Position Summary:
This job is responsible for defining an architectural vision and solution aligned to the enterprise architecture strategy, technology, and platform choices. Key responsibilities include describing the solution intent/associated operating environment, evaluating system impacts, determining the primary systems/sub-systems and their interfaces, and assisting with end-to-end solution design. Job expectations include defining non-functional requirements/architectural runway to support new epics/features and ensuring solutions are fit for purpose by working with stakeholders and service providers. The candidate will lead the design and delivery of scalable, enterprise-grade solutions that leverage big data frameworks, cloud-native services, and advanced AI/GenAI capabilities. He/She will architect and engineer robust data pipelines using technologies such as Spark and Hadoop, integrate ETL tools, and utilize AWS/Azure services to support high-performance data processing and analytics. The candidate will design and implement AI and GenAI solutions with hands-on experience in integrating Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, and optimizing model performance. His/Her work will align with strategic business goals and enterprise architecture standards through the development of Architecture Points of View (PoVs) and execution of Proofs of Concept (PoCs) to validate key decisions. He/She will deliver interactive demos to cross-functional teams, explore alternative architecture patterns to meet scalability and integration needs, and conduct comparative analyses to guide decision-making across cloud-native, AI/GenAI, and data platform components. The candidate will also design and engineer semantic layers and data products using graph technologies and metadata-driven architectures, and lead platform engineering efforts to enable reusable, secure, and performant capabilities. Collaboration with cross-functional teams will be essential to ensure end-to-end solution delivery that is aligned with enterprise standards and drives innovation across the organization.
