Responsibilities:
- Own solution design from initial workshop through delivery-ready blueprint
- Lead solution workshops with programme, ministry, engineering, and external stakeholders
- Convert requirements into service boundaries, data stores, sequence diagrams, decision gates, and open-question lists
- Write architecture decision records and resolve conflicting technical decisions
- Architect LLM generation, curriculum knowledge-graph retrieval, LLM-as-judge pipelines, and constraint-based paper assembly
- Design human-AI workflows with auditability, segregation of duties, cycle-pinned configuration, and protection of student PII
- Choose and govern models, prompts, evaluation gates, fallbacks, and OCR providers
- Shape Azure/AWS platform architecture including identity, networking, LLMOps/MLOps, observability, and sovereign hosting
- Define contracts, schemas, metadata logging, evaluation harnesses, release gates, rollback, cost controls, and FinOps guardrails

- 8+ years building software or data/AI systems, with recent experience as a Solution Architect, AI/ML Architect, or Principal/Staff Engineer with end-to-end architecture ownership
- Shipped at least one production AI/ML system at scale that passed real security, cost, and operations review
- Ability to produce delivery-ready architecture blueprints covering services, data stores, IAM, failure modes, evaluation strategy, and cost model
- Deep cloud experience on Azure and/or AWS
- Experience defending landing-zone and private-endpoint architecture and real compute/inference/OCR spend
- Fluent in Python
- Hands-on experience with classical ML, model training, evaluation, feature pipelines, LLM APIs, embeddings, and vector search under production load
- Comfortable running workshops with non-engineers and translating between technical and non-technical stakeholders
