The Role:

As an AWS Generative AI Architect you will be responsible for defining the end-to-end architecture, reference designs, and governance for Generative AI solutions across voice and chat channels. This role partners with product owners, security, data, and engineering teams to translate business outcomes into scalable, secure, and cost-optimised architectures on AWS, accelerating delivery of conversational AI products using Amazon Bedrock, agentic frameworks, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns.

Key responsibilities:

• Own the target-state architecture for GenAI products (voice and chat), including multi-account strategy, landing zone alignment, network patterns, and environment segregation (dev/test/prod).
• Define reference architectures for Amazon Bedrock, model orchestration, RAG, tool/function calling, and agentic workflows (e.g., LangChain/LangGraph/CrewAI/Strands-style patterns) with clear guardrails.
• Design enterprise-grade knowledge architectures: ingestion pipelines, chunking strategies, embedding/model choices, vector stores, metadata/ACL strategy, and evaluation loops to improve retrieval quality.
• Architect APIs and integration layers for GenAI agents (API Gateway/ALB, VPC integration, event-driven patterns), including connectivity to external systems and MCP-style tool servers where applicable.
• Establish security, privacy, and compliance-by-design: IAM least privilege, KMS encryption, secrets management, data classification, PII redaction, prompt/response filtering, and model governance.
• Drive non-functional requirements: reliability, scalability, latency, observability, DR, and cost controls (FinOps) for GenAI workloads.
• Guide build teams through solution design, reviews, and implementation; produce architecture artefacts (HLD/LLD), patterns, and decision records; mentor developers and engineers.
• Define evaluation and monitoring strategy: offline test sets, automated regression, hallucination detection, safety metrics, guardrail effectiveness, and production telemetry.
• Support stakeholder engagement and client-facing workshops to shape roadmaps, prioritise use cases, and align on success criteria.

Your Profile:

Essential skills/knowledge/experience:

• Strong hands-on architecting experience with AWS, including Well-Architected Framework, multi-account design, networking, and security patterns.
• Deep understanding of LLM concepts (prompting, tool use, retrieval, grounding, evaluation) and GenAI risk controls (hallucination, toxicity, PII leakage, prompt injection).
• RAG architecture expertise: data ingestion, embeddings, vector search, re-ranking, response synthesis, and continuous improvement using feedback signals.
• API and integration design experience, including event-driven architectures and secure connectivity to enterprise systems.
• Proficiency in one or more languages (Python/Node.js preferred) and infrastructure-as-code (CDK/CloudFormation/Terraform) for repeatable deployments.
• Experience setting up observability for GenAI: tracing, logging, metrics, and model/application performance dashboards.
• Excellent communication skills for architecture storytelling, stakeholder management, and client-facing workshops.
