What this job asks for AI summary
A customer-facing technical role at an AI platform startup, focused on helping enterprise clients design and deploy explainable AI systems. Day-to-day work spans the full customer lifecycle — from pre-sales discovery and proof-of-concept through to production rollout and ongoing integration support — involving hands-on work with APIs, SDKs, data pipelines, RAG workflows, and cloud infrastructure. Suits someone with a background in solutions architecture or sales engineering who has direct experience with ML/AI systems in production.

Why we read it this way (7)
No work location or city is mentioned in the posting; CBSA and state are left blank. The role may be remote-friendly given the startup context and lack of office mention, but the JD does not explicitly state remote — remote is set to false.
The title 'Solutions Architect' carries no seniority level word, so the title states no level. The 4+ years requirement and scope (customer-facing, cross-functional, pre-sales through production) map most naturally to a Mid-level band; the role lacks the org-wide technical authority or multi-team scope that would push it to Senior.
Cloud platform requirement is stated as 'AWS/GCP/Azure' — these are listed as interchangeable options for the same requirement, so AWS is the primary with GCP and Azure as alternatives.
Programming language requirement is 'Python, Go, or Node.js preferred' — treated as a single interchangeable requirement with Python as primary and Go/Node.js as alternatives.
LLMs and RAG appear in the required section ('ideally including LLMs or RAG') but are qualified with 'ideally', making them preferred rather than hard gates.
Bonus Points items (LLMOps, prompt engineering, hybrid retrieval, observability, data governance, compliance) are explicitly under a secondary 'Bonus Points For' heading and are marked preferred.
SOC 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other) is used for Solutions Architect as the role is primarily pre-sales/technical advisory rather than pure software development; 15-1252 is noted as a plausible runner-up given the hands-on technical and architectural work described.
