GEN AI Senior Architect

• 10+ years in software or solution architecture, including 5+ years in enterprise integration within large organizations

• A shipping record: systems you designed that ran in production, and the ability to walk through what broke and what you changed

• Writing that lands with both executives and engineers: architecture decision records and decision memos

• AI assistants in your daily workflow — we work with Claude and Microsoft Copilot, and expect you to design and document with them, not around them
