About the role
The Solution Architect provides technical leadership and designs complex solution architectures that support business strategy and streamline technology-enabled workflows. This role partners closely with business owners, product, data, and engineering teams to document current-state systems and design scalable, resilient, and secure cloud-based solutions. This position focuses on emerging technologies, including AI, Generative AI, and machine learning, and guides solutions from research and analysis through architecture, delivery support, and operational readiness.
What you will do:
•
Lead discovery with business and technology partners to understand objectives, constraints, current-state systems, and integration points.
•
Document current-state architecture and define target-state designs including system context diagrams, component designs, integration patterns, and data flows.
•
Design and modernize applications into cloud-compatible or cloud-native architectures using microservices, serverless, and event-driven patterns where appropriate.
•
Create strategies, roadmaps, and migration designs for transitioning applications and data workloads to cloud platforms.
•
Design AI and ML-enabled solutions, including model integration into products and business processes, and patterns for scalable inference and low-latency serving where needed.
•
Design Generative AI solution patterns, such as retrieval-augmented generation, tool and API integration, prompt and context management, and evaluation approaches.
•
Define reference architectures for AI platforms and enabling capabilities, such as data pipelines, feature and embedding generation, vector storage, model endpoints, and integration with enterprise APIs.
•
Define integration patterns for agent toolchains using standards and common approaches such as Model Context Protocol (MCP), skills and plugin manifest standards, function calling with JSON Schema tool definitions, OpenAPI-based tool specifications, and event-driven or message-based tool execution patterns. Ensure integrations address authentication and authorization, data minimization, auditability, and isolation boundaries.
•
Incorporate security-by-design practices into architectures, including identity and access controls, encryption, secrets management, secure networking, and audit logging.
•
Partner with governance and risk stakeholders to ensure responsible AI considerations are incorporated, including privacy, explainability, safety, compliance, and model risk controls as applicable.
•
Drive alignment and adoption of proposed solutions by clearly communicating tradeoffs, risks, and value and obtaining stakeholder alignment and governance approvals. Selling means internal alignment and decision support, not external pre-sales.
•
Support teams responsible for testing and validation and help triage and resolve design-related issues found during development, UAT, or production.
•
Perform other duties as assigned
