About the role
Job purpose Lead the design and implementation of the Risk AI Platform (Risk OS) by establishing a scalable data, semantic, and integration architecture that connects multiple AI-driven business applications through a common data layer, governance framework, metadata strategy, and shared services model. The role will define the target-state architecture for AI applications, Snowflake-based data assets, APIs, and enterprise integrations while ensuring solutions are production-ready, audit-ready, compliant, and aligned to enterprise technology standards.
The architect will serve as a hands-on technical leader, bridging business teams building AI applications with IT, infrastructure, security, and data teams to accelerate industrialization and deployment of AI solutions.
Key responsibilities • Define and evolve the enterprise architecture for the Risk AI Platform, including data models, semantic models, metadata standards, integration patterns, API strategy, and shared data services across multiple AI applications. • Design and implement a unified data architecture leveraging Snowflake as the central data layer, enabling reuse of common datasets, APIs, business entities, risk opinions, assessments, and historical records across applications. • Establish metadata, governance, lineage, and semantic standards using enterprise data governance practices and tools such as Collibra to improve interoperability, discoverability, and consistency of data assets. • Partner with business users, AI application teams, infrastructure, and IT teams to productionize AI-generated applications, including architecture reviews, deployment standards, code reviews, GitHub integration, UAT support, and operational readiness. • Define integration standards for Snowflake, SharePoint, Bloomberg APIs, Azure services, web applications, AI agents, and future enterprise platforms while promoting reusable services and common architectural patterns. • Provide technical leadership and architectural guidance for AI, GenAI, agent-based solutions, MCP-enabled architectures, and enterprise AI governance, ensuring scalability, security, compliance, and audit requirements are embedded into all solutions • Mentor architects and delivery teams with strong technical leadership • Own outcomes from vision to implementation, balancing business, technology, and risk
