Designs end-to-end AI system architecture across models, data, integration, cost and compliance.

What AI Solutions Architect (2) is

The role makes the structural choices — hosted or self-hosted, RAG or fine-tuning, where humans review — and justifies them against cost and risk constraints.

How it works

It requires breadth across cloud infrastructure, data platforms, model options, security and regulation, plus the ability to explain trade-offs to executives.

Why it matters

Architecture decisions taken early determine cost and compliance for years, long after individual models are replaced.
