As a Lead Architect (VP), you will provide independent oversight while partnering closely with engineering, product, and control stakeholders to embed resiliency-by-design into AI systems and delivery processes. You'll help ensure that AI-enabled solutions-including modern GenAI/LLM workloads and MCP-based service integrations-meet enterprise security, resiliency, and regulatory expectations without slowing innovation.
Job Responsibilities:- Lead resiliency-by-design for AI platforms: Define, standardize, and drive patterns for high availability, disaster recovery, backup/restore, capacity planning, and operational readiness for AI/ML and GenAI services.
- Partner across the firm: Collaborate with Lines of Business and platform/service teams to influence architecture, controls, and operating models that support AI value realization and enablement at scale.
- Enable responsible scaling of GenAI: Support teams in productionizing LLM-powered capabilities (e.g., retrieval-augmented generation, agentic workflows, evaluation/monitoring, safety guardrails) with reliability, traceability, and appropriate controls.
- Establish and assess standards: Ensure AI solutions align to enterprise security, resiliency, and external regulatory expectations; identify gaps, define actionable remediation, and drive closure through accountable owners and timelines.
- Operationalize oversight: Review solution designs, validate runbooks and SLOs/SLAs, and guide teams through readiness checkpoints (testing, failover exercises, incident learnings, and continuous improvement).
- Drive pragmatic outcomes: Balance governance and speed by creating reusable guardrails, reference architectures, and enablement guidance that engineering teams can adopt consistently across environments.
Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills:- Significant experience designing, delivering, and operating enterprise-scale platforms across on-prem and cloud environments.
- Strong grounding in AI/ML engineering and the realities of production AI (model lifecycle, data dependencies, reliability, performance, monitoring, drift, and change management).
- Hands-on understanding of GenAI/LLM systems and modern patterns (e.g., RAG, agents, prompt/model evaluation, safety controls) and how these workloads behave in production.
- Demonstrated strength in resiliency, availability, recovery, and data protection controls-especially for distributed systems and cloud-native services.
- Experience leveraging cloud AI and platform services (e.g., AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud) and integrating managed services into governed enterprise environments.
- Ability to operate as a strategic partner and influencer, driving alignment across engineering, product, risk, and control stakeholders.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate between architecture, risk/control requirements, and engineering execution-producing clear decisions, trade-offs, and documentation.
Preferred Qualifications:- Experience translating business objectives and governance/risk requirements into pragmatic engineering standards, reference architectures, and "paved road" enablement patterns.
- Experience with Amazon Bedrock or equivalent enterprise model access platforms (e.g., Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI), including identity, access control, and governance considerations.
- Experience with GenAI mediation patterns (e.g., MCP or comparable governed tool/service routing), including auditability, policy enforcement, and controlled connectivity to internal/external services.
- Experience with Temporal or comparable workflow orchestration platforms for durable automation, long-running AI operations, and agent/workflow reliability.
- Experience with sandboxed execution, coding agents, secure agent runtimes, or developer workspaces for controlled code execution and experimentation.
- Experience with token/cost telemetry, usage attribution, chargeback/showback, or FinOps data pipelines for AI platform economics and capacity management.
- Experience supporting regulated, sensitive, or client-confidential workloads, including strong practices around data handling, privacy, and operational risk.
