Principal Solution Architect

Role Overview

As a Principal Solution Architect, you will be the primary technical strategist for our most complex, high-stakes enterprise engagements. You will bridge the gap between sophisticated Data Engineering architectures and cutting-edge AI/ML applications to solve real-world business challenges. This is a high-impact role requiring a blend of deep technical hands-on-keyboard expertise and executive-level storytelling.

Key Responsibilities

• Technical Discovery & Strategy: Lead deep-dive discovery sessions to uncover client pain points. Translate messy data landscapes into elegant, scalable AI/ML roadmaps.

• Architectural Design: Design end-to-end data architectures—from ingestion and transformation (ETL/ELT) to model deployment (MLOps) and visualization.

• Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as the voice of the customer for Product and Engineering teams to influence the product roadmap based on market feedback.

• Trusted Advisor: Build long-term relationships with CTOs, CDOs, and Lead Data Scientists, guiding them through the complexities of AI governance, ethics, and scalability.

Requirements

Technical Requirements

• Data Engineering (Mastery): 8+ years of experience with distributed systems (Spark, Flink), modern data stacks (Snowflake, Databricks), and orchestration tools (Airflow, dbt).

• AI/ML Expertise: Proven experience deploying ML models into production. Deep understanding of the ML lifecycle (MLOps), vector databases (Pinecone, Milvus), and fine-tuning Large Language Models (LLMs).

• Cloud Infrastructure: Expert-level proficiency in at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform), specifically around data and AI services (e.g., SageMaker, Vertex AI).

• Architecture: Experience designing microservices-based architectures and API integrations.

Travel Flexibility: Flexbilit of travelling to client sites. You thrive in face-to-face environments where high-touch technical strategy and relationship building are key to executing complex deals.
