AI Solutions Architect

Job Description

As AI Solutions Architect you will be the technical expert responsible for designing scalable, secure, and high-performance blueprints that support turning AI concepts into production-grade enterprise assets. In this role you will bridge the gap between high-level business requirements and AI engineering execution, ensuring that AI-related initiatives are properly evaluated from a technical perspective, architected for value, modularity, scaling and long-term sustainability.

This position focuses on technical design, feasibility evaluation, and architectural integrity, serving as the primary technical authority within the AI & Data Center of Excellence, ensuring architectural integrity and enabling structured handover to IT delivery teams for implementation.

This is a senior individual contributor role with strong technical leadership and influence across teams.

Your responsibilities will include

Architectural Blueprinting & Design
Recommend the reference architectures for AI related solutions across the enterprise.

• Design end-to-end pipelines for Generative AI, Machine Learning, and Agentic workflows.
• Ensure that AI solutions are modular, reusable, and aligned with enterprise security and compliance standards.
• Recommend the optimal technical stack for specific business use cases.
• Partner with AI & Data Governance to ensure architectures align with risk, compliance, and lifecycle requirements.

Technical Feasibility & Scoping
Conduct evaluation of the technical feasibility of AI related initiatives.

• Conduct rapid prototyping, POCs, MVPs, to validate AI-specific technical assumptions.
• Support defining technical requirements, model dependencies, and integration points for AI related initiatives.
• Collaborate with Security, Data, and Infrastructure teams to validate architectural assumptions and verify technical fit within the enterprise environment.
• Provide high-level effort estimations and resource requirements for AI implementations.

Product Definition & Scalability
Support defining what AI models need to move beyond "lab" environments into robust, scalable production systems.

• Support defining requirements for scaling
• Recommend optimized architectures for latency, cost-efficiency (token management), and reliability.
• Assess cost impact of model choices, inference patterns, and orchestration designs to recommend sustainable options.
• Establish patterns for AI safety, bias mitigation, and "Human-in-the-loop" architectural components, ensuring architectural decisions follow the AI governance model, including risk reviews, lifecycle stages, and required documentation.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship
Act as the "North Star" for tech people involved in the implementation of AI related solutions.

• Provide technical oversight and architecture reviews for AI related projects.
• Monitor emerging AI patterns (RAG, Fine-tuning, Multi-agent systems).
• Collaborate with the AI & Data Transformation Lead to support Value Streams and Support Functions on advisory support for AI uses cases, maintaining and evolving a set of reusable AI architecture patterns and component templates to support enterprise scaling.

Technology Validation & Model Evaluation
Design and execute the technical assessment of AI models, and emerging technologies to ensure enterprise-grade performance.

• Apply structured LLM validation frameworks to assess model performance, accuracy, safety, and technical suitability.
• Review external AI products and services from a technical perspective to gauge architectural fit and integration readiness.
• Stay at the forefront of AI research to identify and integrate new technical capabilities (e.g., multimodal models, advanced embedding techniques, reasoning models).
• Ensure AI related solutions maintain technical flexibility and avoid architectural lock-in through modular design and standardized AI interfaces.
• Maintain concise architectural documentation that supports decision-making, governance, and auditability.

Success in this role means:
• AI solutions successfully deployed from concept to production
• Scalable, reusable architecture patterns adopted across the enterprise
• Optimized cost, performance, and reliability of AI systems
• Strong alignment between business needs, engineering delivery, and governance requirements

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Software Engineering, or a related quantitative field is required. Solid foundational knowledge in Machine Learning and Software Architecture is essential.
• Experience: 5+ years of significant experience in designing end-to-end technical architectures for Machine Learning and Generative AI solutions. Proven track record in conducting technical feasibility assessments, rapid prototyping (POCs/MVPs), and bridging business requirements with engineering execution. Experience with enterprise-scale systems, security standards, and AI governance is critical.
• Skills: Expertise in AI design patterns (such as RAG, Fine-tuning, and Agentic workflows) and model evaluation frameworks. Strong technical leadership and mentorship abilities, exceptional stakeholder management across cross-functional teams (Security, Data, Infrastructure), and the capability to optimize architectures for scalability, cost-efficiency, and reliability.
• Languages: Professional proficiency in English required; Italian and/or additional European languages are a plus.
