You'll join the AI Architecture & Engineering team as one of its three founding members, shaping how a global enterprise adopts AI from the ground up. The role You'll own solution architecture AI portfolio, turning an established capability-based architecture into designs that ship. Every AI build, integration, and vendor proof-of-concept passes through your designs. This is a hands-on seat: you'll write code to test your own designs and stay close to what ships. What you'll do * Own solution design for AI builds and vendor proofs-of-concept: integration topology, identity and authorization flows (including SAP identity passthrough via Microsoft Entra ID), data flows, and security review * Prototype and validate your designs in code - reference implementations and spikes - and partner with engineering through build * Own the capability occupancy map: assess proposed tools and builds against capability slots to inform investment decisions * Architect the Azure AI foundation and the governed MCP gateway: landing zone, network and identity patterns, private connectivity, and a multi-tier model portfolio with attention to data retention and residency * Lead the technical side of vendor and model evaluations: fit assessments and recommendations * Build a reusable solution-pattern library so each successive use case is cheaper to design than the last ## 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) - [Delegating the chores of authenticating users to Keycloak](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1558-delegating-the-chores-of-authenticating-users-to-keycloak) - [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) - [Delay the AI Overlords: How OAuth and OpenFGA Can Keep Your AI Agents from Going Rogue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1637-delay-the-ai-overlords-how-oauth-and-openfga-can-keep-your-ai-agents-from-going-rogue) - [AI in Action: Real Use Cases with Real Impact - Hanna Hennig, Michael Ameling, Tobias Regenfuss](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1371-ai-in-action-real-use-cases-with-real-impact-hanna-hennig-michael-ameling-tobias-regenfuss) - [Advanced Cypress: custom assertions and tasks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/790-advanced-cypress-custom-assertions-and-tasks) ## Related Articles - [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) - [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) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development)
