In this role, you will define practical architecture patterns that make data, APIs, and platform capabilities easier to access, govern, integrate, and scale.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;You will work closely with data scientists, ML engineers, software engineers, data engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders to translate complex product and data needs into production ready solutions. This includes shaping architecture, validating ideas through prototypes and proofs of concept, and helping teams move from early concepts to scalable implementations that serve clients, internal users, applications, and AI agents.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;This role is ideal for someone who enjoys both architecture and execution. Someone who can facilitate a future state design conversation, define an API integration pattern, evaluate an AI use case, and then help a team create a working prototype or reference

applications, internal tools, and client facing capabilities.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Translate business and product needs into technical designs, implementation plans, architecture diagrams, and phased delivery roadmaps.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Build prototypes, proofs of concept, and reference implementations to validate technical feasibility and help teams move faster.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Help define practical architecture patterns for cloud applications, APIs, data pipelines, semantic layers, AI and machine learning workflows, and event driven integrations.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Work with engineering teams to make key technical decisions around system design, integration patterns, data models, platform choices, and build versus buy tradeoffs.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Help shape API strategies that make data, models, and platform capabilities easier to consume securely and consistently across teams and products.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Create solution design documents, API specifications, architecture decision records, reference architectures, and technical implementation guidance.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Embed with delivery teams when needed to clarify requirements, unblock implementation issues, validate technical feasibility, or help move a concept from prototype to production.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Partner with security, data governance, and platform teams to ensure solutions are secure, compliant, observable, and supportable.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Mentor engineers and technical teams on architecture practices, API design, data architecture, AI system design, and pragmatic delivery.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Evaluate emerging technologies, including managed AI platforms, semantic layer tools, agent frameworks, and cloud data

architecture patterns such as microservices, API first design, event driven architecture, domain driven design, and evolutionary architecture.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Experience with cloud platforms, preferably Azure, and modern data platform patterns.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Experience building prototypes or proof of concept solutions to validate ideas before full scale implementation.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Experience working with cross functional teams including product, engineering, data science stakeholders.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;• Experience with CI/CD, automated
