This role blends deep technical expertise with strong business acumen—ideal for someone who can translate cutting‑edge AI capabilities into measurable business outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
Architect scalable, secure, and high‑performance AI/ML and GenAI platforms leveraging cloud‑native services and frameworks.
Design end‑to‑end AI reference architectures, covering data ingestion, model development, deployment, governance, and LLMOps.
Evaluate and integrate LLMs, vector databases, and RAG pipelines for enterprise use cases (e.g., chatbots, copilots, document analyzers, and cognitive automation).
Partner with sales, account, and delivery teams to lead AI opportunity qualification, scoping, and solutioning.
Conduct customer discovery workshops, PoC planning, and technical presentations to articulate AI value propositions.
Prepare solution proposals, cost estimates, effort models, and architecture diagrams tailored to client requirements.
Contribute to RFP/RFI responses, bid defense, and client demonstrations showcasing AI capabilities and differentiators.
Act as a trusted AI advisor to client executives, helping shape their AI strategy and roadmap.
Manage CXO‑level discussions, handle technical objections, and translate complex AI concepts into business‑friendly narratives.
Foster long‑term relationships with customers to identify expansion opportunities and drive AI adoption maturity.
Oversee architecture reviews, design validation, and technical quality assurance across AI projects.
Collaborate with delivery teams to ensure architecture alignment, scalability, and operational efficiency.
Mentor and guide AI engineers, data scientists, and solution architects, fostering innovation and continuous learning.
Evaluate new AI/GenAI technologies, frameworks, and models (e.g., GPT‑4/4o, Claude, Gemini, LLaMA, Mistral).
Develop accelerators, reusable assets, and reference implementations to enhance pre‑sales effectiveness.
Represent the organization at industry forums, webinars, and client advisory boards as an AI thought leader.
Maintain expertise in GenAI/LLM areas such as prompt engineering, RAG, fine‑tuning, embeddings, and vector DBs (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS, Cosmos DB, Milvus).
Demonstrate proficiency in GCP Vertex AI, BigQuery ML and in data engineering concepts including data lakes, feature stores, and streaming systems (Kafka, EventHub).
Utilize business and pre‑sales tools such as MS Visio, PowerPoint, Excel‑based ROI models, cost estimators, and proposal templates.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or Artificial Intelligence.
