Full description
Key ResponsibilitiesArchitecture & Solution Leadership
- Lead the design of enterprise-grade GenAI and agentic architectures (single-agent, multi-agent, tool-driven systems).
- Define reference architectures, reusable frameworks, and best practices for LLM applications across the organisation.
- Architect and oversee implementation of end-to-end RAG pipelines:
- Data ingestion → chunking → embeddings → vector search → orchestration → response synthesis.
- Drive scalability, reliability, cost optimisation, and performance across GenAI platforms.
Agentic & LLM Engineering (Hands-on + Oversight)
- Provide technical leadership in prompt engineering, prompt orchestration, and agent workflows (LangChain, LangGraph, etc.).
- Guide teams on tool-calling, function-calling, memory handling, and multi-agent system design.
- Lead efforts in hallucination reduction, guardrails, safety mechanisms, and output evaluation frameworks.
Platform & Engineering Excellence
- Architect production-grade APIs and services (FastAPI/Flask/enterprise microservices) for LLM solutions.
- Define MLOps / LLMOps pipelines including CI/CD, monitoring, observability, and evaluation.
- Partner with Data Engineering teams to ensure:
- Data quality, lineage, governance, and compliance
- Seamless integration with enterprise data platforms
Organisation-Level Responsibilities (Critical)Capability Building & CoE Development
- Build and scale GenAI / Agentic AI Centre of Excellence (CoE).
- Define standardised frameworks, accelerators, and reusable components to improve delivery velocity.
- Drive organisation-wide adoption of GenAI best practices and tooling standards.
Strategic & Stakeholder Leadership
- Engage with CXOs, business stakeholders, and clients to translate business problems into AI-led solutions.
- Lead solutioning, pre-sales, RFP responses, and client workshops for GenAI opportunities.
- Influence AI strategy, roadmap, and investment decisions at organisational level.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
- Establish enterprise governance frameworks for GenAI:
- Responsible AI, security, privacy, ethical usage, and compliance
- Data access, redaction, model usage, auditability, and explainability
Mentorship & Team Leadership
- Mentor and guide architects, engineers, and data scientists.
- Drive technical upskilling, hiring strategy, and capability maturity.
- Review solution designs and enforce architecture quality standards.
