Summary:
As a Large Language Model Architect, you will engage in the innovative design and development of advanced language models that are capable of understanding and generating human-like text. Your typical day will involve collaborating with cross-functional teams to define project requirements, conducting research to enhance model performance, and iterating on designs based on feedback and testing results. You will also be responsible for analyzing large datasets to inform model training and optimization, ensuring that the models meet the highest standards of accuracy and efficiency. Your role will be pivotal in pushing the boundaries of natural language processing and contributing to groundbreaking advancements in the field.
We're hiring a Technical Architect to own the end-to-end architecture of an enterprise agentic AI platform being built from scratch at Accenture.

Roles & Responsibilities:
- Architect large language models that can process and generate natural language.
- Design neural network parameters, trained on large quantities of unlabeled text data.
- Collaborate with data scientists and engineers to integrate models into applications.
- Conduct performance evaluations and optimize models based on testing results.
- Stay updated with the latest advancements in natural language processing and machine learning.
- Mentor junior professionals in best practices for model development and deployment.
-Lead complex, multi-workstream AI transformation programs from initiation through deployment and scaling
-Coordinate cross-functional teams including engineers, architects, product managers, and business stakeholders to drive delivery
-Establish and manage program governance, risk management, and delivery frameworks tailored to AI-native ways of working
-Navigate and guide AI-native development practices where specifications emerge from building, not upfront documentation
-Maintain technical fluency to engage credibly with complex software engineering challenges including distributed systems, agentic workflows, semantic technologies, and platform architectures
-Assess and communicate technical risks specific to AI systems (model drift, hallucinations, data quality, performance at scale)
-Drive stakeholder alignment across senior leadership, ensuring clarity on objectives, progress, risks, and value realization
-Navigate organizational complexity and remove blockers to maintain program momentum and team velocity
-Define and track delivery metrics, KPIs, and business outcomes to demonstrate transformation impact
-Champion agile/lean delivery practices and continuous improvement across transformation teams, adapting traditional methodologies for AI-native contexts
-Manage program budgets, resource allocation, and vendor relationships for AI initiatives Partner with architects to ensure delivery approaches support platform engineering principles and reusability across initiatives
-This is a senior individual contributor role — no direct reports, full technical authority. You'll own the architecture across data ingestion, enterprise knowledge graph, agent runtime, orchestration, governance, and platform UI. You'll define the technical interfaces between the platform and the business process teams that run agents on top of it.
-We're looking for someone with 10–15 years in software engineering, hands-on experience with production agentic AI systems, and deep expertise in knowledge representation — knowledge graphs, ontologies, entity resolution, semantic modelling. You've built a knowledge graph that agents actually query in production, not a pilot. You're equally comfortable with LLMs, RAG, vector databases, and streaming infrastructure.

Professional & Technical Skills:
- Must To Have Skills: Proficiency in Large Language Models (LLMs).
- Experience with natural language processing frameworks and libraries.
- Strong understanding of neural network architectures and training methodologies.
