This role will lead the architecture and governance of a multi-platform AI ecosystem, spanning AWS (Bedrock, SageMaker), Databricks (Mosaic AI), Claude for Enterprise, and emerging AI-native / agentic engineering tools and platforms. The architect will ensure scalable, secure, and compliant deployment of AI capabilities while enabling rapid experimentation and adoption. A critical success factor is the ability to stay ahead of industry trends, quickly validate new technologies, and operationalize high-value capabilities in a regulated life sciences environment., 1. AI Platform Strategy & Architecture * Help define and mature Exelixis' enterprise AI platform architecture across cloud and data ecosystems * Design interoperable solutions spanning: * AWS AI stack (Bedrock, SageMaker, model hosting, orchestration) * Databricks / Mosaic AI (ML lifecycle, feature engineering, LLM ops) * Claude for Enterprise (secure conversational AI and enterprise workflows) * Establish patterns for multi-model orchestration, RAG architectures, and agent frameworks 2. AI Capability Engineering & Operations * Operationalize reusable AI capabilities: * Model access layers (LLMs, fine-tuned models) * Prompt, tool, and agent orchestration frameworks * Evaluation, monitoring, and observability pipelines * Enable secure, compliant AI usage (GxP, HIPAA where applicable) * Implement AI platform guardrails: * Data access controls * Responsible AI policies * Auditability and traceability 3. Agentic & AI-Native Engineering (Next-Gen SDLC) * Drive adoption of agentic software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices * Define frameworks for: * Spec-driven agentic development (Claude Code, Github Copilot, code agents) * Autonomous/semiautonomous agents across workflows * Integrate AI-native platforms into enterprise engineering workflows (CI/CD, DevSecOps) 4. Innovation & Technology Scouting * Continuously scan AI/ML ecosystem trends (foundation models, agent frameworks, enterprise AI tooling) * Rapidly prototype and validate emerging capabilities (e.g., new Bedrock models, Mosaic AI features, agent frameworks) * Create POCs pilots enterprise rollout pathways 5. Cross-Functional Enablement * Partner with: * Cloud Engineering, Data engineering, and platform teams for integration patterns * Security, compliance, and governance stakeholders * Develop architectural guidance and design standards to engineering teams * Enable internal adoption through reference architectures, playbooks, and reusable assets ## Related Videos - [Blueprints for Success: Steering a Global Data & AI Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1577-blueprints-for-success-steering-a-global-data-ai-architecture) - [Beyond GPT: Building Unified GenAI Platforms for the Enterprise of Tomorrow](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1525-beyond-gpt-building-unified-genai-platforms-for-the-enterprise-of-tomorrow) - [Cutting LLM Costs Without Cutting Quality: How to Beat Proprietary LLMs with Fine-Tuned Open Source](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100151-cutting-llm-costs-without-cutting-quality-how-to-beat-proprietary-llms-with-fine-tuned-open-source) - [DevSecOps: Injecting Security into Mobile CI/CD Pipelines](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/273-devsecops-injecting-security-into-mobile-ci-cd-pipelines) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1209-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou) - [From A2A to MCP: How AI’s “Brains” are Connecting to “Arms and Legs”](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1631-from-a2a-to-mcp-how-ai-s-brains-are-connecting-to-arms-and-legs) ## Related Articles - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
