Senior Consulting Architect for AI-native Platform

Job ID: 40176799

Budget: $50 – $0 AUD

Here’s a tightened rewrite that makes **AI-first thinking** explicit and non-negotiable, in a tone that fits LinkedIn without fluff:

---

**Senior Consulting Architect — AI-Native Systems (AI-First)**

We’re engaging a **senior consulting architect** to help design, harden, and future-proof an **AI-native platform** built with AI at the centre of every decision.

This is **not staff augmentation**. It’s a senior consulting role with real accountability for outcomes. The brief is to make the system **correct, secure, scalable, and resilient**, while fully embracing AI as a core capability—not a bolt-on.

**What you’ll do**

* Lead and refine the core architecture of an AI-native system
* Challenge and stress-test assumptions around scale, failure modes, security, and AI behaviour
* Design systems that are test-driven, observable, and resilient by default
* Embed AI deeply into production workflows (LLMs, RAG, orchestration, evaluation, guardrails)
* Ensure AI systems behave predictably, safely, and measurably in real-world use
* Establish and enforce DevOps and SecOps best practice across the full stack
* Identify architectural and AI-specific risk early and eliminate it decisively

**What you bring**

* Expert-level software architecture experience
* A genuinely **AI-first mindset**, comfortable applying AI across engineering, operations, and workflows
* Strong hands-on capability with **Rust, Flutter, and Supabase/Postgres**
* Real production experience with **LLM-based systems**, including RAG and orchestration
* Proven DevOps & SecOps depth (CI/CD, infrastructure automation, security posture)
* Test-driven thinking applied at the **system and AI-behaviour level**
* Comfortable operating as a senior consultant with ownership of outcomes, not just advice

**Who this suits**

This role is aimed at **Principal / Staff-plus engineers or senior consultants** who thrive in AI-native environments—people who actively lean into AI, challenge traditional approaches, and turn complex systems into robust, production-grade platforms.

If you believe AI should be woven into every layer of a modern system—and know how to do that responsibly—this role will suit you.
