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
Software development is undergoing rapid transformation as organizations prioritize faster delivery cycles, minimized errors, and superior code standards. These improvements are critical drivers of reduced time-to-market and improved customer outcomes. Historically, software deployment timelines have suffered under conventional coding methods, with approximately 30% of projects running over schedule due to inefficiency and defects.
IgniteTech is spearheading this shift by embedding advanced GenAI capabilities into software architecture and development workflows. Rather than focusing on gradual optimization, this position provides the opportunity to spearhead transformative AI-powered initiatives. You will be instrumental in applying AI not merely to improve, but to fundamentally reshape how software is architected and delivered, driving substantial gains in efficiency and strategic advantage.
This position is intended for individuals committed to operating at the frontier of technological innovation. It is not an execution-focused or task-level role; instead, it is a strategic function centered on research and development, prototyping, and deploying AI to create next-generation software systems. The ideal candidate possesses not only deep expertise in AI and software architecture but also a forward-thinking perspective on applying technology to advance business objectives.
In this capacity, you will guide our team in defining the architectural blueprints and strategies that embed AI throughout our software platforms. This role is central to our organizational goals, and your contributions will have direct impact on the productivity and caliber of our output. We encourage you to apply if you are motivated by expanding the limits of technology and committed to driving meaningful change in the software sector.
What you will be doing
- Architect comprehensive frameworks for AI-powered systems that automate sophisticated elements of software development, including architecture synthesis, dependency orchestration, and intelligent predictive coding.
- Conduct in-depth exploration of emerging trends in AI and software engineering through R&D activities, conference participation, and collaboration with academic and industry networks. When novel AI technologies are released, we must be positioned among the earliest adopters.
What you will NOT be doing
- Routine Code Maintenance: Ongoing updates or debugging of existing codebases to address minor bugs or enhance functionality.
- Standard Software Development: Conventional coding or development work involving the implementation of basic features or capabilities without AI incorporation.
Key responsibilities
- Apply your engineering knowledge to drive measurable gains in development velocity, error reduction, and code quality, resulting in accelerated time-to-market for software offerings and elevated customer satisfaction.
Candidate requirements
- A minimum of 3 years of experience as a full-stack software developer (proficiency in both front-end and back-end development is mandatory)
- Substantial experience working extensively with GenAI code assistants (e.g., Github Copilot, Cursor.sh, v0.dev)
- Proven track record of successfully delivering Generative AI products/projects/solutions/tools
- Demonstrated experience utilizing various LLMs (e.g., GPT, Claude, Mistral) to address business challenges
- Knowledge of when and why to select particular LLM models for distinct use cases
- Confirmed understanding and practical implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
