AI Architect (Europe)

Ascendix Technologies is scaling its AI delivery capability and looking for a senior-level AI Architect who can lead real-world AI implementations across client delivery, solution architecture, and pre-sales. We are actively investing in AI engineering capabilities and building a long-term AI practice designed around practical, production-ready delivery.

If you thrive in high-ownership environments, move fast, and enjoy solving complex engineering problems with AI at the center, this role is for you.

What We're Looking For

AI Engineering & Delivery (Products and with AI)
· Building AI into products: Hands-on experience integrating LLMs into real applications; experience with RAG, AI agents, copilots, or AI workflow orchestration.
· Building products with AI: You already use AI in your development workflow (LLM-assisted coding, prompt engineering, AI-based testing / code review, automation) and can point to examples where this has accelerated delivery.

Architecture & Backend Engineering
· Strong backend engineering and architecture experience. We're not tied to a specific language or framework. What matters is that you can architect robust, scalable backend systems and that you understand why certain decisions matter.
· Proven experience shipping production systems end-to-end. Not just designed it, not just prototyped it. You've been responsible for something real that runs in production and that clients depend on.
· Infrastructure and scalability awareness.

Client-Facing & Communication
· Strong communication and client-facing skills, with the ability to present and explain complex solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including executives.
· Solid English proficiency suitable for executive-facing conversations.

Ways of Working
· Ability to operate with high ownership and minimal handholding.
· Works effectively within a delivery team, including engineers, consultants, and BAs, rather than as a solo contributor.

Nice to Have:
· Consulting or pre-sales experience (POC scoping, proposal shaping, estimation).
· Full-stack development background.
· Salesforce or CRM ecosystem exposure.
· Experience in real estate or financial services domains.

What You'll Do:

Architect & Deliver AI-First Solutions:
· Design and build production-grade AI-powered applications.
· Implement RAG pipelines, AI copilots, LLM integrations, and agentic workflows.
· Own architecture decisions across backend, infrastructure, scalability, and deployment.
· Lead technical delivery for client-facing AI initiatives.

Use AI to Accelerate Engineering: We expect AI to be part of your development workflow. 

You should already be using:
· LLM-assisted coding
· AI-powered development tools
· Prompt engineering
· AI-based testing and code review
· Intelligent automation workflows

Support Pre-Sales & Client Conversations
· Join discovery and solutioning calls with prospects.
· Translate business problems into realistic technical solutions.
· Provide architecture direction and delivery estimates.
· Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Help Shape the AI Practice
· Define reusable AI architecture patterns.
· Improve AI delivery standards and engineering workflows.
· Influence tooling, implementation approaches, and best practices.
· Work directly with senior architects and leadership/C-level.
· Mentor engineers and team leads on AI delivery practices.
· Lead and operate small delivery teams under compressed timelines.
