## Description

AI Solution Architect, Agentic & LLM Solutions Location: Hybrid - London, 3 days a week IR35 Status: Inside Summary: We're looking for a hands-on solution architect to design secure, scalable, and genuinely operable AI and agentic solutions, the kind that survive contact with production, not just a demo. You'll sit at the intersection of business requirements, product intent and detailed engineering design, and you'll be the one drawing the line between what should be deterministic software, what should be probabilistic AI, and what still needs a human in the loop. What you'll be doing: Designing end-to-end architectures for agent and workflow automation Selecting appropriate models, orchestration patterns, data sources and integration approaches Defining the boundaries between deterministic software, probabilistic AI and human decision-making Addressing identity, permissions, data protection, resilience, observability and cost from day one not bolted on later Designing evaluation
