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
