About the Role
The AI Architect will help shape and govern AXIS's AI landscape, translating business opportunities into practical technical designs. The role will work across architecture, engineering, data, security, risk and business teams to ensure AI capabilities are adopted consistently and safely.
Responsibilities
- Design secure, scalable and resilient enterprise-grade AI architectures across generative AI, machine learning, intelligent automation and agent-based use cases.
- Translate business needs into clear AI designs, explaining technical choices, benefits, limitations, risks and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Define and promote reusable AI architecture patterns, shared components, standards and guardrails covering model selection, orchestration, grounding, integration, observability and human oversight.
- Identify common requirements across AI initiatives and shape reusable components, services and reference implementations that can be adopted by multiple teams.
- Maintain architectural oversight across multiple AI projects, identifying duplication and guiding teams towards shared capabilities rather than creating project-specific solutions in isolation.
- Guide teams on responsible AI best practices, including fairness, explainability, transparency, privacy, security, safety, regulatory compliance and appropriate human control.
- Assess whether proposed AI use cases are suitable for AI, and recommend simpler approaches where these offer better value, control or maintainability.
- Architect AI solutions that integrate securely with enterprise data, applications, APIs and workflow platforms, working closely with Data, Integration, Cloud and Security Architecture.
- Support solution teams with approaches such as retrieval-augmented generation, semantic search, prompt and context management, model evaluation, MLOps and LLMOps.
- Ensure designs include appropriate testing, monitoring, cost management, performance, resilience, auditability and lifecycle controls.
- Contribute to AI governance and design assurance, including presenting proposals to architecture and risk review forums and tracking key decisions.
- Evaluate emerging AI technologies and vendors through structured assessments and proofs of concept, balancing innovation with operational and regulatory risk.
- Collaborate with engineers and delivery teams throughout implementation, helping resolve design issues while maintaining alignment to enterprise standards.
- Build trusted relationships across business and technology teams, facilitating workshops and helping stakeholders understand where AI can create measurable value.
- Maintain awareness of developments in AI technology, industry practice and regulation, and use this knowledge to evolve AXIS's architecture guidance.
- Take on additional duties, responsibilities and activities appropriate to the nature of this role.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of relevant experience in AI, machine learning, data science, software engineering, cloud architecture or solution architecture, including experience designing or delivering AI-enabled solutions.
- A strong technical background, with practical understanding of software engineering, cloud platforms, APIs, data integration, security and modern development practices.
- Experience building / designing solutions across a hybrid of Databricks and Azure platforms.
- Proven experience designing enterprise-grade AI architectures that meet requirements for security, scalability, resilience, performance, observability, integration, governance and cost control.
- Working knowledge of generative AI and machine learning concepts, including large language models, embeddings, vector search, retrieval-augmented generation, agents, model evaluation and prompt design.
- Experience designing solutions on a major cloud platform. Knowledge of Microsoft Azure and its AI ecosystem is particularly relevant to the AXIS technology landscape.
- Understanding of AI delivery and operational practices, including MLOps or LLMOps, versioning, testing, deployment, monitoring, observability and lifecycle management.
- Knowledge of responsible AI principles and the ability to apply privacy, security, fairness, explainability, transparency, safety and human-oversight considerations to solution designs.
- Ability to evaluate AI use cases critically, identifying expected value, data dependencies, constraints, operational impacts and circumstances where AI should not be used.
- Experience creating architecture artefacts such as solution designs, integration views, data flows, decision records, standards and reusable patterns.
- Previous experience working within an organisation with established AI architecture governance, including design assurance, standards, guardrails and architectural decision-making.
- Experience identifying common needs across separate projects and translating them into reusable components, shared services or enterprise patterns.
- Ability to maintain a portfolio-level view of AI initiatives, manage architectural dependencies and challenge unnecessary duplication across delivery teams.
- Good stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to engage business leaders, architects, engineers, risk specialists and delivery teams.
- The ability to facilitate workshops, draw out requirements, challenge assumptions constructively and build agreement across groups with different priorities.
- Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to explain complex AI concepts in straightforward language to non-technical audiences.
- A collaborative and pragmatic approach, with the ability to balance strategic direction, governance and delivery needs across multiple initiatives.
- Curiosity and sound judgement, with a commitment to continuous learning in a rapidly changing technology and regulatory environment.
- Experience in insurance, reinsurance or another regulated financial-services environment.
- Knowledge of Microsoft AI services and tools, such as Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Copilot Studio or Microsoft Fabric.
- Experience with Databricks, data platforms, semantic technologies, knowledge graphs or enterprise data governance.
- Familiarity with AI risk-management frameworks, model governance, threat modelling and emerging AI regulation.
- Experience supporting proofs of concept through to production adoption, including defining success measures and evaluating solution quality.
- Relevant cloud, architecture, data, security or AI certifications.
