- Experience with GenAI and LLM ecosystems (OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, open‑source models).
- Expertise in MLOps tools and practices (CI/CD, model registries, monitoring).
- Experience with data platforms (Data Lakes, Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks).
- Knowledge of API‑based AI integration, MCP, microservices, and event‑driven architectures.
Cloud & DevOps
- Strong experience with at least one major cloud platform: Azure, AWS, or GCP.
- Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Understanding of infrastructure‑as‑code and DevSecOps practices.
Experience
- 8–12+ years of overall IT experience, with 3–5+ years in AI/ML solution or platform architecture roles.
- Proven experience delivering AI solutions into production at scale.
AI Strategy & Architecture
- Define enterprise AI/ML and GenAI architecture roadmaps aligned with business objectives.
- Design scalable, reusable, and secure AI solution architectures (traditional ML, deep learning, LLM‑based systems).
- Evaluate and select AI platforms, frameworks, and cloud services.
Solution Design & Delivery
- Architect end‑to‑end AI solutions encompassing data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, inference, monitoring, and feedback loops.
- Lead architecture for use cases such as predictive analytics, NLP, computer vision, recommendation systems, and AI agents.
- Design architectures leveraging LLMs, vector databases, RAG frameworks, fine‑tuning, and prompt engineering.
Governance, Security & Compliance
- Define AI governance standards including model lifecycle management, data privacy, bias mitigation, explainability, and responsible AI.
- Ensure compliance with enterprise security, regulatory, and ethical AI standards.
- Establish best practices for model versioning, monitoring, and drift management.
Stakeholder & Technical Leadership
- Act as a trusted advisor to business leaders, product owners, and delivery teams on AI feasibility and value realization.
- Translate business problems into AI solution designs and technical blueprints.
- Mentor data scientists, ML engineers, and architects; review solution designs and implementations.
- Experience designing AI solutions in regulated industries (Insurance or BFSI)
- Knowledge of Responsible AI, explainable AI (XAI).
- Experience with AI agent frameworks and autonomous workflows.
- Strong architectural thinking and problem‑solving skills
- Ability to balance innovation with enterprise governance
- Excellent stakeholder communication and technical storytelling
