AI Architect $100,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
Traditional coding practices have long constrained software deployment timelines, with approximately 30% of projects running late due to inefficiencies and errors. The imperative to accelerate development cycles, minimize human error, and improve code quality has never been more urgent—these factors directly determine product time-to-market and customer satisfaction in today's competitive landscape.
IgniteTech is spearheading this transformation by embedding advanced GenAI technologies into software architecture and development workflows. This position diverges from conventional roles centered on incremental gains; instead, it presents a unique opportunity to champion AI-driven initiatives that fundamentally reshape how software is conceived and built. Your contributions will directly enhance efficiency and strategic competitiveness, moving well beyond surface-level improvements.
This is a strategic, research-intensive role—not a routine operational assignment. You will engage deeply in R&D, prototyping, and the practical application of AI to create next-generation software solutions. We seek candidates who combine technical mastery in AI and software architecture with a visionary outlook on technology's role in driving business innovation.
You will guide our team in establishing the architectural frameworks and strategies that embed AI into our software offerings. Your work will be central to our mission, directly shaping the productivity and quality of what we deliver. If you are committed to advancing the frontiers of technology and eager to drive meaningful change in the software industry, we invite you to join us.
What you will be doing
- Architect comprehensive AI-powered systems that automate intricate facets of software development, including architecture generation, dependency management, and advanced predictive coding capabilities.
- Immerse yourself in emerging AI and software engineering advancements through R&D projects, conference participation, and active engagement with academic and professional networks. We require readiness to evaluate and integrate new AI technologies as soon as they emerge.
What you will NOT be doing
- Routine Code Maintenance: Performing regular updates or debugging on existing codebases to address minor issues or incremental functionality improvements.
- Standard Software Development: Executing basic coding or development tasks that involve straightforward feature implementation without AI integration.
Key responsibilities
- Apply your engineering acumen to drive measurable gains in development velocity, error reduction, and code quality, accelerating time-to-market for software products and elevating customer satisfaction.
Candidate requirements
- A minimum of 3 years of full-stack software development experience (encompassing both front-end and back-end coding proficiency)
- Substantial hands-on experience with GenAI code assistants (e.g., Github Copilot, Cursor.sh, v0.dev)
- Proven track record of successfully delivering Generative AI products, projects, solutions, or tools
- Demonstrated experience applying various LLMs (e.g., GPT, Claude, Mistral) to address business challenges
- Knowledge of when and why to select particular LLM models for distinct tasks
- Confirmed understanding and practical application of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
