AI Solutions Architect
Summary
Senior hands-on AI Solutions Architect (remote, based in Mexico) who designs, builds, and operates internal AI solutions — AI agents, RAG pipelines, and Microsoft 365/Copilot integrations on Azure. The role splits roughly 50/50 between technical delivery and business engagement, from discovery through production, governance, and cost control.
This is a remote position.
Position: AI Solutions Architect
Experience /Level: Senior Individual Contributor | Architecture Ownership, 5+ years
Role Overview:
We are looking for a hands-on AI Solutions Architect to design, build, deploy, and operate internal AI solutions on our cloud platform.
The role combines technical delivery (~50%) and business engagement (~50%). You will work directly with business leaders and operational teams to identify high-value AI opportunities, build production-ready solutions, and establish scalable architecture, governance, and cost controls.
This is a delivery-focused role, not a research role. Success means AI systems that are deployed, adopted, and delivering measurable business value.
Requirements
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and build AI agents, RAG solutions, automation workflows, and structured-data assistants.
- Own the AI architecture, from discovery through production and ongoing operations.
- Build retrieval systems including document ingestion, chunking, indexing, search, and retrieval evaluation.
- Integrate AI with ERP, document management, quality systems, Microsoft 365, and other enterprise platforms.
- Own AI cost management — estimate, monitor, optimise, and report usage and spend.
- Partner with IT on security, identity, access, networking, secrets, and data residency.
- Support Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio deployment, governance, and adoption.
- Run business discovery sessions and translate business problems into realistic, production-ready AI use cases.
- Present solutions to executives, subject matter experts, and operational users.
- Establish reusable architecture patterns, standards, and governance.
- Mentor and enable other technical staff as the AI capability grows.

- Azure AI Foundry or equivalent cloud AI platform
- AI agents, tool/function calling and evaluation
- LLMs: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google

- REST APIs, serverless functions, webhooks and workflow orchestration
- OCR/document extraction, e.g. Azure Document Intelligence
- Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake or similar
- Cloud security fundamentals: RBAC, managed identity, secrets and network isolation
- AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot or Cursor
- Strong stakeholder management from C-suite to frontline operations.
- Able to turn vague AI interest into well-scoped business problems.
- Comfortable challenging unrealistic requirements and saying no where appropriate.
- Strong presentation, demonstration and communication skills.
- Able to build build-vs-buy cases using real business and cost data.
- Comfortable managing SME validation and accuracy reviews.
- Able to manage projects independently from discovery to production.
- Strong architecture and executive-level documentation skills.
- 5+ years in a technical business role such as solutions architecture, systems integration, business analysis or process automation.
- At least one AI/automation solution deployed to production and still in use.
- Strong experience in at least one major cloud platform.
- Demonstrated experience with prompt engineering and AI agents.
- Able to read, direct and debug code.
- Proven experience working directly with business stakeholders.
