Role: GenAI Solutions Architect
Location: Remote
Responsibilities:
· Solution Architecture & Design Consulting
· Serve as the consulting architect for AI use-case teams: shape solution designs, data flows, model access patterns, and integration approaches aligned to the enterprise AI platform and gateway architecture.
· Produce and maintain reference architectures, design patterns, and working examples for common use-case shapes (RAG applications, document processing, workflow automation, agent-based patterns).
· Review solution designs against platform standards and governance requirements before build; document findings and drive remediation with delivery teams.
· Advise on model selection, prompt/context architecture, retrieval design, and oversight/guardrail patterns appropriate to each use case''s risk tier.
· Platform Alignment & Standards Adoption
· Ensure all designs route model access through the governed enterprise gateway with correct entitlements, quotas, and logging; prevent parallel or ungoverned access paths.
· Translate governance standards into architecture requirements delivery teams can implement, and feed practical gaps back into the standards process.
· Partner with platform engineering on the evolution of platform capabilities based on real use-case demand.
Document network, identity, data-classification, and environment-separation considerations for solution designs.
· Partner with Cybersecurity architecture on AI threat modeling, prompt-injection risk, and adversarial-testing requirements for solution designs.
· Enablement & Capability Transfer
· Pair with application teams that lack AI delivery experience; provide hands-on design and build guidance through their first implementations.
· Create and deliver architecture enablement materials, design guides, and pattern documentation in repositories.
· Support solution reviews in governance forums with clear, evidence-based architecture assessments.
· Transfer patterns, documentation, and working knowledge to FTEs throughout the engagement so capability persists post-contract.
Mandatory Skills Description:
· Minimum of 7 years'' experience in solution architecture, application architecture, or senior engineering roles, including hands-on delivery of cloud-native applications.
· Hands-on experience architecting and delivering GenAI/LLM-based solutions: model integration, RAG pipelines, prompt/context engineering, and agent or workflow patterns.
· Strong Azure experience: Azure OpenAI/AI services, API Management, Entra ID, Key Vault, networking and landing-zone concepts, and environment separation.
· Demonstrated experience producing reference architectures, integration patterns, and design documentation adopted by multiple teams.
· Experience designing within security, risk, and compliance constraints in a regulated environment.
· Strong consulting skills: stakeholder communication, design facilitation, and the ability to influence without authority.
Nice-to-Have Skills Description:
· Preferred Qualifications
· Financial services experience and familiarity with banking SDLC governance (design gates, architecture review, permit-to-build/operate models).
· Experience with AI gateway/governance patterns: model allowlisting, entitlement-based access, usage controls, audit logging.
· Experience with vector stores, retrieval services, evaluation harnesses, and MCP/tool-integration patterns.
· Experience mentoring teams new to AI delivery.
