Be at the Forefront of the Agentic AI Revolution
At Skan AI, we are pioneering the context engine for human and agentic execution, bringing context from enterprise operators, systems, and processes to power how the world's largest organizations execute their most complex, mission-critical work.
Why Skan AI
We're in hyper-growth mode at exactly the right moment in history. As enterprises race to adopt agentic AI, we're uniquely positioned to deliver the clear signal they desperately need: a platform that trains and grounds AI Agents in trillions of real execution signals, enabling reliable, compliant automation of their most complex processes.
Backed by Dell Technologies Capital and other leading investors, we're the only company that can bridge the gap between AI's promise and enterprise reality, making us perfectly positioned to define the agentic era for modern enterprises.
Our diverse, collaborative team of 250+ innovators is solving category-defining challenges at the intersection of AI, process intelligence, and enterprise work. Diverse perspectives fuel breakthrough thinking, cross-functional collaboration is the norm, and our work directly transforms how Fortune 500 companies operate. We are shaping the future of work itself.
About the Role
We're seeking a Senior AI Architect to design enterprise-scale AI/ML platforms that bridge business needs with production reality. You'll define how models are deployed, monitored, and scaled—focusing on architecture, reliability, and operationalization rather than model development itself.
This role sits at the intersection of AI strategy, platform engineering, and technical leadership—ensuring AI capabilities scale efficiently for the products.
Key Responsibilities
1- AI Platform Architecture & Design
Design end-to-end AI platform covering data pipelines, feature engineering, model training, deployment, serving, and monitoring
Define reference architectures for key use cases: real-time inference, batch predictions, recommendation systems, NLP/CV pipelines
Make technology stack decisions balancing model accuracy, latency, cost, and maintainability
Design cloud-native, scalable architectures using Kubernetes, microservices, and event-driven patterns
2- Production ML & Model Serving
Architect high-throughput, low-latency model serving infrastructure with HA requirements
Establish deployment patterns: A/B testing, canary releases, shadow deployments, rollback strategies
Guide model optimization: quantization, pruning, distillation, ONNX/TensorRT compilation
Design comprehensive model validation frameworks with offline/online metrics and quality gates
3- MLOps & Platform Engineering
Build end-to-end MLOps: automated pipelines, model versioning, artifact management, CI/CD
Design model registries with metadata management, promotion workflows (dev → staging → prod)
Architect feature stores ensuring consistency between training/serving and low-latency access
Establish standards for reproducibility: environment management, data versioning, experiment tracking
4- Observability & Production Support
Design ML observability: track latency, throughput, prediction distribution, feature/output drift
Implement automated alerting for accuracy drops, latency spikes, data quality issues
Build stakeholder dashboards showing model performance, system health, and business impact
5- Technical Leadership & Strategy
Conduct design reviews, provide architectural guidance, make final technical decisions
Mentor data scientists and engineers on production best practices and system design
Design and Code Review AL/ML Model and Algorithm code
Define platform standards: coding practices, documentation, architectural decision records
Evaluate emerging technologies (LLMs, RAG, multimodal models) and assess organizational fit
Partner with product, engineering, and compliance teams on AI governance and strategy
