AWS AI Architect

Sr. AWS AI Architect
Greenwood Village, CO 80111
On-Site Role (4 days a week)
Contract Duration: 6 months, with possibility for extension or conversion

Our client’s Network Technology Services (NTS) organization is expanding its AI architecture team to support the build-out of an enterprise-scale, cloud-agnostic AI platform. We are seeking a high-level, hands‑on Senior AWS AI Architect with deep, production‑hardened expertise in AWS’ AI/ML ecosystem. In this onsite role, you will lead the architecture and design of AWS-based AI/ML components, drive the real‑world deployment of agentic AI solutions for autonomous networking, and ensure regulatory compliance in a highly collaborative environment.

You will work closely with a large team of engineers and architects, translating architectural vision into actionable engineering tasks, and architecting systems with human-in-the-loop controls. This is a contract position (6 months) with the potential for extension or conversion.

• Lead architecture design for AWS-based AI/ML components within a cloud-agnostic AI platform
• Evaluate and evolve existing reference architectures for long-term production readiness
• Collaborate with peer architects across AWS, GCP, and on-prem (NVIDIA) environments to ensure architectural alignment
• Translate architectural designs into actionable development tasks for engineering teams
• Provide guidance on system integration, service wiring, and operationalization of AI/ML workloads
• Break down features into engineering deliverables in partnership with the Director of Engineering
• Apply expertise in AWS-native LLMs (e.g., Amazon Nova, Anthropic Claude via Bedrock, Bedrock models)
• Engage with engineering leads, data teams, and internal stakeholders across NTS to drive project success
• Participate in whiteboarding sessions, technical reviews, and architecture governance activities
• Ensure all AI workloads comply with regulatory requirements and guardrails (e.g., Colorado AI regulations)
• Architect systems with “human in the loop” controls, particularly for autonomous networking workflows
• Support the breakdown of features into engineering deliverables and provide technical leadership to a team of 40 engineers and architects

• Extensive experience as an AWS Architect with a hands‑on engineering background
• Proven expertise in designing and deploying production‑grade AI/ML solutions using AWS services, including Bedrock, Sage Maker, Agentic/Orchestration tooling (e.g., Strands), LLMs (Nova, Anthropic Claude), EMR, Kinesis, Neptune/Neptune ML, S3, Data Lake, Aurora, and RDS
• Ability to decompose architecture into actionable engineering tasks and understand development workflows
• Experience designing workflows that integrate automation with human oversight ("human in the loop")
• Background in highly regulated industries (e.g., Telco, Healthcare, Finance) is highly preferred
• Skilled in architecting scalable, secure, and compliant AI/ML systems
• Strong collaboration skills; able to work onsite and participate in frequent whiteboarding and technical reviews
• Experience partnering with cross‑functional teams across AWS, GCP, and on‑prem environments
• Ability to ensure AI workloads adhere to regulatory requirements and industry best practices
• Excellent communication and leadership skills to guide and mentor engineering teams

• Opportunity to lead the architecture of a cutting‑edge, enterprise‑scale AI platform
• Work with a collaborative team of 40+ engineers and architects
• Potential for contract extension or conversion to a permanent role
• Engage in innovative projects at the intersection of AI, cloud, and autonomous networking
• Be part of a diverse and inclusive workplace—Eight Eleven Group (Brooksource) is an Equal Opportunity Employer
