Solution Architect – IT Architect H/F

Job Description

We’re hiring an AI Solutions Architect who can take an ambiguous problem – “extract structured insight from hours of video” – and turn it into a production pipeline that actually works. We need an engineer who understands the full lifecycle: how raw data gets shaped, chunked, embedded, routed through a foundation model, validated, and turned into something a downstream system or human can act on. You’ll architect and build AI pipelines and autonomous agent systems on cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred), working closely with product, data, and engineering to deliver capabilities that move beyond proof‑of‑concept into reliable, scalable production workloads.

Sycomp is a global IT services and logistics provider with extensive expertise in cloud, data center, endpoint management and security solutions. Sycomp’s diverse team of consultants and engineers deliver on the company’s mission to tackle challenging global IT projects through its state-of-the-art integration and warehouse centers and global technology partnerships. Headquartered in the heart of Silicon Valley, California, Sycomp has successfully shipped, deployed and managed complex IT projects and supporting assets in more than 150 countries helping its Fortune 500 customers and global partners realize a world without boundaries.

Design and build AI pipelines that handle real‑world messiness – long‑form media, unstructured documents, streaming data, multi‑modal inputs – including the chunking, context management, retry logic, and output validation that production systems require.
Architect autonomous agent systems: tool selection, planning loops, memory strategies, evaluation, and the guardrails that keep them from going off the rails.
Build on AWS using services like Bedrock, S3, Lambda, Step Functions, SageMaker, OpenSearch, and ECS/EKS – choosing the right primitive for the job rather than forcing one pattern everywhere.
agentic workflows, and cost/latency/quality tradeoffs.
Own the data layer: how data is ingested, transformed, stored, indexed, and surfaced to models so that outputs are accurate, traceable, and useful.
Establish evaluation frameworks and observability so we know whether the system is actually getting better when we change it.Collaborate with engineers and stakeholders to translate fuzzy business problems into technical designs and shipped systems.

4+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years building AI/ML systems in production.
~ Hands‑on experience with AWS, including Bedrock or equivalent foundation model services, and at least a few of: S3, Lambda, Step Functions, SageMaker, OpenSearch, Dynamo DB, ECS/EKS.
~ Demonstrable experience building AI pipelines or agentic systems that handle non‑trivial data shapes – long documents, audio/video, large structured datasets, or streaming inputs.Strong intuition for prompt engineering, context window management, chunking strategies, and output validation (structured outputs, schema enforcement, retries on malformed responses).
~ Proficiency in Python; Solid grasp of data engineering fundamentals: how to clean, transform, embed, index, and retrieve data so that what reaches the model is actually useful.
~ Experience designing evaluation pipelines for non‑deterministic systems – you know that “it worked when I tested it” is not a quality bar.

Experience with Azure (Azure OpenAI, AI Foundry, AI Search) or GCP (Vertex AI, Gemini APIs).Background in multi‑modal systems (vision‑language models, audio transcription pipelines, video understanding).
Experience with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector, OpenSearch k‑NN) and hybrid retrieval strategies.Experience with MLOps tooling, model versioning, and A/B testingfor AI systems.Contributions to open source AI/ML projects.

When the API rate‑limits you mid‑pipeline? You communicate clearly with non‑AI engineers and non‑technical stakeholders. This position also includes a comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, vision, and other standard benefits.

This position is remote within the United States. Technology connects people, enables business, fosters innovation, and helps organizations operate without boundaries. Every day, Sycomp’s diverse team delivers on the company’s mission to help customers and partners navigate the complexity of global IT—from cloud and data center computing to cyber security, networking, and integration and logistics across more than 150 countries.
