AI Solution Architect | Glasgow | Competitive Salary
Were 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, youll lead the design and delivery of scalable, secure LLM-powered solutions from prototype through to production. Youll 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 isnt a hands-off architecture role - youll 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 organisations AI journey
* Communicate technical trade-offs and progress clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
What Were 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?
Youre 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.
