Ai Architect (Ua/Ru Language Speaking)

Join Neurons Lab as the AI Architect on a flagship engagement with a European private investment group - a holding company with a C-level executive team, an investment/portfolio function and an affiliated family office. The programme builds one private, access-scoped context layer over the group’s data - calls, email, Slack and messengers, board protocols, decks, portfolio updates - and then AI skills and agents that run on it: first for the executive team, then for every employee. Two loops sit on the same layer: alignment (strategy, OKRs and goal drift made visible) and efficiency (a process miner that reads real workflows from the digital footprint, then optimizer agents that ship the automations). Four phases - Capture ? Connect ? Distill ? Build - over roughly eight to ten two-week sprints, opening with a fixed-fee two-week Sprint 0 readiness pass (data-access audit, ontology spec, legal checklist across jurisdictions). A family-office workstream runs in parallel on the same squad. This is deliberately not a wrapper around an off-the-shelf platform. The client wants infrastructure they own, deployed privately, with role-based access for people and full visibility for the AI. The same architecture becomes a NeuronsLab product line, so you are designing something that has to survive being redeployed for the next client.Stage: pre-contract / design-partner negotiation. Duration: multi-phase, ~4-5 months to production for the executive pilot, with rollout beyond it. Reporting: CTO (@Alex Honchar) and CEO are in the room at every key point - architecture, sprint planning, sprint reviews. You own the technical decisions between those points, working alongside an AI Analyst (1.0 FTE) and a Data Engineer (0.5 FTE), plus the client’s Head of Security from day one.This role is full-time.What You’ll Actually Do (example Tasks)Run the Sprint 1 decision spike and write the decision record: one central private-cloud store vs. a semantic layer over the existing systems of record vs. ready platforms (Gemini Enterprise, Glean-class, Cohere-class, open components) - scored on security, access control, speed, cost and reversibility.Design the ontology / semantic layer for the group: entities, relationships and business definitions spanning people, meetings, decisions, commitments, goals, deals, portfolio companies and documents.Architect the connector layer as an execution layer, not just an ingestion layer - MCP / tool-calling (Composio-class or built) so agents can act in HubSpot, mail, Slack and internal systems, not merely read a stream of data.Design role-scoped retrieval: the principle is that AI sees everything and people keep role-based access. Make that enforceable at the retrieval layer, not just in the UI, and evidence it to the client’s security function.Architect the agent layer: per-executive skills (Chief of Staff / CIO / CFO / COO), the OKR & drift coach delivered in Slack, and the process miner ? optimizer chain.Choose and stand up the private deployment - VPC / on-prem / managed, model selection and routing, cost and latency envelopes.Build the eval and observability harness: correctness, groundedness, access-boundary tests, regression suites before anything reaches an executive.Establish standards and failure-mode design - human-in-the-loop boundaries for agents that take real actions, audit trails, rollback.Stay hands-on: implement the critical pieces yourself, review the pod’s work, and keep the build portable enough to redeploy as a NeuronsLab offering.Explain all of the above to a C-level audience in plain language, in review sessions and working groups.SkillsAgentic system architecture end to end: retrieval, tools, orchestration, memory, evals, guardrailsOntology / knowledge-graph engineering and semantic layers over heterogeneous sources (RDF/OWL, Neo4j, dbt-style modelling - pragmatism over purity)RAG / GraphRAG at production quality, including hybrid retrieval and permission-aware retrievalMCP, tool-calling and connector platforms; designing agents that perform actions with side effects safelyPrivate / sovereign deployment: VPC, on-prem, self-hosted or open-weight models; AWS and/or GCP data + AI stackIdentity, access control and data governance applied to AI systems (RBAC/ABAC, scoping, audit)Strong hands-on Python; comfortable writing the hard 20% of the code yourselfEvals & observability for LLM systems; treating quality as measurable, not anecdotalAdvanced written and spoken English; can hold an architecture conversation with a CIO and a CISO in the same meetingKnowledgeThe current enterprise context-layer landscape - Glean-class platforms, Cohere-class “AI OS” products, Microsoft Copilot / Agents, Gemini Enterprise, Palantir-style foundries - and where each genuinely differsGDPR and data-residency constraints for multi-jurisdiction European groups; what makes a private deployment defensibleFinancial services / private-equity context - investment policy, portfolio reporting, board process - a strong plusOKR / goal-management mechanics, enough to architect for themExperience7+ years hands-on AI/ML engineering, of which 2+ years building LLM / agentic systems in production3+ years as technical lead or architect on client-facing deliveryDemonstrated ontology / knowledge-graph or semantic-layer work over messy real-world enterprise dataExperience with regulated or security-sensitive clients (BFSI, government, healthcare) and private deploymentExperience in consulting or a services business - comfortable being the technical face to a C-level clientComfortable as the most senior technical person on a 2.5-FTE pod, with founders as sparring partners rather than a safety net#J-*****-Ljbffr
