Ensure designs meet regulatory, data-residency and AI-governance obligations, with controls documented for audit and assurance. Maintain architectural standards and decision records, and provide design sign-off and technical assurance across programmes. Work with engineering teams to produce high-level and low-level designs and guide them through implementation. Work with product managers to understand requirements and translate them into pragmatic, well- sequenced architecture. Present architecture options, trade-offs and risks clearly and persuasively to executive and non-technical audiences. 12+ years in solution or enterprise architecture, including at least 1 year delivering AI solutions in production. 5+ years of experience with Azure, including sovereign or government cloud variants. Hands-on knowledge of LLM patterns: RAG, vector databases and orchestration frameworks such as LangChain or CrewAI. Strong grounding in cloud-native architecture (containers, APIs, event-driven design) and in Zero Trust and encryption-by-default principles.
