As an AI Architect at Lead Consultant level, you will lead AI projects from conception through deployment for clients across industries, translating business challenges into working AI solutions. You will design and build the major components of those solutions, and act as the technical lead for the workstreams you own within a client engagement.

The role spans the AI lifecycle — from discovery and solution design through proof of concept, production implementation, and operational improvement. The scope includes machine learning, predictive analytics, natural language processing, computer vision, intelligent automation, and Generative AI.

This is a hands-on architecture role. Expect roughly 70% of your time hands-on — building reference implementations, prototypes, production services, and integration work — and roughly 30% on design, technical leadership, and mentoring. Engagement models vary, and some client contexts require sustained hands-on delivery alongside the engineering team.

• Design and build AI solution patterns across ML and GenAI — LLM applications, retrieval-augmented generation, agents, orchestration, embeddings, vect
