AI Architect — Consultant (Part-Time, Leadership Role)
? [Location Pune / Remote] | ? 2–3 hrs/day commitment |
We're looking for a hands-on AI leader — someone who's currently architecting GenAI systems and leading teams, and wants a focused, high-impact part time engagement rather than a full-time seat.
This isn't a "help us get started" role. You'll own the technical direction for our AI initiatives, mentor a team of engineers, and be the final word on architecture decisions — in a fraction of the time of a full-time job.
This role is a fit if you:
Are currently (or very recently) working as an AI/ML Architect, Staff/Principal AI Engineer, or AI Engineering Lead
Have led or mentored a team of 3+ engineers in production GenAI/ML systems
Want flexible, contract-based leadership work — advisory-level ownership without full-time hours
What You'll Own
Set technical direction and architecture standards across our AI/GenAI product line
Guide and review the work of junior AI engineers — coding, testing, deployment standards
Own the responsible AI, evaluation,



and observability practices for systems in production
Partner with engineering, product, and data science leads to translate roadmap into working AI features
Take PoCs to production-grade deployment — with real accountability for latency, cost, and reliability
Keep our GenAI stack current — foundation models, multi-modal AI, emerging techniques — and drive adoption where it moves the needle
Ensure AI systems meet data privacy (GDPR, DPDP) and internal security standards
What You Bring
5+ years in software/ML engineering, including 2+ years hands-on with GenAI in production (not just POCs)
Proven track record leading or architecting LLM-based systems — not just building features under someone else's design
Strong Python + PyTorch/TensorFlow/Hugging Face Transformers
Deep hands-on experience: prompt engineering, fine-tuning, RLHF, RAG architectures, embedding models, vector DBs
Cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) + containerization
