## About the role

The Red Hat Services team is looking for an AI Architect to design and deliver strategic solutions that solve our clients’ business challenges, through technical leadership, hands-on implementation, and enablement of recommended practices. In this role, you will play a key role as a promoter of the adoption of Red Hat's AI platforms and solutions by using your technical expertise and interpersonal skills. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Lead model selection, optimization and serving decisions on Red Hat AI: vLLM, llm-d, LLM Compressor, the validated model catalog, and hardware profiles across NVIDIA, AMD and other accelerators
- Design portable inference: workloads that move between cloud APIs, on-premises clusters and sovereign environments without re-architecture
- Travel weekly, Monday-Thursday, to client locations
- Design evaluation-driven release gates in Eval Hub so a model or agent ships only when the customer's own tests say so
- Architect retrieval and context patterns (RAG, knowledge ingestion, permission-aware context) that keep data where it belongs, and know when that work is repeatable and when it is bespoke
- Lead sovereign and disconnected deployments of Red Hat AI on OpenShift, including model provenance, signing, AI bills of materials and compliance evidence
