Are you passionate about creating cutting-edge AI solutions? Do you thrive in environments where you work closely with Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and Product Managers to design, build, and scale AI-driven innovation? If so, this role is for you.
You and your job
As a Solution Architect specializing in the application of Gen AI, you will play a pivotal role in transforming AI prototypes into enterprise-grade solutions. You’ll define scalable architectures, establish best practices, and ensure the seamless integration of Generative AI models into production environments while fostering the organization’s growth in AI capabilities.

You will be part of the Tribe Data & Analytics Products and Transformation. The Tribe Data & Analytics Products and Transformation is empowering the Rabobank to maximize the value of data at scale. Every day the Squads of the Tribe work on innovative solutions to help the Rabobank reach this goal. The members of the Tribe continuously improve themselves and their Squads. We have an open culture and an urge to getting things done. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. All squads you interact with, both within the Tribe and outside, are working scrum/agile.
Practical examples

Architecting Generative AI solutions involves designing various components of machine learning projects, focusing on Generative AI models, and defining interactions between them. Collaboration with data scientists is essential to select the most suitable tools, techniques, and technologies to craft these solutions. The goal is to develop architectures that balance performance, transparency, robustness, and scalability for Generative AI applications.
Model management and lifecycle require robust model management by implementing appropriate tooling for versioning, monitoring, and maintenance throughout the model lifecycle. This includes designing release and retraining pipelines to ensure continuous model updates with minimal manual intervention, meeting organizational risk and compliance standards. Establishing feedback loops for real-time monitoring and issue resolution is also crucial, with a focus on low-effort maintenance.
Data and process optimization involves setting requirements for input data to ensure data suitability and alignment with machine learning needs, preventing training/serving skew. Collaboration with platform teams is necessary to ensure a smooth integration of AI models into existing data ecosystems.
Standardization and reusability are achieved by creating reusable components and standards to accelerate the development of new Generative AI solutions at scale. Aligning AI project designs with business processes and functions ensures seamless organizational integration.
Roadmap and strategic alignment involve working with Product Managers, IT Leads, Architects, and Data Scientists to define roadmaps for Generative AI products, ensuring alignment with long-term business objectives. Staying informed on the latest trends in AI, such as synthetic data, transfer learning, and advanced model architectures, brings innovative insights into the organization.
Operational excellence is defined by implementing CI/CD pipelines, unit testing, and statistical tests for efficient model deployment and maintenance. Setting up robust security designs for Generative AI solutions ensures compliance and involves discussing plans with engineering teams.
Advocacy and leadership include promoting the use of Generative AI within the organization, providing thought leadership, and demonstrating its potential to solve complex business challenges. Gathering and sharing knowledge about scaling AI solutions effectively across large organizations is also important.
