AI Architect – US Remote
About The Position
The AI Architect will set the direction for how AI is built and governed across the organization, designing standards and guardrails to keep solutions secure, HIPAA-compliant, and focused on clinical value. The role owns enterprise AI architecture and governance for the EHR platform and provides product and engineering teams with a healthcare-grade foundation for AI development. It calls for broad architecture experience and deep Azure AI expertise, with responsibility for strategic direction while Lead AI Software Engineers handle implementation details. The architect defines reference patterns and solution blueprints for LLM applications, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), classical machine learning, and AI-enabled services. The role guides platform and tooling decisions across Azure AI, Databricks, and data orchestration, and creates reusable accelerators such as a RAG starter kit, evaluation harness, and prompt library. It also embeds HIPAA-aligned PHI/PII safeguards into the SDLC and CI/CD gates and establishes responsible AI release criteria, including bias and fairness evaluations, model cards, and red-teaming. The position runs the AI architecture review process and partners with security and compliance on risk assessments and policy updates. It advises engineering teams on prompt design, grounding strategies, and legacy-code modernization, mentors developers on Azure AI Foundry and secure use of Microsoft Copilot and GitHub Copilot, and publishes architecture decision records. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States full-time without current or future visa sponsorship.
