We are currently seeking a AI Native Product Architect to join our team in Plano, Texas (US-TX), United States (US).

Job Description: AI Native Product Architect

Role Summary

We are looking for a highly skilled AI Product Native Architect to design and implement end-to-end AI-native product architectures. This role demands strong technical expertise in AI/ML frameworks, data engineering, cloud-native systems, and scalable distributed architecture, with hands-on experience building and deploying AI-powered products. The ideal candidate is a practitioner-architect who can move seamlessly from designing high-level architecture to rolling up their sleeves and prototyping solutions.

Key Responsibilities

+ Architecture & Solution Design

+ Define and own the technical architecture of AI-native products, ensuring high availability, performance, and security.

+ Architect scalable data pipelines, model training, inference services, and orchestration frameworks.

+ Design cloud-native, containerized architectures (Kubernetes, microservices, serverless functions) optimized for AI workloads.

+ Create reference architectures and reusable design patterns for AI-first product development.

+ Hands-On Technical Execution

+ Build PoCs, prototypes, and reference implementations to validate architecture decisions.

+ Develop and optimize APIs, vector databases, and real-time inference pipelines for LLMs and ML models.

+ Implement MLOps pipelines for continuous integration, delivery, monitoring, and retraining of models.

+ Ensure observability with logging, monitoring, and tracing for data and AI services.

+ Technology Evaluation & Integration

+ Evaluate AI/ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, LangChain, Ray, MLflow) for product suitability.

+ Select and integrate data platforms, feature stores, vector DBs (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS, Milvus, etc.).

+ Work with cloud AI services (AWS Sagemaker, Azure AI, GCP Vertex AI) and open-source alternatives.

+ Optimize cost, latency, and scalability for inference at production scale.

+ Collaboration & Leadership

+ Work closely with product managers, AI researchers, and engineers to translate requirements into architecture.

+ Conduct technical deep-dives, architecture reviews, and performance benchmarking.

+ Mentor engineers on AI-native design principles and best practices.

Required Qualifications

Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or related field.

Experience:

+ 8+ years in software architecture/engineering, with 4+ years in AI/ML-focused product development.

+ Proven hands-on experience in designing and deploying AI-native systems in production.

Technical Expertise:

+ Strong proficiency in Python, Java, or Go, with hands-on coding ability.

+ Deep knowledge of AI/ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, LangChain).

+ Experience with data engineering, ETL pipelines, and streaming platforms (Kafka, Spark, Flink).

+ Strong understanding of cloud-native systems (Kubernetes, Docker, microservices).

+ Practical knowledge of vector search, embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).

+ Strong grasp of security, governance, and compliance in AI workloads.

Preferred Skills

+ Experience scaling LLM-powered applications with low-latency serving and caching strategies.

+ Knowledge of distributed training/inference using GPUs/TPUs, model sharding, and parallelization.

+ Familiarity with responsible AI practices: fairness, explainability, auditability.

+ Exposure to API design and monetization strategies for AI-powered SaaS products
