Principal Solution Architect (Agentic AI, GenAI, Custom Development)

Your role

As a Principal Solution Architect, you define how AI-powered and custom-built solutions are designed, positioned, and delivered across strategic engagements. You act as a trusted advisor to clients and internal stakeholders, shaping opportunities from early qualification and deal closure through successful delivery. With Agentic AI and GenAI at the core, you translate complex business challenges into scalable, enterprise-grade architectures across cloud and on-premises environments.

You lead the technical narrative in bids, RFPs, executive discussions, and client workshops, influencing solution design and commercial strategy. You also help shape AI and custom-development offerings by creating reference architectures, reusable assets, and go-to-market propositions.

Your tasks

• Lead solutioning and win strategic AI and custom-development engagements; drive the technical narrative, define the approach and architecture, and participate in proposal defence with clients.
• Shape commercially viable solutions by defining scope, architecture, delivery approach, effort estimates, risks, and pricing assumptions with sales and delivery teams.
• Design end-to-end enterprise architectures combining LLMs, agentic patterns, and RAG, including integration with existing systems, data flows, security, scalability, observability, and cost optimization.
• Ensure enterprise-grade AI governance by defining guardrails, supporting model-evaluation approaches, and addressing compliance, security, and operational risks early in solution design.
• Build and evolve GenAI offerings and reusable assets, including reference architectures, RAG patterns, accelerators, and standardized delivery approaches.
• Lead client-facing activities, including workshops and discovery phases; structure requirements and translate business problems into architecture proposals and roadmaps.
• Contribute to custom-development initiatives, including modernization, cloud-native builds, and integrations, identifying where AI delivers tangible value.
• Act as a trusted technical advisor across pre-sales and early delivery phases, and mentor architects and senior engineers through reviews, feedback, and hands-on guidance.

Your profile

• 10+ years of experience in software engineering and architecture, including several years in a client-facing solutioning, pre-sales, or principal architect role.
• Proven track record of winning and delivering complex, high-value engagements, including shaping solutions, leading proposal defence, and influencing client decisions in competitive scenarios.
• Strong hands-on experience in AI and GenAI, including practical use of LLMs, RAG patterns, and agentic workflows in production or near-production environments.
• Solid background in enterprise software architecture, with the ability to design distributed, scalable solutions and integrate AI components into existing application landscapes.
• Experience with cloud-native and hybrid architectures across Azure, AWS, or GCP, including containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD, security, and cost management; AI/ML workload exposure is preferred.
• Experience in bids and commercial shaping, including scope definition, effort estimation, risk identification, and contribution to pricing and commercial assumptions.
• Ability to structure ambiguous problems, challenge assumptions when needed, and translate business needs into actionable architecture decisions.
• Strong stakeholder-management skills and the ability to engage senior business stakeholders and engineering teams.
• Fluent English at C1+ level for client-facing and proposal work.
