This is a highly senior, hands-on architecture role. You will translate business transformation vision into a coherent AI/ML technical strategy, design the end-to-end architecture that makes that strategy real, and guide engineering teams through detailed design and implementation. You will be the primary architectural voice for GenAI, machine learning, automation, and agentic systems across finance technology. What You'll Do: * Define the AI/ML technical strategy underpinning finance business transformation. * Partner with business leaders and senior stakeholders to turn financial and operational goals into AI/ML and automation initiatives. * Establish an "AI-first" architectural philosophy across finance technology. * Act as a trusted advisor to executives on AI/ML capability, feasibility, risk, and value. * Create high-level automation and AI/ML architecture designs and multi-year roadmaps. * Architect reusable AI/ML foundational frameworks and platforms across finance use cases (fraud detection, forecasting, reconciliation, reporting, analytics, intelligent document/content/audio processing). * Design high-performing semantic layers using RAG, Knowledge Graphs, and GraphRAG. * Define reference architectures for agentic AI workflows (multi-agent orchestration, tool use, memory, human-in-the-loop). * Set architecture and design standards for AI/ML solution delivery. * Produce detailed designs covering data flows, integration patterns, model serving, event-driven pipelines, and security/governance controls. * Guide and mentor engineers through design decisions, reviews, and build-out. * Own architectural quality, scalability, and performance for high-volume financial data processing. * Drive MLOps/LLMOps practices and represent AI/ML architecture in design-authority forums. ## Related Videos - [Reference Architecture of AI in the Cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1613-reference-architecture-of-ai-in-the-cloud) - [The Cloud is Calling: Answer with In-Demand Skills](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/945-the-cloud-is-calling-answer-with-in-demand-skills) - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Pioneering AI Assistants in Banking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1627-pioneering-ai-assistants-in-banking) - [Cloud Run- the rise of serverless and containerization](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/106-cloud-run-the-rise-of-serverless-and-containerization) - [Instant KAI Sandboxes with vCluster: Multi-Tenant, Multi-Scheduler GPU Sharing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100333-instant-kai-sandboxes-with-vcluster-multi-tenant-multi-scheduler-gpu-sharing) ## Related Articles - [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) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [Got AI ideas but no money?
