Partnering directly with Allianz Operating Entities (OEs), the AI Engagement Manager, and local IT and vertical teams, you reuse and extend Minimum Viable Solutions (MVS) and AI Building Blocks - or design custom architectures where needed - to move from discovery to production-ready, enterprise-scale AI solutions at speed. What you do * Define and own the end-to-end architecture of AI solutions, ensuring scalability, security, interoperability, and future readiness. * Translate business objectives and OE problem statements into technical blueprints, reusable solution frameworks, AI reference architectures, and integration standards. * Design architecture patterns for multi-system integration, API orchestration, data harmonization, and AI-driven workflows. * Architect GenAI-enabled capabilities such as intelligent assistants, copilots, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agents, and automation pipelines. * Reuse and extend MVS/AI Building Blocks, designing custom services, integrations, and agents when reusable components do not fit. * Be integrated with local and global domain experts to understand problems and translate them into production-ready AI architectures. * Govern solution lifecycle management, versioning, and alignment with enterprise architecture principles, including AI governance and responsible AI standards. * Ensure security, compliance, and reliability of solutions; define CI/CD, containerization, and infrastructure-as-code approaches as needed. * Provide technical leadership during architecture reviews, PoCs, AI pilots, and enterprise-scale implementations, ensuring measurable business value. * Document, operationalize, and contribute new patterns back to the central building-block catalogue so one solution powers the next. * Evaluate emerging technologies - GenAI platforms, agentic frameworks, vector databases, and orchestration tools - and recommend architectural improvements for performance, scalability, and cost optimization ## Related Videos - [Reference Architecture of AI in the Cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1613-reference-architecture-of-ai-in-the-cloud) - [Getting to Know Your Legacy (System) with AI-Driven Software Archeology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1437-getting-to-know-your-legacy-system-with-ai-driven-software-archeology) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Agentic AI - From Theory to Practice: Developing Multi-Agent AI Systems on Azure](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1532-agentic-ai-from-theory-to-practice-developing-multi-agent-ai-systems-on-azure) - [Why your codebase lies to AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100281-why-your-codebase-lies-to-ai) - [DevOps Maturity Check – a way to balance autonomy and alignment](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/58-devops-maturity-check-a-way-to-balance-autonomy-and-alignment) ## Related Articles - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Graph and AI Trends 2026: Why Is AI Running but Not Yet Delivering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/680-graph-and-ai-trends-2026-why-is-ai-running-but-not-yet-delivering) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
