This role will be responsible for designing and delivering scalable, secure, AI-enabled solutions that help the organization move faster, eliminate manual work, and drive measurable business outcomes. This is a senior technical architecture role that is approximately 50% hands-on. The successful candidate will not only define solution architecture and technical direction but will also actively participate in building, prototyping, coding, integrating, and troubleshooting solutions. The Enterprise AI Solutions Architect will work closely with product managers, business stakeholders, internal development teams, and external development partners to translate business requirements into scalable technical architectures and production-ready solutions. The role will provide technical leadership to internal and offshore development teams while remaining directly involved in development and implementation. Strong architecture expertise, hands-on engineering capabilities, organizational skills, and the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders are essential. How You Will Contribute Solution Architecture & Technical Strategy Own the end-to-end architecture of enterprise AI and technology solutions across frontend applications, backend services, APIs, data platforms, AI services, integrations, and Azure cloud infrastructure. Translate business and product requirements into scalable, secure, maintainable solution architectures and define the technical roadmap required to move solutions from concept through production. Develop architecture diagrams, solution designs, integration patterns, data flows, technical specifications, and implementation approaches that provide clear direction to development teams. Hands-On Architecture & Development - Approximately 50% * Maintain significant hands-on involvement throughout the development lifecycle, spending approximately 50% of the role actively hands on - designing, building, prototyping, coding, integrating, leading developers and troubleshooting solutions. * Develop proofs of concept and production components, particularly for complex AI, integration, API, and cloud architecture challenges. * Work directly with developers on- and off-shore to solve difficult technical problems, review and improve code, validate architectural approaches, and ensure that architecture decisions translate effectively into working software. AI Solution Architecture * Architect and develop enterprise AI solutions using Azure, Generative AI, Agentic AI, LLMs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector databases, embeddings, orchestration frameworks, APIs, and related technologies. * Evaluate AI technologies, frameworks, platforms, and architectural approaches and determine the appropriate solution based on business requirements, scalability, security, performance, maintainability, and cost. * Design AI solutions that can move successfully from proof of concept into secure, reliable, enterprise-scale production environments. Key Functions: * Product & Business Partnership * Technical Leadership & Delivery * Engineering Standards & Governance * Stakeholder Communication * Problem Discovery & Innovation * Team Leadership ## Related Videos - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Inside the AI Revolution: How Microsoft is Empowering the World to Achieve More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/869-inside-the-ai-revolution-how-microsoft-is-empowering-the-world-to-achieve-more) - [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) - [Get started with securing your cloud-native Java microservices applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/123-get-started-with-securing-your-cloud-native-java-microservices-applications) - [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) - [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) ## 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) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [Transforming Software Development: The Role of AI and Developer Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/527-transforming-software-development-the-role-of-ai-and-developer-tools) - [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) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
