Senior AI Architect

I'm working with a global consulting firm on a Senior AI Architect hire for their Data & AI practice. They help major organisations get real value out of AI, not pilots and proofs of concept, but production-grade platforms that actually stick - across a range of industrys.

The role

• Own the architecture for enterprise AI platforms end to end, from winning the work, through design, to getting it live and keeping it running well
• Be the technical voice clients trust: CTOs, CDAOs, engineering leads
• Lead delivery teams and mentor junior practitioners
• Shape proposals and help grow the practice commercially

What you'll be working with

• Cloud and data platform architecture (Azure/AWS/GCP, Databricks, Snowflake)
• LLM gateways, orchestration and agent/tool control layers
• RAG and agentic architectures
• Evaluation, guardrails and responsible AI
• Observability for AI systems in production

What they're after

• 8+ years in consulting, architecture or AI/ML engineering
• A few of those in a senior or lead-architect role, with real accountability for design, delivery and commercials
• Bid/proposal experience is a big plus

What's on offer

• Genuinely flexible, hybrid working
• Five weeks' annual leave (plus extra after five years)
