Solution Architect (AWS & AI Focus)

Daily rate contract (6 month initial contract, with a strong likelihood of extension/conversion to permanent) available for a Solution Architect (AWS & AI focus) with a background in AWS, Amazon SageMaker and Amazon Bedrock. Hybrid role based in Sydney, Brisbane or Perth.

Our client is a fast-growing AI consultancy specialising in AWS-backed agentic AI solutions, delivering AI and data projects for national and international clients. The engagement is with a major global enterprise looking to add an AI-assisted intelligence layer to an existing reporting system.

Key Responsibilities

• Leading technical discovery of the current environment: data sources, integrations, existing models and constraints
• Evaluating AWS options (SageMaker for ML, Bedrock for GenAI) against current approaches, with a balanced recommendation on cost, risk, scalability and security
• Designing the target architecture: data ingestion, ML pipelines, a GenAI insights layer and integration with the existing application
• Scoping and leading the proof of concept, including success measures and build approach
• Working closely with a business analyst and UX designer to shape the design, including building rapid prototypes together to use as tangible assets for discussion

About You

• AI/ML Solution/Platform Architect with at least one relevant solution that has made it into production (ML on AWS SageMaker or a GenAI solution on Amazon Bedrock)
• Highly desirable: background in large complex environments, working across construction, mining, resources, energy or another asset-heavy industry
• Experience working with time-series data and predictive analytics
• Strong AWS data pipeline experience, with clear stakeholder communication and documentation skills
• Open to architects with around a year of production AI/ML experience on AWS, provided they have a strong relevant background before that

Rate
$1,000–$1,200/day incl. super, depending on experience. Flexibility for highly-experienced Solution Architects with direct experience in relevant areas.
