The Generative AI Technical Architect will serve as the principal technical authority responsible forthe end-to-end design, implementation, and governance of all enterprise-grade Generative AI(GenAI). This role requires a blend of deep technical expertise in large language models (LLMs),enterprise system architecture, and strategic acumen to translate complex business objectives into secure, scalable, and ethically compliant GenAI applications that drive measurable organizational value.

Key Responsibilities and Duties –

 Define GenAI Architecture: Establish the architectural blueprint, reference architectures, and technology standards for deploying GenAI solution - including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), autonomous agents, and model fine-tuning pipelines.

 Complete Hands-on in developing Agentic AI applications for production scalable experience is mandatory.

 Technology Selection and Evaluation: Conduct rigorous evaluation, benchmarking, and selection of foundational models (both commercial and open-source, e.g., GPT, Claude, Llama), vector databases (e.g., OpenSearch,Pinecone, Weaviate),



and orchestration frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LlamaIndex, openAISDK).

 Integration Planning: Design robust integration patterns (APIs, microservices, event-driven architectures) to seamlessly connect GenAI capabilities with core enterprise platforms (CRM, ERP, HRIS) and existing data infrastructure.

 Performance and Cost Optimization: Architect technicals with a focus on high-throughput, low-latency inference, and optimization of computational resources (GPU/TPU utilization) to ensure cost-efficiency at enterprise scale.

 Responsible AI and Governance: Operationalize and enforce enterprise-wide Responsible AI policies, including mechanisms for bias mitigation, toxicity filtering, data provenance, and explainability (XAI) within all GenAI deployments.

 Data Security and Privacy: Design data workflows and security measures to ensure sensitive enterprise and customer data is protected throughout the GenAI lifecycle, adhering to regulations such as GDPR,

 LLMOps Implementation: Define and standardize LLMOps practices, including automatedmodel deployment, continuous monitoring for model drift and hallucination, version control, and CI/CD pipelines for AI assets.

 Innovation Roadmap: Develop and maintain a forward-looking Generative AI technology roadmap, constantly evaluating emerging trends (e.g., multi-modal models, agentic frameworks) and proposing pilots and strategic investments.
