Key Responsibilities: 

Presales & Client Engagement

  • Partner with sales and industry teams to design client-ready demos, proof-of-concepts, and technical solution blueprints.
  • Present complex architectures in a clear, business-outcome-driven manner to both executive and technical stakeholders.
  • Contribute to RFP/RFI responses, solution proposals, and deal shaping.
  • Act as a trusted advisor in client conversations, highlighting differentiators of Data & AI Solutions.

Solution Architecture & Demo Environments

  • Architect distributed, scalable, and resilient data and AI platforms for presales demonstrations.
  • Design abstraction layers for multi-model AI orchestration, including fallback logic, dynamic model switching, and cost control.
  • Lead implementation of event-driven architectures using messaging frameworks (Kafka, Pulsar, SQS, etc.) and state machines.
  • Build reusable, industry-specific demo environments leveraging hyperscaler services and data platforms.

Observability, Security & Compliance

  • Define and enforce observability standards for demo and enterprise environments (logging, tracing, telemetry, real-time alerting).
  • Implement zero-trust security models (RBAC/ABAC, IAM, OAuth2, encryption, API gateways).
  • Ensure all demo and client environments meet compliance standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, SOC2.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work with Product, Data Science, Engineering, and Governance teams to align demos with business/regulatory needs.
  • Collaborate with IMUs (verticals) to build domain-specific demo templates (e.g., Insurance claims, Healthcare payment integrity, Banking KYC/fraud, Retail personalization).
  • Provide hands-on support to engineering teams during delivery, troubleshooting, and performance tuning.

Innovation & Technical Leadership

  • Stay ahead of hyperscaler advancements, AI/ML frameworks, and orchestration patterns.
  • Drive technical due diligence, PoCs, and vendor/platform evaluations.
  • Create technical artifacts (architecture diagrams, design patterns, runbooks).
  • Mentor presales engineers and junior architects in solution design and client presentation skills.
 
 

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • Certifications preferred:
    • Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP).
    • Kubernetes / CNCF ecosystem.
  • Architecture frameworks (TOGAF, SAFe).
  •  

Skills & Experience

Must-Have Skills & Experience

    • Azure (Fabric, Synapse, Data Factory, Azure ML, Power BI).
    • AWS (Redshift, Glue, S3, SageMaker, Lake Formation).
    • GCP (BigQuery, Dataplex, Vertex AI, Pub/Sub).
  • Proven experience architecting distributed systems, microservices, and scalable AI/ML platforms.
  • Strong knowledge of Data Governance, Data Quality, Metadata, Lineage, and DataOps.
  • Expertise in event-driven systems and asynchronous workflows.
  • Hands-on with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, ELK).
  • Advanced programming with Python (async), TypeScript/JavaScript, or Go.
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes, service mesh (Istio), serverless design patterns.
  • Experience with CI/CD automation, GitOps, Terraform, Helm.
  • Strong presentation, storytelling, and client engagement skills.

Preferred Skills

  • Experience with multi-tenant SaaS platforms and usage-based billing.
  • Familiarity with data mesh, knowledge graphs, and semantic interoperability.
  • Knowledge of frontend architecture patterns (micro-frontends, data visualizations).
  • Experience building presales demo or sandbox environments.

Exposure to agentic AI concepts and LLM-based orchestration.
