About Optimizer
Optimizer is a technology partner with over 25 years of experience delivering high-impact IT solutions across Healthcare, Retail, Infrastructure, Financial Services and complex cross-industry environments.
AI is not new to us.
We actively deliver AI solutions in production environments across international reference cases, including regulated and mission-critical contexts.
Over the last years, we have built a strong foundation:
- A multidisciplinary AI Centre of Excellence
- A proprietary AI framework guiding strategy, architecture, governance and evaluation
- Proven RAG and agentic architectures running in production
- AI-enhanced development initiatives accelerating engineering productivity
- Deep enterprise integration expertise across complex legacy and cloud ecosystems
- A strong Human-AI-Experience mindset — humanising AI to ensure usability, trust and adoption
We are now entering a new phase.
We are industrialising our enterprise AI capability — transforming validated AI systems into scalable, repeatable, production-grade services deployable across industries and markets.
To support this growth, we are strengthening our architectural leadership with a:
Senior AI & Solution Architect
The Role
We are looking for a senior architectural leader — experienced enough to design enterprise-grade systems, but hands-on enough to turn architecture into reality.
This role requires active technical contribution.
We expect you to define core technical foundations and contribute directly to implementation when needed.
This is not a pure AI research role.
This is not a generic solution architect role.
It is a hybrid position for someone who:
- Has a strong backend and distributed systems foundation
- Understands full-stack systems and enterprise integration
- Has delivered AI solutions into production
- Thinks in scalable platforms, not isolated prototypes
- Moves confidently between whiteboard architecture, implementation decisions and executive discussions
AI is central — but architectural depth, scalability, integration maturity and production readiness are equally critical.
Your Mission
Design and lead enterprise-grade solutions that combine solid engineering foundations with advanced AI capabilities.
You will:
- Architect scalable, resilient and maintainable backend and distributed systems
- Design AI-enabled solutions, including RAG and agentic architectures
- Embed AI into real enterprise platforms — not standalone experiments
- Ensure production readiness: security, observability, governance, performance and cost control
- Define reusable solution patterns and accelerators
- Support strategic proposals and complex client engagements
- Identify and shape AI-driven opportunities that can be transformed into scalable, revenue-generating solutions
Your mission is to bridge strong engineering principles with advanced AI — transforming innovation into reliable, industrialised services.
What We Are Looking For
- 7+ years in software architecture or enterprise systems
- Strong backend engineering and distributed systems experience
- Experience designing scalable enterprise platforms
- Proven delivery of AI solutions into production
- Hands-on experience with RAG pipelines and AI orchestration patterns
- Solid understanding of cloud-native architectures
- Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD
- Awareness of security, compliance and GDPR/PII considerations
- Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and enterprise clients
Mindset & Soft Skills
- Strong commercial awareness and ability to support technical pre-sales engagements
- Clear and structured communicator with executive presence
- Comfortable engaging with enterprise stakeholders
- Ability to influence and guide multidisciplinary teams
- Ownership mindset — from architecture to production
- Pragmatic thinker who balances innovation with business reality
- Builder mentality — capable of structuring without over-bureaucratising
What You Will Get
- High architectural ownership and influence
- Direct exposure to executive leadership
- Opportunity to shape and scale enterprise AI capability
- Real production impact — not experimental labs
- Long-term growth within a 25-year established technology company
Benefits
- Home office flexibility
- Private health insurance
- Up to 25 days of annual leave
- Laptop, mobile phone and data plan
- Employee referral rewards
- Gym membership or sports subscription
- Clear career growth opportunities
- Annual performance bonus
