AI Architect – GenAI & Cloud (f/m/x)

Sii is looking for an experienced AI Architect to bridge the gap between promising AI prototypes and production-ready systems. In this role, you will design robust solutions for generative and classical AI pipelines, lead client-facing technical engagements, and shape the future of AI projects within our organization.

Key responsibilities

• Lead client-facing engagements, including discovery sessions and technical workshops, to translate business needs into AI solution specifications.
• Analyze RFP/RFI documents, assess project feasibility, and build comprehensive technical proposals with cost and timeline breakdowns.
• Design end-to-end architectures for generative and classical AI systems, including agentic workflows and knowledge-grounded solutions.
• Define MLOps and LLMOps practices, including CI/CD for models, evaluation pipelines, and drift monitoring.
• Lead technical design reviews and mentor engineering teams on best practices for AI development.

Requirements

• At least 10 years of experience in software, data, or ML engineering, with 3+ years focused on AI/ML architecture at scale.
• Deep, production-level fluency in at least one major cloud AI ecosystem: Azure, AWS, or GCP.
• Proven experience in client-facing roles, with the ability to present technical concepts to both C-level and engineering audiences.
• Strong hands-on skills in Python and practical experience with frameworks like LangChain or LangGraph.
• Solid understanding of transformer architectures and their impact on system design, latency, and cost.

What we offer

• Access to our AI Grant, providing a dedicated budget and two paid weeks to develop your own innovative AI projects.
• Collaboration within our AI Center of Excellence alongside specialists in agentic, generative, and discriminative AI.
• Full access to modern AI-powered development tools such as Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot.
• Exposure to a wide variety of enterprise-scale projects, ranging from manufacturing automation to autonomous systems.
• Support for professional development, including conference attendance and opportunities to speak at industry events.
