About the Role

This opportunity is open for candidates located in Calgary, Edmonton, or Toronto.

As a Senior AI Architect, you are a principal-level technical and strategic leader responsible for designing, deploying, and scaling agentic AI solutions in production environments.

You will move clients from idea → prototype → production → measurable value.

This is a hybrid technical and commercial role. You are accountable for architecting sound, secure, and scalable agentic systems — while ensuring they deliver adoption, ROI, and lifecycle growth.

You will partner closely with industry vertical leaders, engineering teams, and executive stakeholders.

What You'll Do

• Lead discovery with senior stakeholders to identify high-impact agentic use cases
• Translate complex business problems into production-ready AI system designs
• Architect secure, auditable agentic workflows (reasoning, tool use, data access, evaluation)
• Drive solutions from prototype to AltaForge production deployment (our internal agentic platform)
• Ensure all solutions align with AltaForge architecture for reusability and scale
• Define and enforce evaluation standards to measure outcomes and value creation
• Support account growth by ensuring successful delivery and lifecycle value realization

What Success Looks Like

• 6–8 production deployments per year
• Strong time-to-value from concept to go-live
• High client satisfaction and measurable business impact
• High-quality evaluation datasets tied to real outcomes
• Contribution to recurring and licensing revenue growth

What You Bring

• 8+ years in AI/ML, architecture, or technical strategy roles
• Deep experience with agentic AI, RAG systems, orchestration, and tool integration
• Experience supporting the deployment of AI systems into enterprise or regulated environments
• Strong systems thinking and architectural judgment
• Executive presence and ability to operate across technical and commercial domains
• Bias toward production, accountability, and measurable outcomes
