Job Summary
In this role, you design practical solution architectures for AI-native projects, validate assumptions through prototyping, and collaborate closely with departments to solve problems.
Your role in the team
- Is describing architecture only on slides not enough for you? You want to design where complex problems turn into concrete solutions – close to the business units, close to implementation, and with AI as a core component of modern delivery.
- Then become part of our emerging AI-native development team. As a Forward Deployed Architect (m/f/d), you will combine problem clarification, target images, architectural decisions, prototyping, and implementation with measurable results. At the Merantix AI Campus in Berlin, you will work in a creative environment and can actively utilize the facilities available there.
- Assumption of architectural responsibility for AI-native delivery projects, from problem clarification, target vision, context, and assumptions to traceable architectural decisions.
- Designing secure and flexible solution architectures where people, AI systems, agents, data, tools, and existing applications collaborate effectively.
- Development of comprehensible decision-making bases, trade-off analyses, and audience-appropriate documentation for technical teams, clients, and stakeholders.
- Validation of architectural assumptions through prototypes, technical spikes, evaluations, and early delivery results in a pragmatic, iterative manner close to implementation.
- Further development of reusable AI-native principles, patterns, and guardrails.
- You work closely with Forward Deployed Engineers (m/f/d), AI Reliability & Quality Engineers (m/f/d), Enterprise Architecture Management, and business units.
