AI Architect - SC cleared - London/Hybrid - Government project
Key Responsibilities
- Architect enterprise-grade AI solutions using frontier foundation models (e.g., Claude, GPT, Gemini family) across use cases including agentic automation, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), copilots, and multi-modal applications
- Lead technical solutioning during pre-sales and discovery, translating client business challenges into scalable AI architecture and delivery roadmaps
- Design and govern the AI platform architecture: model orchestration, prompt and context management, retrieval pipelines, vector stores, agent frameworks, and tool/context integration (including emerging protocols such as MCP)
- Define and enforce responsible AI, governance, and assurance frameworks - covering bias, safety, data privacy, and model risk - aligned to client and regulatory requirements
- Lead and mentor a team of AI engineers and architects, building technical capability and clear career pathways within the practice
- Own technical relationships with hyperscaler and frontier model partners (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Anthropic, OpenAI) to stay ahead of platform capability
- Drive reusable accelerators, frameworks, and IP that can be repeated and scaled across client engagements
- Act as a trusted advisor to client CxOs and senior stakeholders on AI strategy, architecture, and roadmap
- Own end-to-end delivery quality: architecture reviews, technical governance boards, production readiness, and post-go-live scaling
- Contribute to thought leadership - whitepapers, conference contributions, and internal capability-building
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
