Lead/Architect GenAI Adoption

About the Position

We are seeking a GenAI Adoption Lead/ AI Architect to lead the discovery and early implementation stages of an enterprise AI-assisted SDLC transformation. This is a hands-on technical role combining GenAI solution architecture, agentic engineering, AI adoption, and technical discovery.

You will lead the evolution of an existing agentic engineering framework into a scalable, production-ready AI-assisted SDLC model, shaping the architecture, driving adoption, and turning AI capabilities into measurable engineering outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Lead the technical discovery and AI adoption assessment, working with engineering teams and stakeholders to evaluate the current SDLC, AI usage, architecture, tooling, processes, and team readiness
• Assess the existing AI/agentic engineering framework, identify technical and adoption gaps, and define the target state
• Own the definition of the GenAI solution architecture and implementation approach, including integrations with engineering environments, repositories, Jira/Confluence, CI/CD, and related systems
• Translate discovery findings into a prioritized transformation roadmap, including dependencies, risks, architecture decisions, and implementation priorities
• Define measurable success criteria, select an anchor project and pilot workflows, and establish the baseline against which AI impact will be measured
• Lead the design and implementation of agentic workflows, including agents, prompts/skills, context and tool access, guardrails, human-in-the-loop controls, quality gates, and model routing
• Define the approach to AI governance, evaluation, observability, telemetry, and auditability in collaboration with security, architecture, and compliance stakeholders
• Lead pilot execution end-to-end, validate results against agreed metrics, and turn learnings into reusable AI engineering practices

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in software engineering, solution architecture, engineering leadership, or technical consulting, with strong recent focus on Generative AI
• Proven experience leading GenAI adoption, AI-assisted SDLC transformation, or enterprise AI engineering initiatives
• Strong hands-on knowledge of LLMs, RAG, AI agents, agentic workflows, prompt/context engineering, tool calling, and multi-agent systems
• Experience designing enterprise GenAI architectures, including agent orchestration, knowledge/context integration, guardrails, evaluation, observability, and human-in-the-loop patterns
• Hands-on experience with AI engineering tools such as Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, or similar
• Strong understanding of software architecture, SDLC, CI/CD, APIs, cloud environments, and enterprise integrations
• Experience leading technical discovery, architecture assessments, gap analysis, and roadmap definition
• Experience designing and integrating AI agents into real engineering workflows
• Understanding of AI governance, security, telemetry, auditability, and responsible AI practices
• Ability to define measurable engineering and AI adoption metrics and evaluate outcomes
• Strong leadership, workshop facilitation, stakeholder management, and presentation skills
• Ability to independently structure ambiguous initiatives and turn high-level transformation goals into actionable technical solutions

Nice to Have

• Experience implementing AI governance in regulated enterprise environments
• Experience in pharma, healthcare, or other highly regulated industries

We Offer

• Flexible working format - remote, office-based or flexible
• A competitive salary and good compensation package
• Personalized career growth
• Professional development tools (mentorship program, tech talks and trainings, centers of excellence, and more)
• Active tech communities with regular knowledge sharing
• Education reimbursement
• Memorable anniversary presents
• Corporate events and team buildings
• Other location-specific benefits
