The Role

We are seeking an AI Applications Architect to join our technology team. This is a high-impact, hybrid role focused on solution architecture, technical strategy, and client engagement—with additional leadership responsibilities in our internal innovation group, UltraLab.

You’ll serve as a key technology voice in pre-sales and solutioning conversations, designing actionable technical architectures and delivery plans for AI-powered digital applications. You’ll guide internal teams in shaping the “how we deliver it” for client-facing proposals—owning everything from the proposed tech stack to timeline and staffing assumptions.

Once a Product Requirements Document (PRD) is locked and a project moves into execution, you’ll transition into an advisory role—supporting internal delivery leads and maintaining high-level client relationships to ensure strategic alignment, architectural fidelity, and delivery success, and refocus on new opportunities.

In parallel, you’ll play a leadership role in UltraLab, our core prototyping group—shaping technical direction, guiding day-to-day PoC and prototype builds, and identifying opportunities to turn innovative solutions into internal tools, reusable delivery modules or full-scale customizable product offerings.

What You’ll Do

Client Engagement & Solutioning

• Act as the senior technology lead in pre-sales and strategy discussions with clients
  
  
• Translate product ideas and strategies into feasible, scalable technical architectures
  
  
• Define key proposal elements: architecture, tech stack, timeline, and delivery team sizing
  
  

Architecture & Delivery Advisory

• Ensure smooth handoff from solutioning to execution through close collaboration with Delivery Managers
  
  
• Remain a senior advisor on active projects, helping maintain architectural integrity and alignment with strategic goals
  
  
• Cultivate high-level relationships with client leadership throughout the engagement
  
  

Innovation & Productization

• Play a leadership role in UltraLab, our internal prototyping team, guiding the engineering direction and hands-on technical decisions
  
  
• Identify high-potential solutions that can be reused across engagements or scaled into customizable product modules
  
  
• Serve as a strategic advisor to the leadership team on productization priorities and go-to-market readiness
  
  

Internal Collaboration

• Work with Pre-Sales, R&D, and Delivery teams to shape repeatable, high-quality tech approaches
  
  
• Contribute to internal tool development, knowledge-sharing assets, and best practices for solutioning and prototyping
  
  
• Stay ahead of emerging technologies and guide their practical integration into client solutions
  
  

Mentorship & Leadership

• Mentor senior engineers and architects across teams
  
  
• Contribute to building a strong, forward-thinking technical leadership culture
  
  

Who You Are

• A seasoned technologist with a strong background in software engineering and architecture, ideally with 10+ years of experience
  
  
• Experience in technology services or consulting, particularly in solutions delivery—not staff augmentation
  
  
• Demonstrated ability to engage with senior stakeholders and credibly represent the technology strategy
  
  
• Skilled at bridging product vision and technical execution, translating high-level strategies into concrete, achievable roadmaps
  
  
• Experience in AI and modern data/ML stacks is a plus, but not a requirement—what matters most is your ability to integrate emerging tech pragmatically into broader solutions
  
  
• Comfortable leading delivery teams while supporting business development and growth
  
  
• Strong communicator, both technically and strategically
  
  

Bonus Points

• Previous experience at a well-known, technology solutioning or technology services company, focused on creating, building and shipping digital applications for clients
  
  
• Exposure to or direct experience with AI/ML-powered platforms, applications and solutions
  
  
• Passion for solving complex business problems through technology, not just building systems for the sake of it
  
  

Advantages of joining Turing:

• Amazing work culture (Super collaborative & supportive work environment; 5 days a week)
• Awesome colleagues (Surround yourself with top talent from Meta, Google, LinkedIn etc. as well as people with deep startup experience)
• Competitive compensation
• Flexible working hours
• Full-time remote opportunity
