AI Architect- Associate Director

Summary

Architect and lead production-grade AI systems using Generative AI, RAG, Agentic AI, Python, and cloud-native MLOps on Azure/AWS/GCP.

Job Title: Associate Director

Role: Senior AI Architect

Experience: 13 - 16 Years


About the Role

We are seeking a Senior AI Architect with deep expertise in Generative AI (GenAI), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Agentic AI systems, Python, API development, System Design, MLOps, and production-grade AI/ML solution architecture. This role involves architecting and leading AI solutions, driving innovation, and mentoring junior engineers. You will work closely with business and technical stakeholders to deliver scalable, production-grade AI systems.


Key Responsibilities

  • Experience architecting end-to-end AI/ML solutions including model selection, inference design, data pipelines, evaluation strategy, monitoring, governance, and lifecycle management.

  • Design and optimize RAG pipelines leveraging advanced retrieval strategies and vector databases.
  • Build and integrate Agentic AI frameworks for autonomous workflows and decision-making at scale.
  • Define architecture patterns for reusable AI components, services, APIs, and platforms.

  • Design and develop REST APIs for AI/ML model serving and application integration.

  • Build scalable API services using frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, or similar.

  • Design architectures that address: Scalability, Availability, Latency, Reliability, Fault tolerance, Security, Cost optimization, Maintainability, Observability.

  • Define MLOps/LLMOps processes for model versioning, prompt versioning, evaluation pipelines, model registry, and production monitoring.

  • Working knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, model deployment, model versioning, monitoring, logging, rollback strategy, and production support.

  • Experience designing and deploying cloud-native AI solutions on Azure, AWS, or GCP. Azure experience with Azure OpenAI, Azure ML, Azure AI Search, AKS, Blob Storage, Key Vault, and Application Insights is preferred.

  • Define best practices for model performance, scalability, and reliability in production environments.
  • Collaborate with leadership to shape AI strategy, roadmap, and technical standards.
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers on AI/ML development and deployment.
  • Ensure compliance with ethical AI principles and security standards.


Required Skills

  • Programming & Software Engineering: Expert-level proficiency in Python, with strong software engineering fundamentals including modular design, testing, logging, exception handling, performance optimization, and production-grade development.

  • Generative AI: Proven experience with Agentic AI solutions, RAG, fine-tuning, and deployment in production.
  • Agentic AI: Hands-on experience with agentic AI frameworks such as LangChain, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, or similar, with understanding of production-grade agent orchestration.
  • API Development & System Design: Strong experience in REST API development, microservices, scalable architecture, AI/ML model-serving APIs, and enterprise system design.

  • Cloud & MLOps: Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP, along with MLOps/LLMOps practices including CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, model deployment, monitoring, versioning, and rollback.

  • Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills.


Preferred Skills

  • Exposure to advanced agent orchestration, tool calling, workflow automation, multi-agent patterns, and guardrails for safe execution.
  • Familiarity with data engineering concepts such as ETL/ELT, SQL/NoSQL, Spark, Databricks, metadata management, and unstructured data pipelines.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, or related field.
  • 13 - 16 years of experience in AI/ML development, with at least 5 years in Generative AI and advanced AI systems.
