About The Position

Genesis10 is seeking an Application Architect for a hybrid position with a Global Financial Institution located in Chandler, AZ. This is a 12+ month contract opportunity. This role is responsible for leading the design, governance, and continuous improvement of the data and knowledge foundations that support AI and agentic capabilities across Network Services. The ideal candidate will work across both structured and unstructured data sources to ensure information is defined, organized, governed, and made available in a manner suitable for trusted AI consumption. This individual partners closely with product and service subject matter experts to understand network technologies, operational workflows, and domain context so that high-quality data and knowledge can be translated into reusable AI-ready assets.

Requirements

Strong experience engineering and governing both structured and unstructured data used for analytics, automation, search, or AI-enabled solutions
Advanced understanding of data modeling, transformation, storage, indexing, retrieval, and metadata management patterns
Demonstrated ability to define enterprise-ready standards for how data, documents, knowledge artifacts, metadata, and operational context should be structured and prepared for AI consumption
Experience establishing and improving data quality, metadata quality, and knowledge quality controls
Strong knowledge of preventative and detective controls used to identify, prevent, and remediate issues related to data and knowledge management practices
Experience working with knowledge sources such as policies, standards, configurations, telemetry, runbooks, architecture artifacts, and operational documentation
Ability to work closely with subject matter experts to interpret operational knowledge and translate it into reusable, governed data and knowledge assets
Strong working understanding of network technologies, infrastructure concepts, and service models
Experience defining data ownership, stewardship, lineage, freshness, governance, and usage expectations in a regulated enterprise environment
Familiarity with AI-oriented data and knowledge preparation concepts, including grounding, retrieval-readiness, context structuring, and metadata enrichment
Ability to design scalable approaches for storing, governing, indexing, validating, and retrieving contextual assets
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including the ability to identify upstream causes of context quality issues
Experience leading or influencing cross-functional work across engineering, architecture, operations, and governance stakeholders
Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to document standards, controls, and definitions for technical and non-technical audiences
Experience working in a fast-paced and complex environment with evolving priorities

Responsibilities

Lead the design and improvement of data and knowledge assets that support AI and agentic use-cases across Network Services, including both structured and unstructured sources
Define and maintain standards for how documentation, configurations, telemetry, metadata, policies, standards, and operational knowledge should be organized, governed, and prepared for AI consumption
Partner with product and service subject matter experts to understand network technologies, operational context, and domain-specific knowledge required to improve model grounding and decision quality
Design and guide scalable methods for storing, governing, indexing, validating, and retrieving context assets needed for AI-enabled workflows and solutions
Establish and evolve preventative and detective controls that identify and reduce data quality, metadata quality, knowledge quality, lineage, and freshness issues before they affect downstream AI use
Lead remediation efforts for material data and knowledge quality issues by identifying upstream root causes, defining corrective actions, and improving reliability of source processes and assets
Define expectations for ownership, stewardship, lineage, freshness, governance, and control accountability across relevant data and knowledge domains
Build or guide the development of pipelines, transformations, validation routines, metadata structures, and supporting services that improve the quality and accessibility of AI-relevant context assets
Create and improve reusable templates, patterns, and guidance for documentation, knowledge artifacts, metadata practices, and context management standards
Work across engineering, architecture, operations, and governance teams to ensure data and knowledge practices align with enterprise controls, delivery needs, and approved standards
Monitor and communicate the health, readiness, and quality of AI-relevant data and knowledge assets, including control gaps, remediation priorities, and material risks to trusted model consumption
Mentor less senior engineers and contributors on data engineering, knowledge engineering, control design, and context management practices
Contribute to continuous improvement of data and knowledge management practices that strengthen trust, reuse, traceability, and operational supportability of AI context across the organization
Document standards, definitions, controls, transformations, and usage considerations so that downstream teams can reliably consume, govern, and support resulting data and knowledge assets
