Specialist Senior AI Architect - PreSales & Delivery (m/f/d) Germany, Munich Employee

Senior AI Architect - PreSales & Delivery (m/f/d)

We are Nagarro, a digital product engineering company that is scaling in a big way! We build products, services, and experiences that inspire, excite, and delight. We work at scale — across all devices and digital mediums, and our people exist everywhere in the world (18,000 experts across 39 countries, to be exact). Our work culture is dynamic and non‑hierarchical.

Job Summary

Full‑time role.

Responsibilities

• Act as the lead technical advisor in presales engagements — running discovery workshops, shaping win themes, and building the technical narrative behind proposals and RFPs.
• Design end‑to‑end AI/GenAI solution architectures — from data and model layers to integration, security, and scalability — tailored to real client environments, not generic reference decks.
• Lead technical deep‑dives, PoCs, and architecture reviews that build genuine client confidence, presenting complex AI concepts in language that resonates with both engineers and executives.
• Own solution design and technical delivery leadership on live projects — guiding engineering teams, making key architectural decisions, and staying close enough to the code to unblock hard problems yourself.
• Build and prototype AI/ML/GenAI components personally where it matters — you are expected to remain technically credible, not just strategically credible.
• Bridge client stakeholders, internal delivery teams, and Nagarro leadership — acting as the connective tissue that keeps commercial promises and technical reality aligned.
• Mentor engineers and consultants, and contribute to Nagarro's growing AI capability, accelerators, and reusable IP.

Qualifications

• Multiple years of relevant hands‑on experience in software/AI engineering, solution architecture, or technical consulting, with recent deep exposure to AI/ML and GenAI technologies.
• Proven ability to architect and ship AI solutions in production — not just pilots — spanning areas such as LLM‑based applications, RAG, ML platforms, MLOps, or intelligent automation.
• A track record of winning trust in front of clients: leading presales conversations, running workshops, and shaping solutions that clients actually buy into.
• Comfort moving fluidly between C‑level conversations and engineering stand‑ups — equally convincing discussing ROI and discussing model architecture.
• A natural connector who builds genuine relationships with clients and internal teams alike, and who treats stakeholder trust as seriously as technical correctness.
• Business‑fluent language proficiency in German and English is mandatory, given the client‑facing nature of this role in the DACH region.
• Willingness to travel to client sites across the DACH region as engagements require.

Benefits

• We are a global digital engineering leader with a builder's mindset — non‑hierarchical, entrepreneurial, and allergic to bureaucracy.
• You'll join a fast‑growing AI practice with real budget, real clients, and real appetite to experiment, backed by the stability of a company delivering technology at scale for 20+ years.
• Front‑row seat on the most exciting AI engagements in the DACH market — with the autonomy to shape how they're solved.
• A rare dual mandate: influence at the deal table and impact in the codebase, instead of choosing one.
• A flat, non‑bureaucratic culture where good ideas move fast, regardless of hierarchy.
• Deep investment in your growth — certifications, conference budgets, and a genuine community of AI practitioners to learn alongside.
• Competitive compensation, flexible working models, and the trust to manage your own time between clients and code.
