Predominantly remote (Occasional travel to South London)
Our client is building a new AI capability for a live operational environment and needs a Solution Architect to take ownership of it end to end - from how models are trained, through to inference, through to how it all knits into an existing technical estate. You'll shape the architecture, write it up properly (HLDs, LLDs, decision records, options papers with real costed trade-offs), and then stand behind it in front of design authority and assurance boards when it gets challenged.
It's a genuinely technical AI role rather than a strategic overview one — you'll need to know, in practice, how model serving actually works at scale, where inference bottlenecks show up, and how the levers between accuracy, latency and cost actually trade off against each other. You should also be comfortable enough with computer vision (CNNs, vision transformers, detection and segmentation methods) to push back on a data science team's approach when needed.
- Working out how to run models in constrained or edge settings: quantisation, pruning, distillation, ONNX/TensorRT, and picking the right accelerators for the job
- Building for sites with poor or intermittent connectivity, with training centralised and models pushed out from there
- Reviewing and challenging supplier architecture, including calling out vendor lock-in risk and build-vs-buy calls
- A track record as a solution/technical architect on AI projects sitting inside bigger strategic programmes
- Solid AWS experience - S3, Lambda, EventBridge, SNS/SQS
- Experience architecting data for large volumes of imagery - tiering, retention, lineage, provenance
- Familiar with the governance side of AI - DPIAs, model documentation, bias and fairness checks
Bonus points for:
- Background in X-ray-based AI models or density/object identification
- Knowledge of the DSIT AI Playbook or the Algorithmic Transparency Recording Standard
