The AI Solutions Architect decides the technical shape of AJ Gallagher's AI solutions before they are built, and makes sure that shape holds up once they are live. This role involves turning business problems into architectures (RAG, agent, workflow), choosing platforms like Microsoft Foundry or Copilot Studio, and designing identity, data, and integration patterns for a regulated global insurance business.
Responsibilities
- Shape Solutions From Business Problems: Lead technical discovery with business stakeholders and the AI Business Analyst, turning ambiguous requests into solution options with clear trade-offs, feasibility, effort, and run-cost estimates.
- Own Reference Architectures: Define and maintain Gallagher's reference architectures for RAG, single and multi-agent systems, and Copilot extensibility on Microsoft Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Cosmos DB, and Azure compute.
- Make, Record, and Explain Architecture Decisions: Make platform and pattern calls (model selection, retrieval design, agent setup, datastore choice, messaging, hosting) and record them as ADRs.
- Design Governance and Data Residency: Build Gallagher's compliance requirements into the architecture itself - Entra ID/RBAC and managed identity, Azure Policy, private networking, Standard (Regional) or DataZone Standard model deployments.
- Prove Ideas With Working Prototypes: Build proofs of concept and technical spikes in Python and C#/.NET that test a design's riskiest assumptions.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent field
