Solution Architect
Job Description
AI-Native Solution Design & Framework Development
Design and architect AI-native solutions for enterprise clients spanning Generative AI, agentic workflows, intelligent automation, and digital product engineering.
Collaborate with the Principal Architect to create, review, and continuously improve AI engineering frameworks, reference architectures, and solution accelerators.
Stay current on emerging AI/ML tools, platforms, and methodologies — evaluating and adopting relevant capabilities into Jade's delivery toolkit.
Contribute to the development of reusable assets including solution templates, architecture patterns, and proof-of-concept frameworks.
Delivery Collaboration & Technical Leadership
Work hand-in-hand with software engineering and development teams to ensure architecture-to-delivery continuity on client engagements.
Provide technical oversight and architectural guidance throughout project execution — from solution design through go-live and stabilization.
Conduct architecture reviews, code reviews, and design sessions to ensure quality, scalability, and alignment with agreed patterns.
Identify and resolve technical risks proactively, serving as an escalation point for complex delivery challenges.
Technical Consulting & Client Engagement
Engage directly with client technical teams and business stakeholders to understand requirements, surface pain points, and design pragmatic solutions.
Translate business problems into technology solutions using the latest AI, cloud, data, and engineering capabilities.
Support pre-sales and RFP activities by contributing to solution design, effort estimation, and technical proposal development.
Participate in client workshops, architecture walkthroughs, and technical presentations — communicating complex concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Cloud & Automation Architecture
Architect solutions on major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) with strong command of cloud-native patterns — microservices, serverless, event-driven, and containerized architectures.
Develop intelligent automation solutions leveraging RPA, AI-enhanced workflows, and integration platforms.
Ensure solutions meet enterprise standards for security, compliance, performance, and cost optimization.
Practice & Knowledge Contribution
Contribute to Jade Global's internal knowledge base, CoP (Community of Practice), and learning initiatives around AI and modern engineering.
Mentor junior architects and senior engineers — sharing expertise, reviewing technical work, and supporting capability development.
Support the Principal Architect in shaping the evolving AI&DE service offerings and go-to-market messaging.
