In this role, you will:

  • Design end-to-end AI solution architectures for client engagements, from problem discovery through production deployment.

  • Architect data pipelines and integration patterns that connect AI capabilities to existing client systems and data sources.
  • Work with tool-layer integration standards, including Model Context Protocol (MCP), to connect agents with enterprise systems.
  • Develop reusable components, skills, templates, and accelerators that can scale across multiple engagements.
  • Collaborate with project leads, consultants, and subject matter experts to translate business requirements into technical specifications and solution designs.
  • Support internal product development across MGT's AI tool suite.

  • Strong technical problem-solving ability and a track record of building practical solutions that work in real operating environments.
  • Comfort working at the intersection of consulting and building, including the ability to sit with a client, understand an operational challenge, and translate it into a working AI architecture.
  • Ability to learn new technical capabilities, platforms, frameworks, and deployment patterns quickly.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with consultants, clients, executive leadership, and technical teams.
  • Ability to independently scope, architect, and deliver technical solutions with minimal oversight.
  • A builder mentality, with a bias toward figuring things out, shipping solutions, and iterating based on feedback.
  • Comfort with concepts such as RAG pipelines, agentic workflows, prompt engineering, cloud deployment, and AI solution architecture.


EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Three (3) to five (5) years of professional experience; prior AI experience is not required if the candidate demonstrates strong technical problem-solving ability and a successful track record of building solutions.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience required.
  • Preferred experience in consulting, professional services, or client-facing technical delivery.
  • Preferred background in data architecture, ETL/ELT pipelines, or analytics platforms.
  • Preferred programming experience in Python or similar languages.
  • Preferred experience working with cloud-based AI services on any major platform.
  • Remote employees are expected to travel periodically to an MGT office or client location based on business needs.


WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:

  • Within 30 days, you understand MGT's current AI tool suite, architecture patterns, and active client engagements, and you have shipped something.
  • Within 90 days, you are independently architecting solutions for client projects and contributing to internal product development.
  • Within six (6) months, you are leading technical delivery on engagements, mentoring team members on AI solution patterns, and shaping MGT's approach to new AI use cases.
