đź’° Up to ÂŁ130,000 p/a + bonus

We’re partnered with an innovative technology leader known for building high-impact, production-grade AI systems.

This AI Architect role is for someone who builds applied GenAI systems that ship and make a real difference.

You’ll work dire ctly with clients across sectors to design and deliver production-ready LLM-powered solutions, from rapid proof-of-concept through to scalable, secure deployment.

This is not a pure data science role.

The Role

As an AI Architect, you’ll take ownership of designing and delivering client-facing GenAI systems.

You’ll operate across:

• Architecting RAG-based solutions using modern LLM frameworks

• Designing scalable LLM applications with secure data integration

• Leading discovery sessions and shaping technical direction with clients

• Translating ambiguous business problems into AI-powered systems

• Building production-ready pipelines, not just notebooks

• Collaborating with engineers, designers and product teams to ship working systems

The work is varied, consultative, and hands-on.

You’ll be expected to prototype, architect, and guide delivery, not just advise from the sidelines.

What You’ll Bring

• Commercial experience building and deploying LLM-powered applications

• Experience with RAG pipelines, embeddings, vector databases, and orchestration frameworks

• Strong Python fundamentals and production system design experience

• Cloud exposure (AWS, Azure or GCP) and modern containerised environments

• Experience operating in consultancy, studio, or innovation-led environments

• The ability to engage clients confidently and shape technical direction

• You care about applied impact, not just model accuracy.

• You’re comfortable navigating ambiguity and building solutions that work in the real world.

What’s on Offer

• Salary up to £130,000 (flex) depending on experience

• Bonus and strong benefits structure

• Hybrid working (London-based team)

• Exposure to varied, complex AI problems across multiple industries

• Real ownership of architecture decisions

• A leading innovative consultancy culture that prioritises engineering quality over process theatre

If you’re an AI Architect or ready to own Generative AI end-to-end and ship systems that make a real-world impact, this is your opportunity to lead applied AI solutions at leading businesses around the world.
