Job Description AI Center of Excellence Lead AI Engineer & Solution Architect Role
Summary:
We are looking for a hybrid AI Engineer and Solution Architect to lead our AI Center of Excellence (CoE). This is a working lead role, not a purely managerial one — it requires someone who can design and build production LLM/RAG and agentic systems personally, while also setting the technical direction, standards, and delivery discipline for the team building them. The ideal candidate has a strong core software engineering foundation (full-stack / .NET or equivalent enterprise stack) and has since specialized into applied AI.
Key Responsibilities
● Lead the AI Center of Excellence: define the team’s technical standards, reusable patterns, and reference architecture for GenAI/Agentic AI delivery across engagements.
● Architect and build end-to-end GenAI and Agentic AI solutions — RAG pipelines, LLM orchestration, multi-agent workflows — from design through production deployment.
● Own solution architecture across the full stack: backend services, APIs/microservices, data layer, and cloud infrastructure, ensuring AI components integrate cleanly with existing enterprise systems.
● Select and justify the technical stack — LLM providers, vector databases, orchestration frameworks — based on the problem, not on default habit, and codify these choices as CoE guidelines.
● Produce architecture artifacts (HLD/LLD, sequence diagrams, integration specs) that the team builds against, and review their designs for architectural soundness.
● Build in evaluation, guardrails, and monitoring for AI systems — hallucination checks, retrieval quality metrics, human-in-the-loop escalation paths — as a standard the CoE enforces, not a one-off step.
● Support presales and solutioning — translating client requirements into a credible technical approach and effort estimate, and representing the CoE in client-facing technical discussions.
● Mentor and technically lead the team, growing its GenAI capability and setting the bar for what “production-ready” means.
Required Skills — AI / GenAI
● Hands-on experience with LLMs (OpenAI, Gemini, or equivalent) and prompt engineering for production use cases.
● RAG architecture — chunking, embeddings, hybrid retrieval, reranking — and the trade-offs between them.
● Agentic AI patterns: tool-calling, planner/executor designs, multi-agent orchestration (LangChain / LangGraph or equivalent).
● Vector databases (FAISS, Pinecone, pgvector, or equivalent) and semantic search implementation.
● Working ML/DL fundamentals — comfortable evaluating when a classical model or fine-tuning approach is the better answer than an LLM call.
● Python as the primary language for AI/ML work. Required Skills — Engineering & Architecture
● Strong core software engineering background, with proficiency in .NET/C# and/or Java (Spring/Spring Boot) at an architecture level, not just scripting.
● REST API and microservices design; comfortable defining service boundaries and contracts.
● Cloud platform experience (Azure, AWS, or GCP) — deployment, scaling, and security basics for production services.
● SQL and NoSQL database design; understands when each is the right fit.
● Containerization and CI/CD (Docker and a standard pipeline tool).
● Demonstrated solution architecture experience — has owned HLD/LLD for at least one non-trivial system, not just contributed to one.
Experience & Profile
● 12–17+ years overall in software engineering, with a clear architecture or technical-lead track record.
● At least 2–3 years of recent, hands-on GenAI/Agentic AI project experience — not certifications alone.
● Comfortable operating in a client-facing, presales-adjacent capacity when needed.
