Senior Artificial Intelligence Architect

Los Angeles, California, United States

Join SADA as a Senior Artificial Intelligence Architect

 

Your Mission 

As a Senior Artificial Intelligence Architect at SADA, you will work in a fast-paced, highly-skilled team developing state-of-the-art enterprise solutions using a wide variety of artificial intelligence technologies. You will work directly with customers, engineers, sales teams and partners to deliver high quality professional service engagements to SADA’s customers. SADA is a premier partner of Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and as such, your implementations will focus on enabling customers to best utilize GCP or to demonstrate its capabilities. 

You will be responsible for building cloud-native artificial intelligence solutions using Google’s Vertex AI platform and all related technologies, such as Gemini large language models, Vertex AI, LangChain, Agent Development Kit, Vector Search and more. You may also be responsible for implementing domain-specific solutions such as Vertex AI Search for Retail or Contact Center AI Platform. This is a hands-on role that will include both architecting and implementing AI solutions.

Artificial intelligence is an extremely dynamic and quick-changing discipline. Therefore, your approach for learning new technology will be as important as any prior knowledge. We are looking for a “professional tinkerer” with a passion for continuous learning and a knack for problem solving. Someone that learns fast and pivots even faster. That always says “I’ll figure it out” instead of “I don’t know.”

Your day-to-day will consist of the following activities:

  • Implementing AI–based solutions for SADA clients across all project stages, from discovery and architecture, to development, testing and launch
  • Providing subject matter expertise and assistance to SADA clients and colleagues on artificial intelligence topics
  • Collaboration with client stakeholders managing the project, including other engineers and Director-level client resources
  • Creating technical documentation and leading solution design discussions
  • Assisting with technical pre-sales discussions and the creation of statements of work 

Expectations

Customer-Facing - Daily interactions with customers, including standups or sales meetings; at other times, weekly/bi-weekly as for sprint planning, reviews/retrospectives, or demos. These interactions will be with roles ranging from engineers to key executive stakeholders.

Travel - Up to 35% travel to customer sites, conferences, and other related events.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

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.
