AI/ML Architect - Principal (US - EAST)

About the role

At Slalom, we co-create modern technology and software products with clients who are accelerating their digital transformation journeys. We blend design, product engineering, analytics, automation, and AI-native delivery to build intelligent products and platforms that can operate safely at enterprise scale. As an AI/ML Architect, you’ll design and deliver production-grade AI systems that combine machine learning, generative AI, agentic workflows, modern data platforms, and cloud-native engineering across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. You’ll partner with clients to shape strategy, define secure and governed architectures, and move AI solutions from experimentation into reliable business operations.

Responsibilities

• Architect and deliver enterprise-scale AI systems spanning data products, retrieval pipelines, model orchestration, agentic workflows, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, optimization, and lifecycle management.
• Design secure, scalable, cloud-native and hybrid architectures across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, including modern AI platform services such as Amazon Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI, and enterprise data platforms.
• Lead applied AI solution design across generative AI, agentic AI, multimodal AI, advanced RAG, knowledge assistants, prediction, optimization, computer vision, and decision-support use cases.
• Enable production GenAI and agentic AI adoption, including advanced RAG, tool/function calling, structured outputs, workflow orchestration, model routing, prompt and context engineering, memory patterns, and human-in-the-loop controls.
• Define AI evaluation, observability, and reliability patterns, including offline test sets, automated evals, tracing,
