Job Description & How to Apply Below

Own end-to-end solution architecture for AI-enabled automation engagements, moving delivery beyond traditional rule-based RPA into agentic, cloud-native automation. Act as the primary technical authority and client-facing lead across engagements, responsible for solution design, technical governance, and the transition of legacy automation practices toward AI-augmented delivery.

Roles and Responsibilities
  • Lead architecture design for solutions spanning AI/agentic workflows, process automation, and cloud integration — translating business process problems into target-state technical designs
  • Design LLM orchestration patterns, agent frameworks, and decision logic for automation use cases, as distinct from purely deterministic RPA flows
  • Define cloud-native architecture (Azure/AWS/GCP) for automation and AI workloads, including compute, storage, networking, and security considerations
  • Set and enforce technical standards, governance, and best practices across engagements and delivery teams
  • Own operational strategy for AI systems in production: define monitoring, observability, deployment governance, and model-risk standards that engineering teams implement
  • Act as primary technical point of contact with client stakeholders — running architecture reviews, solution walkthroughs, and technical governance boards
  • Mentor and provide technical direction to AI/Automation Engineers and Integration Architects on the account
  • Evaluate build-vs-buy and tooling decisions across RPA platforms, LLM providers, and agent frameworks
  • Assess existing RPA estates and define migration/uplift paths toward AI-enabled automation where relevant
  • Own technical risk assessment and escalation for architecture decisions with client and internal leadership
  • Support pre-sales/solutioning activity where technical architecture input is required
  • Review and sign off engineering designs before build to ensure alignment with architecture standards
Required Skills/Experience
  • Strong solution or enterprise architecture background, ideally with prior RPA/BPM experience now extended into AI/agentic systems
  • Hands-on understanding of LLM orchestration, agent frameworks (e.g., Lang Chain, agent SDKs), and prompt/context engineering at an architectural level
  • Deep cloud platform experience across Azure/AWS/GCP; architecture-level certification preferred
  • Demonstrated experience defining governance/standards for production AI systems, including monitoring, risk controls, and deployment gates
  • Strong client-facing and stakeholder management skills; comfortable leading technical governance conversations with senior client stakeholders
  • Prior technical leadership of engineering teams, including design review and mentoring
  • Experience evaluating and selecting automation/AI tooling and platforms
  • Track record of migrating or modernizing legacy automation estates
  • Strong communication skills — able to translate technical architecture into business-relevant language for non-technical stakeholders
