Solutions Architect (AI Native SDLC)

Join our AI-Centric Delivery practice as a Solutions Architect. You will design and deliver enterprise solution architectures where AI serves as a foundational engineering capability. Combine your architectural expertise with hands-on application to build AI-augmented software development lifecycle (SDLC) workflows, agentic systems and LLM-powered delivery tooling.

This execution-oriented role empowers you to define technical direction, validate architectures through personal prototyping and work alongside engineering teams during implementation to drive real impact.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and validate AI-SDLC developer agents and multi-agent orchestration workflows focusing on automation and engineering throughput
• Advise senior client stakeholders by translating business requirements into AI-augmented solution architectures
• Communicate design trade-offs across latency, cost, observability and risk
• Architect and integrate AI-enabled workflows across the engineering stack, including version control, CI/CD pipelines, code review, testing and documentation
• Deliver functional prototypes within tight delivery windows to demonstrate the value of AI-native engineering approaches
• Lead the end-to-end design of enterprise solution architectures incorporating agentic systems, LLM-powered workflows and RAG pipelines
• Collaborate with engineering leads, product owners and enterprise architecture teams to align solution designs with security, governance and integration requirements

Do you have experience in Systems integration?, * Proven track record as a senior software engineer or solutions architect with successful delivery across complex enterprise-scale engagements

• Hands-on expertise with large language models and generative AI (such as Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT or Google Gemini)
• Demonstrated capability in prompt engineering, model selection, context management and cost and latency optimization in production environments
• Background in designing and implementing agentic workflows involving tool use, memory systems, multi-step reasoning and human-in-the-loop patterns
• Solid foundation in enterprise architecture fundamentals, including cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP), microservices, API design, data architecture and integration patterns
• Clear communication practices for navigating strategic design and hands-on implementation to validate architectural decisions through working prototypes

Nice to have

• Familiarity with multi-agent orchestration frameworks like CrewAI, AutoGen or LangGraph
• Knowledge of LLM evaluation, guardrails and observability tooling like LangSmith or Arize
• Practical understanding of AI development frameworks, including LangChain, LlamaIndex or Hugging Face
• Exposure to vector database technologies like FAISS, Pinecone, Qdrant, Chroma or Weaviate
• Experience deploying AI-assisted code generation tooling at an organizational scale
• Background in enterprise integration platforms, event-driven architecture or data mesh
