TL;DR

As a Principal AI Systems Architect at Deutsche Bank, you will lead the architectural integrity and long-term technical roadmap for AI platforms, focusing on hands-on RAG architecture, large-scale repository ingestion, and deep LLM system design. Your responsibilities include designing Vector DB, Graph DB (e.g., Neo4j), and RDBMS solutions, leveraging Google ADK/Vertex AI for retrieval optimization and robust embeddings pipelines, and integrating knowledge graphs to develop AI Gateway and orchestration frameworks. You will also architect multimodal systems, evaluate rapid toolset options, and ensure cost-aware AI architecture across distributed systems. This role requires deep expertise in AI/ML/LLM domains, extensive engineering and systems design knowledge, proven experience in product delivery and MLOps, proficiency with specific technologies like Neo4j and PostgreSQL + pgvector, and a strong understanding of compiler theory and scaling distributed systems.
