AI Solution Architect (SME)
About this role
Our enterprise clients are moving from isolated AI initiatives to organization-wide AI platforms that must integrate with complex legacy systems, governance models, and business processes.
The challenge is no longer choosing models, but designing coherent, scalable AI architectures that deliver long-term business value.
This role exists to translate strategic AI ambitions into executable, enterprise-grade architectures.
