Senior Generative AI Tech Lead / Architect - Cybersecurity

The Senior Generative AI Tech Lead is a key member of the Siemens Cybersecurity (CYS) organization, operating at the intersection of technical leadership, Generative AI engineering, and strategic planning. This role sits within the CYS AI & Platforms team and carries a dual mandate: driving hands-on technical delivery of Generative AI solutions across cybersecurity and productivity use cases, while co-shaping the long-term AI strategy for the CYS organization. The Senior Generative AI Tech Lead leads projects end-to-end - from solution design and architecture to prototyping and implementation - and acts as a key contributor to the CYS AI governance model, reusable blueprint development, and cross-team AI initiative coordination. She/He translates complex business and cybersecurity requirements into scalable, secure, and production-grade Generative AI solutions built on top of the Siemens foundation AI platform, which leverages Microsoft Azure. Responsibilities

• Lead projects end-to-end as Tech Lead: own solution design, architecture definition (4+1 Architectural View Model), prototyping, and implementation guidance across Generative AI use cases in cybersecurity and productivity increase domains.
• Design and architect scalable Generative AI solutions leveraging techniques such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Agentic AI, prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and multi-modal AI, built on top of the Siemens CYS AI platform.
• Support the CYS Platforms Department in defining and executing a long-term AI strategy, contributing to governance frameworks, portfolio visibility, and structured onboarding of AI use cases across CYS.
• Develop reusable blueprints, architecture patterns, and guidelines for secure Generative AI components and common CYS use cases, promoting standardization, reuse, and faster time-to-implementation.
• Support a shared vendor and technology strategy across CYS, contributing to the reduction of fragmentation and improving alignment on AI services and architectural choices (e.g., Azure OpenAI, LangChain, Hugging Face).
• Collaborate with the CYS AI Strategy team on prioritizing AI initiatives, identifying overlaps across teams, and coordinating efforts in a structured and transparent way.
• Enable a standardized operational support model by promoting best practices in AI monitoring, lifecycle management, ownership definition, and maintenance across CYS AI use cases.
• Mentor and guide team members on Generative AI engineering practices, code quality, and solution design, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders - including cybersecurity analysts, platform engineers, and business owners - to gather requirements and translate them into AI-driven solutions.
• Design AI experiments, evaluate results, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Apply advanced skills to resolve complex, cross-functional problems independently and with a high level of critical thinking., * Belong & Innovate: Work in diverse teams where every idea matters and innovation grows through collaboration and trust.
• Flexibility that Works: Hybrid model, flexible hours, and a home office budget - because balance fuels performance.
• Health & Well-being: Comprehensive health insurance, mental health support, and active sports communities to keep you feeling your best.
• Grow Without Limits: Access world-class learning platforms, mentoring, and continuous development opportunities.
• Purpose & Perks: Contribute to sustainability and volunteer initiatives, enjoy partner discounts, and take advantage of our convenient shuttle service.
