Architecture & Solution DesignDefine reference architectures for GenAI systems: RAG, agentic orchestration, tool/function calling, multi-step reasoning workflows, memory patterns, and context strategies.Design multi-tenant and enterprise-scale GenAI platforms with clear separation of concerns: UI, orchestration, retrieval, inference, evaluation, and observability.Select model strategies: hosted LLMs, open-weight models, fine-tuning vs. prompt/RAG, latency and cost tradeoffs, and deployment patterns.2) Agentic AI Orchestration & ToolingArchitect agent systems (single/multi-agent) including: Task decomposition, planners/executors, reflection/verification loopsTool use patterns (APIs, databases, search, workflow engines)Guardrails to prevent unsafe tool actions and hallucinated commandsBuild reliable flows for "human-in-the-loop" decision points and approvals (e.G., procurement, customer comms, incident triage).3) Retrieval, Knowledge Systems & Data DesignLead design of knowledge ingestion pipelines: document parsing, chunking strategies, embeddings, metadata, lineage, freshness SLAsArchitect vector search and hybrid retrieval: semantic + keyword, reranking, filtering, ACL-aware retrievalEnsure retrieval respects access control, PII handling, data residency, and auditability.4) Production Engineering, Reliability & CostSet non-functional requirements for GenAI workloads: SLOs, latency budgets, fallback models, caching, rate limitingDesign cost controls: prompt/token optimization, model routing, batching, and usage governance.Implement resiliency patterns: circuit breakers, retries, queue-based orchestration, idempotency.5) Security, Risk & Responsible AIEstablish AI security posture: prompt injection defenses, data exfiltration controls, tool sandboxingDefine policies and controls for: sensitive data, logging, redaction, encryption, secret management, and auditingCollaborate with risk/compliance to drive: model governance, content safety, bias/quality monitoring, and, Senior Agentic & Generative AI Consultant - Full Time - Hybrid ( 3 days Office, 2 days WFH) London, United Kingdom (Hybrid) Full Time (10 - 15 Years Exp) Role Overview We are seeking a Senior Agentic & Generative AI Consultant who is a recognized thought leader and...
