TL;DR · GCP AI Architect

The GCP AI Architect will design and implement scalable, modular generative AI architectures for production use across customer-facing and internal products. The role involves building RAG architectures, multi-agent systems, and workflow orchestrations while managing low-latency inference, model routing, and fallback strategies. Key responsibilities include developing data pipelines for unstructured data processing, managing document ingestion and chunking, and ensuring data quality and governance. The candidate must utilize GCP cloud-native environments, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines while applying MLOps practices like model versioning and drift detection. Technical requirements include expertise in LLMs, prompt engineering, vector databases, and knowledge graphs. Additionally, the architect must implement AI security guardrails, content filters, and responsible AI practices to mitigate risks like prompt injection and data leakage.

What you'll do

  • Design scalable, modular Generative AI architectures for production use.
  • Implement RAG architectures, vector databases, and multi-agent workflow orchestrations.
  • Integrate GenAI capabilities into customer-facing and internal products.
  • Build data pipelines for unstructured data processing, document ingestion, and chunking.
  • Manage MLOps practices including model versioning, deployment pipelines, and drift detection.
  • Deploy and manage containerized applications using Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Implement AI security guardrails, content filters, and responsible AI policy enforcement.
  • Optimize model inference for low latency and cost-control strategies.

What we're looking for

  • Strong understanding of Generative AI models, including LLMs, multimodal models, and embeddings.
  • Hands-on experience with foundation models and model adaptation techniques.
  • Expertise in prompt engineering, prompt orchestration, and agent-based frameworks.
  • Ability to design scalable, modular GenAI architectures using RAG, vector databases, and multi-agent systems.
  • Proficiency in data pipelines, feature engineering, and unstructured data processing.
  • Strong experience in cloud-native environments (GCP) and MLOps practices including model versioning and CI/CD.
  • Experience with containerization, Kubernetes, and inference optimization.
