Leverage prompt engineering and LLM-driven code generation to accelerate solution development
Help clients build a foundational understanding of agentic AI and what it can realistically do in their environment
Evaluate client use cases to assess whether agentic architectures are the right fit, or whether simpler approaches will deliver better outcomes
Guide clients through deployment decisions, including build vs. buy, orchestration tooling, and phasing of rollout
Serve as a knowledgeable translator between agentic AI capabilities and the practical, operational realities of the client's business
Evaluate and recommend data architecture patterns that protect PII and citizen data, particularly in public sector environments subject to regulatory oversight
Design guardrails, access controls, and governance policies that enable AI adoption without compromising security or public trust

Speak at agency, industry, and conference events where appropriate, representing the practice externally
Serve as the named architect on flagship engagements and contribute to RFP and SOW work as the AI subject matter expert

Requirements

What you’ll need

**7 or more years** in technology architecture, solutions consulting, or a closely related discipline, with **at least 3 years focused on AI or GenAI solution delivery**
**Demonstrated experience developing AI roadmaps** and translating strategic intent into phased, executable plans
**Hands-on proficiency with LLMs, RAG architectures, vector databases, and prompt engineering** in production or near-production contexts
**Working knowledge of agentic AI design patterns** and multi-agent orchestration frameworks
**Fluency with AI-native development workflows**, including agentic IDEs and vibe coding approaches for rapid prototyping
