AI Solutions Architect

This is a remote position.

Position: AI Solutions Architect

Experience /Level: Senior Individual Contributor | Architecture Ownership, 5+ years

Role Overview:

We are looking for a hands-on AI Solutions Architect to design, build, deploy, and operate internal AI solutions on our cloud platform.

The role combines technical delivery (~50%) and business engagement (~50%). You will work directly with business leaders and operational teams to identify high-value AI opportunities, build production-ready solutions, and establish scalable architecture, governance, and cost controls.

This is a delivery-focused role, not a research role. Success means AI systems that are deployed, adopted, and delivering measurable business value.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and build AI agents, RAG solutions, automation workflows, and structured-data assistants.

• Own the AI architecture, from discovery through production and ongoing operations.

• Build retrieval systems including document ingestion, chunking, indexing, search, and retrieval evaluation.

• Integrate AI with ERP, document management, quality systems, Microsoft 365, and other enterprise platforms.

• Own AI cost management — estimate, monitor, optimise, and report usage and spend.

• Partner with IT on security, identity, access, networking, secrets, and data residency.

• Support Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Studio deployment, governance, and adoption.

• Run business discovery sessions and translate business problems into realistic, production-ready AI use cases.

• Present solutions to executives, subject matter experts, and operational users.

• Establish reusable architecture patterns, standards, and governance.

• Mentor and enable other technical staff as the AI capability grows.

Core Technical Skills:

Strong working depth expected in:

• Azure AI Foundry or equivalent cloud AI platform

• AI agents, tool/function calling and evaluation

• LLMs: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google

• Prompt engineering and AI failure handling

• RAG, vector/hybrid search, embedding and retrieval evaluation

• Azure AI Search or equivalent

Working knowledge of:

• Microsoft 365 Copilot & Copilot Studio

• Power Automate, Power Apps, SharePoint & Microsoft Graph

• Python & SQL

• REST APIs, serverless functions, webhooks and workflow orchestration

• OCR/document extraction, e.g. Azure Document Intelligence

• Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake or similar

• Cloud security fundamentals: RBAC, managed identity, secrets and network isolation

• AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot or Cursor

Business Skills

• Strong stakeholder management from C-suite to frontline operations.

• Able to turn vague AI interest into well-scoped business problems.

• Comfortable challenging unrealistic requirements and saying no where appropriate.

• Strong presentation, demonstration and communication skills.

• Able to build build-vs-buy cases using real business and cost data.

• Comfortable managing SME validation and accuracy reviews.

• Able to manage projects independently from discovery to production.

• Strong architecture and executive-level documentation skills.

Required Experience

• 5+ years in a technical business role such as solutions architecture, systems integration, business analysis or process automation.

• At least one AI/automation solution deployed to production and still in use.

• Strong experience in at least one major cloud platform.

• Demonstrated experience with prompt engineering and AI agents.

• Able to read, direct and debug code.

• Proven experience working directly with business stakeholders.
