Senior AI Architect

Join SADA as a Senior Artificial Intelligence Architect

 

Your Mission 

 

As a Senior Artificial Intelligence Architect at SADA, you will work in a fast-paced, highly-skilled team developing state-of-the-art enterprise solutions using a wide variety of artificial intelligence technologies. You will work directly with customers, engineers, sales teams and partners to deliver high quality professional service engagements to SADA’s customers. SADA is a premier partner of Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and as such, our implementations focus on enabling customers to best utilize GCP or to demonstrate its capabilities. 

 

You will be responsible for building cloud-native artificial intelligence solutions using Google’s Vertex AI platform and all related technologies, such as Gemini large language models, Agent Builder, LangChain, Vector Search and more. You will also be responsible for implementing domain-specific solutions such as Search for Retail, Media and Healthcare, and Contact Center AI Platform. This is a hands-on role that will include both architecting and implementing AI solutions.

 

Artificial intelligence is an extremely dynamic and quick-changing discipline. Therefore, your approach for learning new technology will be as important as any prior knowledge. We are looking for a “professional tinkerer” with a passion for continuous learning and a knack for problem solving. Someone that learns fast and pivots even faster. That always says “I’ll figure it out” instead of “I don’t know.”

 

Your day-to-day will consist of the following activities:

• Implementing AI–based solutions for SADA clients across all project stages, from discovery and architecture, to development, testing and launch
• Providing subject matter expertise and assistance to SADA clients and colleagues on artificial intelligence topics

• Collaboration with client stakeholders managing the project, including other engineers and Director-level client resources

Expectations

 

Customer-Facing - Daily interactions with customers, including standups or sales meetings; at other times, weekly/bi-weekly as for sprint planning, reviews/retrospectives, or demos. These interactions will be with roles ranging from engineers to key executive stakeholders.

 

Travel - Willingness and ability to travel to customer sites, conferences, and other related events when needed (minimal travel is expected)

Onboarding/Training -The first several weeks of onboarding are dedicated to learning and will encompass learning materials/assignments and compliance training, as well as meetings with relevant individuals. Details of the timeline are shared closer to the start date.
