Key Responsibilities

· Own end-to-end solution architecture (HLD/LLD) for multiple AI/data products: workflows, data flows, service boundaries, integrations, and NFRs.

· Define and communicate reference architectures for product capabilities spanning data ingestion/serving, ML/GenAI components, APIs, and orchestration.

· Drive key technology and design decisions (stack selection, build vs buy, batch vs real-time, integration patterns), documenting rationale and tradeoffs.

· Design integration architecture with enterprise systems and data sources: API strategy, eventing patterns, identity/SSO, authorization, logging, and audit trails.

· Partner with Data Architects/Data Engineers to define data contracts, access patterns, data quality expectations, and governance requirements.

· Partner with MLOps/AI Engineering to define productionization requirements for ML/GenAI (deployment, monitoring, evaluation, safety/guardrails).

· Partner with DevOps/Cloud teams to define deployment architecture (environments, scalability, resiliency, observability, cost controls).

· Collaborate with Security/Compliance to ensure privacy-by-design, secure architecture, and auditability

· Lead technical design reviews and ensure architectural coherence across teams and vendors.

Key Skill:

1) Solution Architecture & System Design (Core)

Strong experience designing distributed, scalable systems and data-heavy applications.
Ability to produce clear HLD/LLD: service decomposition, data flows, sequence diagrams, API specs, NFRs.
Strong integration design capability (REST/event-driven patterns, error handling, idempotency, versioning).

2) Cross-Functional Technical Leadership

Proven ability to lead architecture across multiple specialist teams (data, cloud, DevOps, MLOps, security) without owning all execution.
Strong stakeholder management: can translate business outcomes into technical approaches and align diverse teams.

3) Data & Analytics Architecture Literacy

Solid understanding of modern data architectures (warehouse/lake/lakehouse concepts), data modeling basics, and analytics access patterns.
Ability to define requirements for data quality, lineage, governance, and access controls in partnership with data specialists.

4) ML Production & GenAI System Design Literacy

Strong understanding of what it takes to run ML systems in production: evaluation, deployment patterns, monitoring/drift concepts, retraining triggers.
For GenAI use cases: working knowledge of RAG architectures, prompt/versioning concepts, guardrails/safety patterns, and evaluation approaches.

5) Cloud-Native & Operational Readiness Literacy

Strong understanding of cloud architecture concepts: networking basics, IAM, encryption, secrets, scaling, resiliency.
Ability to specify requirements for CI/CD, observability (logs/metrics/traces), SLOs, and cost/performance constraints (execution owned by platform teams).

6) Decision-Making & Documentation

Experience making and documenting architectural tradeoffs (build vs buy, latency vs cost, centralized vs decentralized).
Strong documentation discipline: design notes, architecture review artifacts, and decision records.

· Hands-on experience implementing MLOps/LLMOps/DevOps toolchains (e.g., MLflow, feature stores, Kubernetes, Terraform, CI pipelines).

· Experience with data platforms/tools (Databricks/Spark, Snowflake/BigQuery, Kafka), vector databases, or LLM orchestration frameworks.
