We're looking for an AI/Data Architect who can turn ambitious ideas into working solutions - quickly, responsibly, and at scale. This is not a role where you'll spend your days writing strategy decks about what AI could do. You'll work directly with business leaders, engineers, and field teams to identify real problems, build prototypes, prove value, and turn successful solutions into production-ready tools. What You'll Do: As our AI/Data Architect, you'll be a senior technical leader helping shape the next generation of AI-enabled operations at QISG. You'll move between strategy and execution - one day working with an executive to identify an opportunity, the next pair-programming a prototype, and later architecting a scalable solution that becomes part of how the organization operates. You'll have the autonomy to experiment, the technical challenges to stay engaged, and the opportunity to see your work create measurable business impact. * Build agentic workflows that automate complex business processes * Extract knowledge from thousands of technical PDFs, spreadsheets, images, and other documents * Automate manual processes such as receipt capture and billable-rate validation * Reduce operational backlogs and eliminate repetitive work * Consolidate financial reporting across enterprise systems * Create intelligent document search and contract-analysis capabilities * Give teams faster access to the information they need to make decisions * Create AI-powered capabilities that simply weren't possible before ## Related Videos - [Architecting the Future: Leveraging AI, Cloud, and Data for Business Success](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1096-architecting-the-future-leveraging-ai-cloud-and-data-for-business-success) - [Do TypeScript without TypeScript](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/327-do-typescript-without-typescript) - [Launching a marketplace on-time: A lesson in taking shortcuts using spreadsheets!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/477-launching-a-marketplace-on-time-a-lesson-in-taking-shortcuts-using-spreadsheets) - [Data Governance in the Era of AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1622-data-governance-in-the-era-of-ai) - [AI beyond the code: Master your organisational AI implementation.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1248-ai-beyond-the-code-master-your-organisational-ai-implementation) - [Unlocking Value from Data: The Key to Smarter Business Decisions-](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1367-unlocking-value-from-data-the-key-to-smarter-business-decisions) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [What Industries Outside of AI Are Hiring The Most AI Experts?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/98-what-industries-outside-of-ai-are-hiring-the-most-ai-experts) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
