Job Description: AI Technical Architect

Location: India (Hybrid, supporting a US-based organization)
Reports to: Sr Director BTO, United States
Function: Business Technology Office (BTO) — AI Enablement

This engagement supports US-based business divisions, so significant real-time collaboration with US-based teams (including Security, Compliance, IT, and Governance) is expected. As an independent contractor, you retain flexibility in how you structure your day: you are expected to maintain a daily core-hours overlap window with US Eastern/Pacific business hours (exact window to be agreed) to support architecture reviews, working sessions, and cross-team alignment meetings, while managing your remaining hours and schedule independently to meet agreed deliverables and milestones. This is a deliverable- and availability-based engagement, not a fixed-shift schedule.

Role Summary
The AI Technical Architect owns the engineering, security, governance, and reusability of AI solutions across the company. This person takes rapidly prototyped (“vibe coded”) AI agents, bots,



and apps — often produced by the AI Business Architect or business teams — and makes the disposition call (retain, refactor, wrap, replace, or rebuild), then re-architects and rebuilds them into secure, production-grade, scalable solutions, reusing existing prototype code only where company policy and engineering standards allow. The role works directly with Security, Compliance, IT, and Governance teams to stay current on requirements and embed them into architecture from the start (not just at review time), builds highly reusable AI solutions within the company’s AI Registry, and drives architectural discussions, alignment, gap analysis, and roadmap planning with those teams.
This is a hands-on architecture role — not a strategy-only enterprise architect position. Depth in building, securing, and operating production AI/agentic systems is expected.
