Remote Tech AI Architect
Summary
Hands-on AI architect leading technical design for a multi-year programme moving an industrial R&D organization to AI-assisted, agentic development. Focuses on production LLM systems (retrieval, evaluation, guardrails), agent runtimes, and modern CI/CD; remote from Poland with workshop travel to Sweden.
This is one of the few places where agentic engineering is being applied to real industrial software rather than to demonstrations. Very little of it has an existing template, so a good part of the job is working out what the right answer looks like and then showing that it holds. The client is serious about it, their engineers are experienced and sceptical in the way good engineers usually are, and the programme has the time and the funding to do the work properly rather than quickly. If you have been waiting for a chance to take this technology further than a pilot, this is that chance.
You lead the technical design of what the team builds, working closely with the client's own engineers. The programme also has a part-time Principal Architect who looks after the programme-level architecture and governance, so the wider architectural decisions are taken together rather than alone.
Code generation is only one part of this work and the client has already made a start on it. The more interesting problems are giving an organisation an engineering memory it can trust, showing that AI-generated output behaves correctly against a system already running in production and deciding what an agent may read before anything is ingested.

Engagement
Consultant role through Holisticon Insight. Full-time. Mainly remote, with travel to Sweden during workshop weeks.
- An architect who enjoys staying hands-on.
- Experience with LLM-based systems in production: retrieval, evaluation, guardrails, human review.
- Familiarity with agent runtimes and tool protocols at implementation level.
- Modern SDLC and CI/CD, plus a view on how agent automation changes them.
- Fluent English. At ease running technical sessions with experienced engineers.
- Comfortable working while the scope is still being defined.
Nobody will have all of these.
- C, embedded or safety-critical development, where a fix after release is expensive.
- Testing of long-lived systems: differential testing, simulation, regression suites, test evidence.
- Knowledge graphs, semantic search or making messy document collections searchable.
- Self-hosted and local model deployment.
- Databricks, including governance and access control over data.
- EU AI Act and Cyber Resilience Act, both of which have dates inside the programme.
- Industrial, manufacturing or other engineering-heavy R&D.
