AI Architect

Overview

Design practical AI-enabled solution architectures that translate business and supervisory priorities into implementable technology solutions, particularly where AI can improve regulatory examination workflows, staff planning, budgeting, workflow management, and other mission-oriented processes.

What you'll do

• Assess existing technology environments and identify opportunities, dependencies, constraints, and impediments associated with integrating AI capabilities into existing systems and workflows.
• Develop solution architectures that integrate with core enterprise platforms and define required data flows, interfaces, integrations, and dependencies.
• Translate business, functional, and technical requirements into executable AI solution designs, working across business, technology, risk, compliance, and operations stakeholders.
• Lead or support hands-on implementation, including configuration, integration, testing, troubleshooting, defect and root-cause analysis, deployment, and transition to sustainable operations.
• Embed technology risk, cybersecurity, data protection, privacy, resiliency, and regulatory considerations into AI solution designs.
• Support remediation and corrective actions where AI, data, integration, or technology issues contribute to deficiencies identified through examinations, audits, technology assessments, or other reviews.
• Develop architecture and implementation documentation with appropriate traceability and version control and support knowledge transfer and training.

What you'll need

• Must be able to obtain and maintain a Federal or DoD "Public Trust"; candidates must obtain approved adjudication of their Public Trust prior to onboarding with Guidehouse.
• US Citizenship is contractually required.
• Minimum of eight (8+) years of professional experience.
• Strong AI and technology solution architecture skills, including hands-on experience with system architecture, interfaces, integrations, dependencies, and data flows.

• Experience designing or implementing AI-enabled solutions within regulatory, supervisory, risk, compliance, or other mission-oriented workflows.
• Experience working with enterprise platforms such as Snowflake, ServiceNow, and SharePoint, including integration with existing systems and workflows.
• Experience supporting technology remediation or corrective action efforts resulting from regulatory examinations, audits, technology assessments, or similar reviews.
• Experience operating in environments with significant cybersecurity, privacy, resiliency, data governance, and regulatory requirements.
• Experience taking technology solutions through assessment, architecture/design, development or configuration, testing, deployment, and implementation.
• Experience translating business and functional requirements into practical, implementable technology solutions.
• Experience with data architecture, enterprise integration, technology implementation, migration, troubleshooting, and defect resolution.
