What will your typical day look like?
The AI Solutions Architect – Generative AI is responsible for designing, building, and guiding delivery of enterprise-grade GenAI solutions that solve real business problems at scale.
This role combines hands-on solution architecture, platform thinking, and technical leadership. You will define patterns across LLMs, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), multi-agent systems, and orchestration frameworks while ensuring solutions are secure, scalable, cost-aware, and production-ready.
Key Responsibilities:
Generative AI Architecture
• Design and deliver end-to-end GenAI solutions from concept through production.
• Define architectures leveraging LLMs, RAG, agents, and orchestration frameworks.
• Architect multi-model strategies across GPT, Anthropic, Gemini, and related
model ecosystems.
• Design multi-agent patterns, tool integration frameworks, and orchestration approaches.
• Translate business needs into scalable, reusable architecture patterns.
Platform & Cloud Enablement
• Architect solutions primarily on Microsoft Azure, including:
o Azure OpenAI
o Azure AI Search / vector databases
o Azure Functions, Container Apps, Kubernetes
• Design and implement solutions using Microsoft Copilot Studio and extensibility patterns.
• Leverage Google AgentSpace and related agent platforms where appropriate.
• Define integration patterns with enterprise systems and APIs.
• Ensure solutions follow cloud-native, resilient, observable, and cost-aware design principles.
Engineering & Production Readiness
• Apply strong software engineering fundamentals:
o API design and integration
o CI/CD and DevOps practices
o Testing, monitoring, evaluation frameworks
• Establish patterns for prompt management, model evaluation, and versioning.
• Implement cost optimization strategies (token management, routing, caching).
• Partner with engineering teams to ensure production-grade implementations.
AI Governance & Responsible Use
• Embed security, privacy, compliance, and responsible AI guardrails into architecture.
• Define patterns for human-in-the-loop workflows and risk mitigation.
• Collaborate with security, legal, and risk stakeholders to align with enterprise standards.
Leadership & Enablement
• Act as a trusted technical advisor to delivery teams and stakeholders.
• Present architecture options and trade-offs clearly to technical and executive audiences.
• Mentor engineers and architects in GenAI patterns and best practices.
• Contribute to reusable accelerators, reference architectures, and platform standards.
About the team
The Enterprise Architecture team comprises of enterprise, solution, data and AI architects that define and scales solutions and strategies across the organization. We operate at the intersection of architecture, engineering, and business transformation — designing reusable patterns, production-ready platforms, and enterprise guardrails that enable responsible AI adoption at scale.
Our focus is not isolated proofs of concept. We build foundational capabilities that integrate into core platforms and products, accelerate delivery teams, and shape the organization’s operating model.
This role reports into Enterprise Architecture and partners closely with engineering, data, security, and business stakeholders across multiple portfolios.

• Hands-on experience building or architecting Generative AI solutions using LLMs.
• Strong expertise in Azure cloud architecture and services.
• Practical experience with:
o RAG architectures and vector search
o Multi-model ecosystems (e.g., GPT, Anthropic, Gemini)
o Agent-based architectures and orchestration frameworks
• Experience designing secure, scalable, and cost-aware cloud solutions.
• Experience with Microsoft Copilot Studio and Copilot extensibility patterns.
• Experience with token cost modeling and AI performance optimization.
• Knowledge of model evaluation frameworks, benchmarking, and drift monitoring.
• Strong grounding in API design, DevOps practices, and modern engineering patterns.
• Ability to translate business requirements into clear technical designs.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Nice to Have
• Experience with Google AgentSpace or other enterprise
agent platforms.
