Responsibilities
In this role you will play a key role in:
- Defining target architectures for LLM, RAG, Agentic AI, Computer Vision and multimodal capabilities, including agent design, memory, function calling, human-in-the-loop controls and multi-agent patterns
- Architecting and implementing AI and business-process orchestration solutions using platforms such as Langflow and Flowable, translating complex business processes into executable workflows that integrate people, AI agents, APIs and enterprise systems using BPMN 2.0
- Establishing and governing the AI evaluation strategy, including Golden Dataset methodology, task-specific metrics, benchmarking, regression evaluation and maintaining clear separation between training and evaluation data
- Defining production observability frameworks covering drift detection, quality degradation monitoring, feedback loops and continuous re-evaluation of approved AI solutions
- Designing local and sovereign model architectures using Ollama, vLLM and the Hugging Face ecosystem, evaluating quality, security, sovereignty, cost and operational trade-offs between local and managed models
- Defining RAG pipelines including ingestion, chunking, embedding, vector search, hybrid retrieval and reranking, as well as Computer Vision pipelines for classification, detection, segmentation and anomaly detection
- Governing the full MLOps and LLMOps lifecycle — from development and evaluation through to deployment, observation and continuous improvement — while embedding security, Responsible AI principles and architectural governance throughout
- Acting as the AI architecture authority within the solution, aligning with the Lead Solution Architect, guiding AI/ML and Computer Vision engineers, and communicating clearly with non-technical stakeholders
Requirements
- Proven experience as an AI Architect or senior technical architect with 8–12 years of hands-on experience across GenAI, LLM, RAG and Agentic AI, with practical application of IAF, TOGAF or an equivalent recognised architecture framework
- Strong command of AI engineering fundamentals including Python, REST APIs, vector databases, GPU/inference concepts, containerisation and cloud AI platforms, with experience governing MLOps and LLMOps pipelines end-to-end
- Demonstrated ability to define and operationalise AI evaluation strategies, including Golden Dataset design, model benchmarking, drift detection and observability — balancing AI autonomy with deterministic controls and human accountability
- Experience architecting AI and business-process orchestration solutions using tools such as Langflow, LangChain, LangGraph or Flowable, with solid understanding of BPMN 2.0 and the ability to translate business processes into governed, scalable AI-integrated workflows
- Strong stakeholder communication skills with the ability to challenge model and platform choices using evidence-based evaluation, and to influence both technical teams and senior business leaders
- Experience in security and Responsible AI by design, including secure model endpoints, guardrails, controlled tool access and appropriate explainability practices
