AI Architect
About the Role
Who we are:
devx Labs is an AI-native consulting firm that fundamentally reimagines business operations around AI capabilities. We don’t just implement AI tools — we transform how enterprises operate through first-principles thinking and outcome-driven execution.
We combine the unbiased perspective of young, AI-native talent with seasoned practitioner insights to deliver transformative outcomes across India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
The Role AI Solutions Architect:
You’re the bridge between a client’s business problem and the technical system that solves it.
As an AI Solutions Architect at devx Labs, you lead technical discovery, design solution architectures, build engineering estimates, and shape the technical strategy for client engagements across our four practice areas. You’re the person in the room who can hear “we need to modernize our customer experience” and translate it into a phased technical roadmap with clear deliverables, team composition, and timelines.
This isn’t a paper architect role. You’ll prototype, validate technical assumptions, and stay hands-on enough to know when an estimate is realistic and when it’s fiction. You’re equally comfortable in a client boardroom and a code review.
Responsibilities
What you'll do:
Technical Discovery & Solution Design (40%)
Lead discovery workshops: Run technical discovery sessions with client stakeholders to understand business processes, pain points, data landscapes, and transformation goals
Architect AI-native solutions:Design end-to-end system architectures—covering AI components (RAG, agents, LLM workflows), application layers (Next.js, TypeScript, Medusa), data infrastructure (PostgreSQL, vector DBs), and cloud deployment (AWS/GCP)
Evaluate and recommend:Assess build-vs-buy decisions, technology stack choices, model selection, and integration approaches based on client constraints and ROI
Create technical proposals:Produce detailed architecture documents, system diagrams, and technical narratives that win client trust and close deals
Engineering Estimation & Planning (30%)
Build accurate estimates:Break down complex engagements into phased delivery plans with task-level estimates across modules, roles, and timelines
Define team composition: Specify the right mix of AI Engineers, AI-Native Engineers, and Platform Engineers for each engagement; factor in AI-assisted productivity gains
Risk assessment: Identify technical risks, dependency chains, and integration complexity; build mitigation strategies into project plans
Scope management: Work with Practice Leaders and Outcome Managers to balance ambition with delivery reality—protecting both client outcomes and team sustainability
Technical Leadership & Pre-Sales (30%)
Technical credibility in sales: Join pre-sales conversations to provide technical depth, answer architecture questions, and demonstrate devx Labs’ engineering capability
POC and prototype leadership:Build rapid proofs-of-concept that validate technical feasibility and demonstrate value before full engagement commitment
Cross-practice knowledge: Maintain deep understanding across all four practice areas—Customer Interactions, Marketing Automation, AI-Led Operations, and Enterprise Architecture—to architect integrated solutions
Mentor and elevate: Guide Senior AI Engineers on architectural thinking, system design principles, and client communication skills
