Solution Architect - AI & MLOps Platforms

Architecture & Design Leadership

• Define and lead the overall solution architecture, component boundaries, APIs, data flows, and cloud/service integrations.
• Architect microservices-based, API-first backends for both platforms.
• Design for multi-tenancy, RBAC, internationalization, and privacy-by-design.
• Implement collaboration frameworks (e.g., CRDT/OT), version control, and rollback systems.
• Lead architecture for LLM/AI agent integration: inference pipelines, caching, prompt orchestration.
• Set technical standards for cloud infrastructure, containerization (Docker, K8s), and ML ops tools (MLflow, Airflow, etc.).

Technical Oversight & Execution

• Provide mentorship and code/architecture reviews across backend, frontend, DevOps, and AI teams.
• Oversee integration of AI/ML pipelines into product features.
• Drive decisions on data lifecycle: versioning, lineage, cataloging, and secure flows.
• Ensure effective API gateway design and service discoverability.
• Define the roadmap for third-party integrations (Zapier, Figma, payments, cloud).

Performance, Scalability & Security

• Architect for scale: sharding, caching, horizontal scaling, and efficient API performance.
• Ensure high availability, disaster recovery, and graceful failover mechanisms.
• Implement compliance frameworks (SOC2, GDPR, ISO), secure tokenization, audit logging.
• Oversee authentication/authorization: OAuth2, SAML, MFA, RBAC.

Cross-Platform Integration & Product Synergy

• Create a shared foundation across platformsuser management, services, and data models.
• Enable plugin architecture and future extensibility.
• Collaborate with Product, UX, and research teams (AI/ML, NLP, HCI) to align tech with product goals.

Delivery, Documentation & Continuous Improvement

• Run whiteboarding sessions, design reviews, and architecture alignment meetings.
• Maintain architecture documents, diagrams, and decision logs.
• Track system KPIs: uptime, latency, inference time, error rates.
• Proactively identify and resolve architectural risks or tech debt.
• Foster a culture of innovation, quality, security, and agility.
