SENIOR SOLUTIONS ARCHITECT | PYTHON AND GENAI
Provectus
Full-timesenior
Job description
What You Will Do:
•
Embed with the client team for the length of the engagement, working inside their environment rather than alongside it from a distance
•
Spend time with the people who do the job the system is meant to change before you design anything, so the architecture is grounded in how the work actually happens
•
Write clean, production grade Python across AI integrations, backend services, and RESTful APIs (Flask, Django, or FastAPI)
•
Design, build, and optimize RAG systems and agentic AI solutions running in production, not demos or notebooks
•
Own system design and architectural decisions across the engagement: microservices vs monolith, sync vs event driven, SQL vs NoSQL
•
Own the technical direction of the engagement from discovery through delivery
•
Act as the client's direct technical point of contact: present architecture, defend trade offs, and push back on scope when it does not match timeline or budget
•
Support presales activities where relevant, including discovery calls, technical proposals, scoping, and client facing demos
•
Lead architecture reviews, produce technical design documents, and contribute to standards across the Python practice
•
Feed what you learn back into Provectus's blueprint library, so the next engagement starts further ahead
•
Mentor engineers, lead code reviews, and share knowledge across the team
What You Will Bring:
•
7+ years building and running production systems; hands on production experience is required, demo only or POC only backgrounds will not be considered
•
Production experience with RAG systems and LLM based agentic workflows that are live and running, not prototypes
•
Backend development experience with Flask, Django REST, or FastAPI
•
Recent, hands on experience with AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock, Lambda, ECS, S3, SQS, ECR, or similar); GCP considered
•
Experience with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, or AWS Bedrock)
•
Strong Python proficiency: OOP, design patterns, clean architecture, and performance optimization
•
Demonstrated experience making and defending system design and architectural trade off decisions
•
Comfortable owning direct communication with client stakeholders, without a project manager relaying the conversation
•
Genuine willingness to spend time close to the people who do the job before you design a system to change it, and comfort with an engagement that starts underspecified by design
•
Strong testing practices: pytest, mocking, and integration tests for AI systems
•
Experience with Docker and Kubernetes
•
Understanding of LLM evaluation techniques and quality assurance approaches
•
Experience deploying and maintaining AI/ML models in production environments
•
Already using AI assisted development tools in your daily workflow (Claude Code, Copilot, or similar)
•
Proactive and self directed; you own outcomes end to end and spot problems before they are handed to you
•
B2+ English, comfortable collaborating across distributed, multicultural teams
Nice to Have:
•
Exposure to Financial Services or Healthcare and Life Sciences, our two primary practice verticals
•
Presales experience: cost estimation, cloud architecture cost optimization, scoped and phased delivery plans
•
Prior consulting, professional services, or other embedded client facing delivery
•
Experience with React or Vue
•
AWS or Claude Code certifications
•
Experience with Streamlit or Gradio for AI prototyping
•
Modern Python tooling (ruff, uv, pyproject.toml, pyright)
•
CI/CD pipeline experience (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI)
•
Experience in an additional language (Go, Node.js, or Rust)
What We Offer:
•
Full ownership of production engagements, not a review and hand off role
•
Access to Provectus's blueprint library, built from every engagement we have shipped
•
Internal training programs (Leadership, Public Speaking, and more) with full support for AWS and other professional certifications
•
Career growth: a clear path toward SA or beyond; we actively develop our engineers
•
Access to the latest AI tools and premium subscriptions
•
Long term B2B collaboration
•
Remote first within Europe, with flexible hours
•
Private medical insurance or a budget for your medical needs
•
Paid sick leave, vacation, and public holidays
•
Equipment and all the tech you need for comfortable, productive work
