Principal AI Architect

The role

Translate business workflows, data sensitivity, governance expectations, and infrastructure constraints into secure, scalable architectures spanning data, models, orchestration, integrations, deployment, observability, and human oversight.

What you will do

  • Lead technical discovery with enterprise executives, architects, engineering leaders, and business stakeholders.
  • Define end-to-end private AI architectures across identity, policy, data, tools, models, orchestration, validation, workflow, and learning.
  • Shape provider-neutral model strategies spanning deterministic rules, SLMs, private RAG, specialist models, and larger LLMs.
  • Design secure enterprise integrations, governance controls, model routing, and on-premises, private-cloud, hybrid, or disconnected deployments.
  • Guide AI and Data Engineers through design, build, testing, production readiness, and technical risk management.
  • Create reusable reference architectures, accelerators, templates, and technical playbooks.

What you bring

  • 10–15 years in technology, including 5+ years in AI, ML, data, cloud, platform, or enterprise architecture.
  • 2–3+ years designing production GenAI, LLM, SLM, RAG, or AI orchestration systems.
  • Strength in distributed systems, model routing, orchestration, secure RAG, evaluation, and human-in-the-loop patterns.
  • Practical knowledge of private deployment, GPU infrastructure, Kubernetes, model serving, IAM, encryption, isolation, and observability.
  • Experience leading enterprise design reviews and customer implementations; regulated-industry experience is strongly preferred.

You will thrive here if: you combine deep technical judgment with commercial awareness and can move comfortably between executive conversations and hands-on engineering decisions.

Senior Data Engineer

The role

Design and build the secure foundation that turns structured and unstructured enterprise information into trusted, permission-aware, traceable context for private AI orchestration and SLMs.

What you will do

  • Build secure ingestion from ERP, CRM, DMS, databases, APIs, spreadsheets, repositories, and legacy applications.
  • Create canonical models and pipelines for private RAG, enterprise search, AI workflows, evaluation, analytics, and fine-tuning.
  • Develop document processing for contracts, claims, policies, manuals, emails, PDFs, and other unstructured sources.
  • Implement metadata, lineage, versioning, source traceability, vector and keyword indexes, and permission-aware retrieval.
  • Establish automated data quality, reconciliation, schema validation, anomaly monitoring, isolation, encryption, and masking.
  • Document source systems, transformations, data contracts, dependencies, runbooks, and production operations.

What you bring

  • 5–8 years of hands-on data engineering, with 2+ years supporting AI, ML, search, analytics, or RAG.
  • Strong Python and advanced SQL plus production ETL/ELT and orchestration experience.
  • Hands-on experience with tools such as Airflow, Dagster, dbt, Spark, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, or Databricks.
  • Knowledge of vector databases, embeddings, search indexes, data modelling, lineage, observability, and secure integration patterns.
  • Production experience across cloud, private cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environments; regulated-data experience is preferred.

You will thrive here if: you know enterprise AI quality depends as much on data quality, permissions, metadata, lineage, and reliability as it does on model capability.
