About the Role
Serve as the hands-on consulting architect ensuring AI use cases across the bank are designed and connected the right way, aligned to the enterprise AI platform architecture, approved integration patterns, and governance standards. This role translates platform capabilities and standards into concrete, buildable solution architectures and reviews designs before they harden. It involves producing reference architectures, integration patterns, and working examples, while pairing with delivery teams to accelerate adoption and prevent rework and governance escapes.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the consulting architect for AI use-case teams across the bank, shaping solution designs, data flows, model access patterns, and integration approaches.
- Produce and maintain reference architectures, design patterns, and working examples for common use-case shapes (RAG applications, document processing, workflow automation, agent-based patterns).
- Review solution designs against platform standards and governance requirements before build; document findings and drive remediation with delivery teams.
- Advise on model selection, prompt/context architecture, retrieval design, and oversight/guardrail patterns appropriate to each use case's risk tier.
- Ensure all designs route model access through the governed enterprise gateway with correct entitlements, quotas, and logging; prevent parallel or ungoverned access paths.
- Translate governance standards into architecture requirements delivery teams can implement.
- Partner with platform engineering on the evolution of platform capabilities based on real use-case demand.
- Document network, identity, data-classification, and environment-separation considerations for solution designs.
- Partner with Cybersecurity architecture on AI threat modeling, prompt-injection risk, and adversarial-testing requirements.
- Pair with application teams that lack AI delivery experience, providing hands-on design and build guidance.
- Create and deliver architecture enablement materials, design guides, and pattern documentation.
- Support solution reviews in governance forums with clear, evidence-based architecture assessments.
- Transfer patterns, documentation, and working knowledge to bank FTEs throughout the engagement.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in solution architecture, application architecture, or senior engineering roles, including hands-on delivery of cloud-native applications.
- Hands-on experience architecting and delivering GenAI/LLM-based solutions — model integration, RAG pipelines, prompt/context engineering, and agent or workflow patterns.
- Strong Azure experience — Azure OpenAI/AI services, API Management, Entra ID, Key Vault, networking and landing-zone concepts, environment separation.
- Demonstrated experience producing reference architectures, integration patterns, and design documentation adopted by multiple teams.
- Experience designing within security, risk, and compliance constraints in a regulated environment.
- Strong consulting skills — stakeholder communication, design facilitation, and the ability to influence without authority.
