AI Solution Architect | Glasgow | Competitive Salary
We're working with a leading organisation based in Glasgow to recruit an experienced AI Solution Architect to join their growing technology team. This is a pivotal role for someone who wants to shape the future of AI-powered products - bridging cutting-edge research with production-grade engineering.
The Role
As AI Solution Architect, you'll lead the design and delivery of scalable, secure LLM-powered solutions from prototype through to production. You'll set technical direction, define best practices, mentor developers, and work cross-functionally with Product, Data, Ops, IT Governance and Cyber Security teams to identify where AI can deliver real business value.
This isn't a hands-off architecture role - you'll be deep in the code, using AI coding assistants like Claude Code as part of your daily workflow, while also owning quality, reliability, observability and performance across AI systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement secure, scalable Generative AI and LLM-powered applications
- Lead architecture and end-to-end development of AI solutions
- Define technical standards, engineering roadmaps and best practices for AI initiatives
- Collaborate with Product to identify and shape candidate AI use cases
- Ensure AI solutions are secure by design and data is handled responsibly and ethically
- Evaluate and select AI frameworks, LLM providers, vector databases and cloud infrastructure
- Mentor and provide technical leadership to the development team
- Stay current with advancements in AI and help shape the organisation's AI journey
- Communicate technical trade-offs and progress clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- 5+ years in a software development role
- Hands-on experience with Generative AI and LLMs
- Strong knowledge of RAG, prompt engineering and evaluation techniques
- AI infrastructure experience -vector stores, embeddings, model serving
- AI agent frameworks and orchestration
- Proficiency in TypeScript, Python, React and/or Node.js
- Microsoft .NET stack, SQL Server, NoSQL (e.g. Cosmos DB)
- REST API design, clean architecture and design patterns
- GIT, Azure DevOps, CI/CD Pipelines and IaaC
- Secure AI solution design and responsible AI principles
Desirable:
- Degree level qualification
- Experience with agentic tooling
- Background in domain-driven design or event-driven systems
- Knowledge of the Facilities Management domain
What Kind of Person Thrives Here?
You're proactive, outcome-focused and equally comfortable working independently or as part of a collaborative team. You care about code quality, you mentor others naturally, and you bring a pragmatic, flexible approach to solving complex problems. You take ownership - of your work, your deadlines, and the standards of the team around you.
Interested?
If you're ready to take a lead role in shaping how AI is built and deployed at scale, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch with Christina Hall at [email protected] for more information.
