AI Architect

AI Architect

A client within the software industry is investing heavily in AI, both in its own products and across the company, and is looking for an AI Architect to plan & design how AI is used in software development, R&D and sales. They're tool agnostic and use pretty much everything on the market, so breadth across the stack matters more than mastering a single tool.

What you'll do:

• Research AI tools, models and platforms across the stack and give honest, clear recommendations
• Talk to stakeholders in R&D, engineering, sales and IT to find where AI actually pays off
• Design the target AI architecture: models and hosting (cloud vs self-hosted), agents and MCP integrations, data access, security, governance and cost
• Draw it: architecture diagrams and decision records that people actually read
• Walk developers through the design and present it to management and non-technical stakeholders
• Support teams in turning the plan into working pilots

What we're looking for:

• Senior background in software engineering or architecture, with hands-on AI/LLM work beyond experiments
• Versatility across tools and vendors over deep expertise in just one
• Solid grasp of LLM application patterns: RAG, agents, tool use / MCP, evaluation and guardrails
• Experience with several model providers (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, Google Gemini) and with self-hosted or open models
• Cloud experience (Azure, AWS or GCP)
• Strong English, equally comfortable at the whiteboard with devs and in front of leadership
• Self-driven and able to deliver on a part-time allocation

Makes you a very strong candidate (any of these):

• AI in software development: Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex or similar, and AI in code review, test generation and CI/CD
• AI in R&D: AI in product development, QA and test automation, ideally in C++ or embedded environments
• AI in sales: Salesforce (Agentforce, Einstein, Data Cloud), CRM AI and sales enablement

Nice to know:

• C++, QML and the Qt framework
• Jira, Gerrit and Git-based review and CI
• QA and static analysis tools
• MCP servers and agent skills

Start: Asap

Location: Espoo, on-site

Allocation: 20-25%, growing

Duration: ongoing
