Lead Solution Architect

About the role

KBX Logistics is looking for a Lead Solution Architect (Data & AI) to lead solution architecture for our Enterprise Data Platform (EDP) and help evolve it into an AI-enabled data platform. This is a hands-on role for someone who brings deep AWS solution architecture expertise and can evaluate, design, and implement AI capabilities that improve how users interact with enterprise data. You'll bring deep AWS solution architecture expertise and a builder's mindset, with the ability to evaluate, architect, and deliver emerging AI capabilities over enterprise data. Prior hands-on AI implementation experience is valuable, but we recognize that AI technologies continue to evolve rapidly and are looking for someone who can help shape KBX's long-term AI architecture strategy while growing with the space.

The KBX DataOps team builds and supports enterprise data capabilities housed in AWS that help business teams access trusted data, improve decision-making, and scale analytics. We partner across business, technology, governance, cloud, and security teams to deliver reliable data products and modern platform capabilities.

• Lead solution architecture and hands-on delivery of scalable data platform capabilities, including self-service access patterns, APIs, data products, metadata services, and AI-enabled experiences.
• Translate business, data, and AI opportunities into production-ready architecture patterns that balance scalability, security, maintainability, and speed to value.
• Build foundational platform capabilities including metadata management, semantic models, orchestration frameworks, secure access patterns, observability, and governance services that enable analytics, automation, and AI workloads.
• Serve as the hands-on architectural lead for the team's AWS-native platform architecture, owning design decisions and directly contributing to implementation.
• Continuously modernize data pipelines to reduce redundancy, control cost, and improve reliability and observability.
• Codify reusable architecture patterns (Terraform) and mentor data engineers to scale successful patterns across initiatives/projects.
• Serve as the solution architecture contributor in architecture review processes.
