Senior Solutions Architect

What You Will Do

• -
• Embed with the client team for the length of the engagement, working inside their environment rather than alongside it from a distance
• -
• Spend time with the people who do the job the system is meant to change before you design anything, so the architecture is grounded in how the work actually happens
• -
• Write clean, production grade Python across AI integrations, backend services, and RESTful APIs (Flask, Django, or FastAPI)
• -
• Design, build, and optimize RAG systems and agentic AI solutions running in production, not demos or notebooks
• -
• Own system design and architectural decisions across the engagement: microservices vs monolith, sync vs event driven, SQL vs NoSQL
• -
• Own the technical direction of the engagement from discovery through delivery
• -
• Act as the client's direct technical point of contact: present architecture, defend trade offs, and push back on scope when it does not match timeline or budget
• -
• Support presales activities where relevant, including discovery calls, technical proposals, scoping, and client facing demos
• -
• Lead architecture reviews, produce technical design documents, and contribute to standards across the Python practice
• -
• Feed what you learn back into Provectus's blueprint library, so the next engagement starts further ahead
• -
• Mentor engineers, lead code reviews, and share knowledge across the team

What You Will Bring

• -
• 7+ years building and running production systems; hands on production experience is required, demo only or POC only backgrounds will not be considered
• -
• Production experience with RAG systems and LLM based agentic workflows that are live and running, not prototypes
• -
• Backend development experience with Flask, Django REST, or FastAPI
• -
• Recent, hands on experience with AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock, Lambda, ECS, S3, SQS, ECR, or similar); GCP considered
• -
• Experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or AWS Bedrock)
• -
• Strong Python proficiency: OOP, design patterns, clean architecture, and performance optimization
• -
• Demonstrated experience making and defending system design and architectural trade off decisions
• -
• Comfortable owning direct communication with client stakeholders, without a project manager relaying the conversation
• -
• Genuine willingness to spend time close to the people who do the job before you design a system to change it, and comfort with an engagement that starts underspecified by design
• -
• Strong testing practices: pytest, mocking, and integration tests for AI systems
• -

Experience with Docker and Kubernetes

• -
• Understanding of LLM evaluation techniques and quality assurance approaches
• -
• Experience deploying and maintaining AI/ML models in production environments
• -
• Already using AI assisted development tools in your daily workflow (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar)
• -
• Proactive and self directed; you own outcomes end to end and spot problems before they are handed to you
• -
• B2+ English, comfortable collaborating across distributed, multicultural teams

Nice to Have

• -
• Exposure to Financial Services or Healthcare and Life Sciences, our two primary practice verticals
• -
• Presales experience: cost estimation, cloud architecture cost optimization, scoped and phased delivery plans
• -
• Prior consulting, professional services, or other embedded client facing delivery
• -

Experience with React or Vue

• -
• AWS or Claude Code certifications
• -
• Experience with Streamlit or Gradio for AI prototyping
• -
• Modern Python tooling (ruff, uv, pyproject.toml, pyright)
• -
• CI/CD pipeline experience (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
• -
• Experience in an additional language (Go, Node.js, or Rust)
