What You'll Do As a AI Cloud Solutions Architect:

Evaluate and select appropriate AI approaches for client problems: supervised learning, LLMs, RAG, agentic systems, computer vision, NLP, and time-series forecasting.

• Technical Execution
Design and oversee the build of AI/ML infrastructure: model serving layers, vector stores, embedding pipelines, orchestration frameworks, and feedback loops.
Lead technical reviews of model performance, data quality, prompt engineering, fine-tuning approaches, and inference optimization.

• Influence and Leadership
Act as a trusted AI advisor to client executives and engineering teams — translating AI capabilities into business outcomes and setting realistic expectations.
Build alignment across data, cloud, and application teams to ensure AI systems are well-integrated and operationally sound.

• Execution and Delivery
Translate AI architecture decisions into clear implementation roadmaps, sprint plans, and measurable success criteria.
Ensure AI systems meet governance standards: model cards, bias assessments, data lineage, version control, and audit trails.
