At Braeburn, we challenge the status quo and champion transformation of the management of opioid use disorder (OUD) by partnering with the community to create a world where every person with OUD gets the best possible care and opportunity to reach their full potential.

Position Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled AI Architect to lead the enterprise-wide design and implementation of cutting-edge AI and orchestrated multi-step workflows. This role is responsible for translating business challenges into robust, scalable, and secure AI architectures. This individual will need to collaborate with cross-functional teams, including functional stakeholders and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), to deliver end-to-end AI systems from conception to deployment and lifecycle management.

This role is a blend of strategy and hands-on prototyping and architectural ownership (not day to day engineering), requiring expertise in machine learning (ML), data architecture, and cloud technologies. The AI Architect is responsible for developing compliant AI platforms that solve business problems and drive innovation.

Specific Duties:

  • Architecture & Roadmap: Own the reference architectures for machine learning and Generative AI, define build-versus-buy, and publish a 12–18-month AI platform roadmap aligned to business priorities.
  • Platform & Machine Learning Operations/Large Language Model Operations: Establish core services—data pipelines, feature store/model registry, prompt/model Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery, evaluation harnesses, observability (quality, safety, latency, cost), and automated rollback.
  • Solution Design: Design end-to-end solutions that combine predictive models, large language models, and integrations with enterprise applications and data sources; ensure patterns for grounding, retrieval, and guardrails.
  • Governance & Responsible AI: Stand up model risk and ethics guardrails; define evaluation metrics (factuality, hallucination rate, toxicity, bias), documentation, approvals, and live monitoring for drift.
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: Architect for Amazon Web Services, Azure, and/or Google Cloud Platform and/or on-premise, with secure networking, secrets management, and cost controls (Financial Operations).
  • Integration: Partner with enterprise/platform teams to integrate AI into workflows, Application Programming Interfaces, and User Interfaces; ensure identity, authorization, auditability, and reliability Service Level Agreements.
  • Technical Leadership: Provide architectural governance, conduct design reviews, train users, and lead vendor/tool evaluations.
  • Innovation & Research: Track and selectively adopt advances in large language models, agents/orchestrations, vector databases, and evaluation methods; run lightweight proofs that de-risk delivery.

Skills:

  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python and SQL.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to diverse audiences and align executives, SMEs, with clear trade-offs.
  • Problem-Solving skills including analyzing, identifying root causes, and devising creative, effective solutions.
  • Adaptability and learning agility.
  • Strong project management skills: able to complete projects in a timely manner, plan and prioritize tasks while keeping leadership and stakeholders updated regularly on status.

Education/Experience:

Required

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related STEM field.
  • 8+ years in solution/data/software architecture with 3+ years leading ML/GenAI systems to production.
  • Strong Python and SQL; deep familiarity with at least one major cloud’s AI/ML stack (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Hands-on experience designing production ML/GenAI systems (RAG, evaluation, monitoring, and incident/rollback).
  • Solid grasp of data architecture (batch/stream), CI/CD, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and IaC.
  • Proven track record implementing security, privacy, and compliance controls (HIPAA; validation/audit in regulated settings).

Desirable

  • Life-sciences experience (clinical, PV, commercial, or RWE/RWD), including validation and Part 11 controls.
  • Experience with model/experiment tooling (MLflow, Kubeflow, Weights & Biases), vector stores (pgvector, Pinecone, Weaviate), and orchestration (LangChain, LlamaIndex, Airflow).
  • Big data/streaming (Spark, Kafka, Databricks).
  • GPU/accelerator awareness for training/inference (e.g. CUDA basics, scheduling), or distributed compute (Ray).
  • Relevant cloud certifications (AWS Solutions Architect, Azure AI Engineer, GCP Professional ML Engineer).

What success looks like (6–12 months)

  • Published and adopted AI reference architecture and security/validation patterns.
  • One or more high-impact GenAI/ML use cases live in production with measurable outcomes (e.g., cycle-time reduction, accuracy/factuality improvements, cost targets).
  • Operational LLMOps/MLOps: model/prompt registry, automated evaluations, monitoring dashboards, and on-call processes.
  • Documented governance aligned to HIPAA/GxP/Part 11, with audit-ready artifacts and change control.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
