AI Solutions Architect — financial services

Hudson Vertex Labs is hiring a Senior AI Solutions Architect — financial services on the Customer engineering team (Hybrid · New York, United States). This is a hands-on role in LLM & generative AI—not a generic “AI enthusiast” post.

You will own LLM features, retrieval, agents, and evaluation end to end: problem framing, offline evaluation, safe rollout, and iteration from production signals. Success is measured with clear metrics (quality, latency, cost, or business KPIs)—not slide decks alone.

Hudson Vertex Labs partners with global banks and asset managers to stand up private LLM programs—reference architectures, security reviews, and crisp executive storytelling.

Seeking a Senior AI Solutions Architect in New York (hybrid). You will split time between customer workshops, hands-on prototypes, and internal enablement.

What you will do

• Lead discovery sessions to map data estates, compliance boundaries, and success metrics for AI pilots.
• Produce reference architectures (VPC, identity, logging, model routing) aligned to customer control frameworks.
• Build rapid prototypes (RAG, summarisation, document Q&A) that de-risk enterprise procurement.
• Partner with sales on RFP responses, security questionnaires, and executive readouts.
• Feed customer insights back into product and field engineering roadmaps.

What we look for

• 7+ years in customer-facing technical roles (SA, forward-deployed engineer, or consulting).
• Deep AWS or Azure networking and IAM experience; understanding of LLM deployment patterns.
• Excellent writing and live whiteboarding skills; calm under executive scrutiny.
• US work authorisation.

Nice to have

• Prior experience in capital markets, payments, or insurance technology.
• Formal risk or architecture certifications (e.g., TOGAF, AWS SA Pro).
