or Generative AI Studio, and Azure, such as Azure Machine Learning, or Cognitive Services.
• Enable MLOps and automation.
• Standardize CI/CD for ML pipelines, implement feature stores, model registries, and automated retraining workflows.
• Design data ingestion, transformation, and storage strategies for structured and unstructured data, leverage data lakes and warehouses.
