Job Description

We're partnering with a leading organisation to recruit an experienced Solution Architect – AI to support a major legacy system replacement and broader technology modernisation program.

This is an exciting opportunity to help define the target-state architecture for a complex enterprise environment, working across cloud, on-premise and hybrid technologies. A key focus of the role will be ensuring platforms and systems are ready to support the future implementation of secure, isolated AI solutions and AI Agents.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing detailed logical and physical solution architecture and design specifications

  • Defining target-state architecture for the replacement and modernisation of legacy platforms

  • Working across cloud, on-premise and hybrid environments

  • Providing detailed architecture across infrastructure, networks, applications and security

  • Conducting independent assessments of platforms, technology stacks and proposed solutions

  • Assessing and designing environments to support AI products and AI Agents

  • Supporting the transition of AI initiatives from proof-of-concept towards production-ready solutions

  • Working closely with Business Analysts, security teams and technical stakeholders throughout delivery

  • Providing architectural guidance and oversight through implementation

About you:

  • Proven experience as a Solution Architect working across complex enterprise environments

  • Strong experience producing detailed logical and physical architecture and design documentation, rather than purely conceptual architecture

  • Broad technical experience across cloud, on-premise and hybrid environments

  • Strong understanding of infrastructure, networking, applications and security

  • Experience implementing AI Agents or agentic AI solutions, and/or modernising platforms to enable secure AI adoption

  • Experience assessing legacy systems and defining practical modernisation and target-state strategies

  • Ability to work at both a strategic architecture level and get into granular technical detail when required

  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills

Requirements:

  • Australian Citizenship (due to client security requirements)

  • Experience working within complex, secure or regulated enterprise environments will be highly regarded.

  • Experience with AI Agents, enterprise AI implementation or preparing technology environments for AI adoption will be highly regarded.

If you're an experienced Solution Architect looking to work across a major modernisation initiative while helping shape the future adoption of AI and AI Agents within a complex enterprise environment, we'd love to hear from you!
