AI Architect

- Hybrid Onsite (2 days/ week) in Nashville TN


Seeking a visionary AI Architect to lead the design, governance, and implementation of next-generation Generative AI and Agentic Systems across the enterprise. This role is responsible for translating complex business problems into scalable, secure, and production-grade AI solutions, with a strong emphasis on autonomous agents, intelligent workflows, and AI-augmented SDLC ecosystems.

The ideal candidate brings a rare combination of enterprise-scale system architecture expertise, deep Generative AI knowledge, and hands-on engineering leadership, enabling them to operate seamlessly across strategy, design, and execution phases.

Years of Experience: 12+ Years

Key Responsibilities
1. Architecture & System Design
  • Own the end-to-end architecture of large-scale, distributed GenAI platforms, including microservices, data pipelines, and AI inference layers.
  • Define reference architectures and design patterns for Generative AI, agentic workflows, and AI-enabled enterprise platforms.
  • Ensure all systems are secure, scalable, fault-tolerant, cost-efficient, and production-ready.
2. Agentic Systems & Workflow Orchestration
  • Design and implement autonomous and semi-autonomous multi-agent systems using frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, or custom orchestration engines.
  • Enable agent collaboration, task planning, memory management, tool use, and self-reflection capabilities.
  • Architect agent-driven enterprise workflows (e.g., code generation, testing, incident triage, knowledge discovery, and business process automation).
3. Generative Model Engineering
  • Lead model selection, fine-tuning, and optimization of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs), including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, LLaMA, Mistral, and domain-specific models.
  • Apply Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) techniques such as LoRA, QLoRA, adapters, and distillation to optimize cost and performance.
  • Oversee Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures, vector search, prompt engineering, memory augmentation, and evaluation pipelines.
  • Drive experimentation with Diffusion models, GANs, and multimodal models where applicable.
4. LLMOps / MLOps & Cloud Infrastructure
  • Architect and standardize LLMOps/MLOps pipelines for training, evaluation, deployment, observability, and lifecycle management.
  • Design cloud-native AI platforms on AWS, Azure, or GCP, leveraging GPU/TPU infrastructure, Kubernetes, and serverless computing patterns.
  • Implement comprehensive monitoring for latency, hallucinations, model drift, cost usage, security events, and SLA compliance.
  • Optimize inference using techniques such as quantization, batching, caching, and intelligent model routing.
5. AI-Driven SDLC & Developer Experience
  • Architect AI-augmented Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) systems, including:
    • Agentic code generation and refactoring
    • Automated test generation and validation
    • Intelligent CI/CD workflows
    • AI-powered documentation and knowledge management
  • Partner with platform and Developer Experience (DevEx) teams to embed AI into developer tooling and workflows.
6. Governance, Security & Responsible AI
  • Define AI governance frameworks covering model risk, data privacy, lineage, explainability, bias detection, and regulatory compliance.
  • Ensure alignment with security, legal, and regulatory requirements (e.g., HIPAA, SOC2, GDPR, as applicable).
  • Establish robust guardrails for safe agent behavior, access control, prompt injection defense, and data leakage prevention.
7. Strategy, Leadership & Collaboration
  • Serve as a technical thought leader and advisor to executive stakeholders.
  • Lead and mentor senior engineers, data scientists, and AI researchers.
  • Manage multiple concurrent initiatives while balancing innovation with reliable delivery.
  • Drive buy-vs-build decisions, vendor evaluations, and strategic roadmap planning.
  • Evangelize AI best practices across engineering, product, and data teams.
Required Qualifications
Core Engineering & Architecture
  • 12+ years of experience in enterprise-grade full-stack or platform architecture.
  • Strong background in product engineering, distributed systems, and microservices.
  • Demonstrated ability to design mission-critical, high-availability systems.
AI / ML & Generative AI Expertise
  • Strong theoretical and hands-on expertise in:
    • Deep Learning (CNN, RNN, LSTM)
    • Transformer architectures and attention mechanisms
  • Deep experience with Generative AI, including:
    • Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and prompt engineering
    • GANs and Diffusion models
  • Proven experience integrating with OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Hugging Face, or equivalent platforms.
Technical Stack
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python; strong working knowledge of C++ and Java.
  • Extensive experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Keras.
  • Expertise in designing RESTful APIs, GraphQL, and event-driven architectures using Kafka or RabbitMQ.
  • Strong understanding of databases, vector stores, and streaming systems.
Cloud & DevOps
  • Proven track record of deploying and operating large-scale ML/AI workloads in production.
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (Terraform, Bicep, or CloudFormation).
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, observability stacks, and secure cloud networking.
Preferred Other Skills
  • Experience in Healthcare, Payer, or Life Sciences domains, including regulated data environments.
  • Exposure to edge AI, on-device inference, or real-time decision-making systems.
  • Contributions to open-source AI/ML projects or published technical thought leadership.
  • Experience building internal AI platforms or AI Centers of Excellence (CoE).
What Success Looks Like
  • Enterprise-scale Generative AI platforms run reliably and efficiently in production.
  • Autonomous agents delivering measurable productivity gains across the organization.
  • Secure, governable, and cost-efficient AI ecosystems.
  • Engineering teams are empowered by AI-native tooling and workflows.
  • Clear architectural vision consistently aligns with strategic business outcomes.
