We are looking for an Enterprise Data Architect to own how Generative AI capabilities are designed, structured, and scaled across the enterprise. This role defines how data, knowledge, and large language models (LLM) come together to power AI-driven interactions across customer experiences, internal tools, and business workflows. 

You will shape how information flows across the organization and how AI systems access, interpret, and apply that information. This includes defining how structured data and unstructured knowledge are prepared, indexed, and retrieved to support reliable, high-quality outputs. 

This is a strategic architecture role with direct influence on how systems are built. You will set architectural direction, make key design decisions, and guide engineering and platform teams to ensure a consistent and scalable approach. 

What You Will Do 

  • Define the architectural strategy for Generative AI, LLM, and AI platform capabilities across the enterprise 

  • Shape how enterprise data, knowledge, and metadata are structured and accessed for AI-driven use cases 

  • Establish patterns for how data flows across ingestion, transformation, indexing, embeddings, and retrieval 

  • Guide how AI systems handle ambiguity, variability, and non-deterministic behavior 

  • Influence how models, data sources, APIs, and workflows are orchestrated into scalable systems 

  • Establish how AI systems are evaluated, observed, and operated in production, including output quality, system behavior, and reliability 

What You Will Bring 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related technical field 

  • 10+ years of experience in data architecture, AI/ML systems, or distributed platform design 

  • Experience setting architectural direction and influencing system design across teams 

  • Strong background in data modeling, data pipelines, and large-scale data systems 

  • Understanding of retrieval, search, and indexing systems, along with Generative AI architectures including LLMs, embeddings, RAG, tool-calling agents, API integration, human-in-the-loop approvals, agent identity, multi-agent patterns, MCP and A2A-style integrations, and controlled autonomy 

  • Experience with modern data and cloud platforms, especially AWS and Snowflake, including Bedrock, vector databases, hybrid search, APIs, event-driven architecture, IAM, observability, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and model selection across LLMs, SLMs, and multimodal models 

  • Ability to design systems that balance scalability, performance, cost, and operational complexity
