About the role

We are looking for a technology leader who is genuinely excited about turning AI into real products, real capabilities and real business value.

Someone who has gone beyond experimenting with LLMs and AI APIs — who has designed, built and shipped AI solutions into production, understands what it takes to move from prototype to scalable architecture, and knows how to make AI work in demanding environments.

As AI Architect Leader, you will define and drive the technical vision for AI across our digital banking platform, working at the intersection of AI, software architecture, product and financial services.

What you’ll be doing

You rock at:

• Design scalable architectures around LLMs, GenAI, AI agents, RAG and intelligent automation;
• Turn emerging AI capabilities into production-ready solutions, not just proofs of concept;
• Establish patterns, standards and best practices for building secure, observable and responsible AI systems;
• Lead technical decisions around model selection, orchestration, data, integration, security and cost.

You are good at:

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills;
• Curiosity, pragmatic and the able to turn ideas into production systems;
• Ability to work effectively across teams and build trust-based partnerships;
• Capable of managing multiple priorities and delivering results.

You have:

• Experience with technologies such as LLMs, GenAI, RAG, AI agents, cloud platforms and modern software architecture;
• Experience working with international markets environments;
• Fluency in English (mandatory);
• Availability to travel internationally.

Your functions:

• Define the AI architecture strategy for ebankIT;
• Help shape how AI becomes part of the next generation of digital banking experiences;
• Work closely with engineering, product and business teams to identify where AI can create genuine value;
• Mentor engineers and architects, raising the organisation’s AI engineering capabilities.

What you’ll have

At ebankIT, we encourage our employees to be bold, make decisions, and work in a collaborative way in a friendly and positive environment.

You can count on:

• Solid principles based on a fair system;
• Dynamic and open-minded people;
• A continuous concern with employee’s personal development;
• A hybrid working model;
• Flexible schedule that allows you to keep your personal commitments;
• A cozy and modern office;
• Innovative and dynamic projects;
• The opportunity to work with the latest technologies;
• Competitive rewards, always compatible with your career path;
• Happy Hours, Team Buildings, and Social events;
• Social-Responsibility Initiatives supporting different causes through the year;
• Well-being plan, including partnerships with gymnasiums and healthy food companies, sports events, healthy snacks, and thematic workshops.
