We are seeking an Software Architect – AI Solutions to join our team in Houston. This role is designed for a senior technical professional who can both define architecture and actively contribute to hands‑on implementation. This is not a purely advisory, high‑level architecture, or documentation‑only role. The selected candidate will be expected to write code, build prototypes, review pull requests, contribute to production systems, and guide engineering teams through delivery.

The ideal candidate has strong experience designing and building AI‑enabled enterprise applications using Python, Generative AI, Retrieval‑Augmented Generation, or RAG, Azure cloud infrastructure, C#, .NET, React.js, Node.js, MongoDB or another No

SQL database, and Git Hub Actions.

• Design and build scalable AI‑enabled applications across backend, frontend, cloud, data, and AI layers.
• Architect and implement Generative AI solutions, including RAG‑based workflows.
• Write production‑quality code using Python, C#, .NET, React.js, and Node.js.
• Build prototypes, proof of concepts, APIs, backend services, frontend components, and AI integrations.
• Review code, provide technical guidance, and help engineering teams solve complex implementation challenges.
• Design cloud‑based architectures, preferably on Microsoft Azure, including application services, data flows, integrations, and deployment patterns.
• Work with MongoDB or other No
  
  SQL databases to design scalable data models and retrieval patterns.
• Support CI/CD strategy, deployment automation, and engineering workflows using Git Hub Actions.
• Partner with product, engineering, business, and leadership stakeholders to translate business needs into working software.
• Establish best practices for scalability, performance, security, reliability, maintainability, observability, and responsible AI usage.

• Strong hands‑on software engineering experience, including recent coding experience.
• Experience designing and building production applications using Python.
• Practical experience with Generative AI and Retrieval‑Augmented Generation, or RAG.
• Strong technical background with C#, .NET, React.js, and Node.js.
• Experience with cloud infrastructure, preferably Microsoft Azure.
• Experience with MongoDB or another No
  
  SQL database.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation using Git Hub Actions.
• Ability and willingness to contribute directly to code, architecture, technical design, and implementation.
• Ability to work onsite Tuesday through Thursday in the Spring, TX area.
• Must be based in or near Houston, TX.
• Strong communication skills with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
