Role Overview:
The AI Architect, Presales will shape how global enterprises apply AI to customer experience, designing architectures that turn advanced capabilities into reliable, scalable business outcomes. At Genesys, you will guide the technical direction of strategic AI opportunities, helping customers connect Genesys Cloud AI with enterprise data, workflows, knowledge, and broader cloud ecosystems.

Operating as a presales AI specialist, you will lead solution architecture across self-service, agent assistance, journey management, and back-office automation. Working across LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), deterministic workflows, tools, orchestration, enterprise integrations, and agentic AI, you will guide critical decisions involving accuracy, latency, scalability, cost, governance, security, and business risk.

You will partner directly with sales and account teams, customers, Professional Services, Product Management, and Engineering to move complex AI opportunities from technical discovery through validation and production pilots. You will influence CIO and CTO stakeholders, connect architecture decisions to enterprise transformation priorities, and help customers create more relevant interactions, improve operational efficiency, and confidently adopt Genesys Cloud AI.

Your impact will extend beyond individual customer engagements as you help expand AI expertise across the field and bring customer insight into broader product and go-to-market direction. The role provides exposure to strategic enterprise initiatives, platform-level decisions, and emerging AI capabilities shaping the future of customer experience.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect production-ready AI systems for customer experience use cases that combine LLMs, deterministic workflows, tools, orchestration layers, human handoffs, fallback strategies, and failure handling
• Design scalable RAG and enterprise knowledge architectures, including strategies for content structuring, chunking, embedding, ranking, and trusted knowledge integration, to improve response accuracy, relevance, and freshness while balancing latency, performance, security, and governance requirements
• Establish AI evaluation and observability frameworks that connect accuracy, retrieval quality, tool-call performance, containment, customer satisfaction, safety, drift, cost, and other technical measures to customer and business outcomes
• Engineer contextual AI experiences that use real-time customer data, interaction history, conversation state, and external signals to deliver coherent and personalized experiences across channels and touchpoints
• Optimize enterprise AI architectures for scalability, voice and digital latency, throughput, reliability, and cost through informed decisions about model selection, caching, context management, and architecture patterns
• Drive strategic presales engagements through technical discovery, solution architecture, product demonstrations, sandbox and trial engagements, AI integration guidance, and value assessments that advance enterprise opportunities
• Develop and validate AI prototypes through production pilot readiness, partnering with account teams and Professional Services to prove use cases and integrations, validate latency and success criteria, harden architectures, align KPIs, and confirm business outcomes
• Demonstrate the value of Genesys Cloud AI by connecting platform capabilities, architecture patterns, integrations, and emerging interoperability approaches, including Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agent-to-agent (A2A), to customer requirements and measurable business outcomes
• Scale field capability by developing reusable technical assets, workshops, coaching, and enablement for Solution Consultants, partners, and account teams
• Influence AI product and go-to-market direction by translating customer requirements, implementation insights, and field feedback into actionable guidance for Product Management and Engineering

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of relevant experience designing and architecting enterprise AI solutions, with hands-on experience using the appropriate combination of traditional machine learning, NLU and NLP, retrieval-based systems, LLMs, orchestration patterns, tool use, and agentic AI approaches
• Demonstrated architectural judgment and ability to make and defend tradeoffs across model selection, latency, cost, explainability, governance, multilingual requirements, security, scalability, and business risk
• Deep expertise integrating AI solutions with enterprise platforms, knowledge sources, RESTful APIs, event-driven architectures, identity systems, and broader cloud ecosystems
• Strong background designing real-time enterprise solutions that account for voice and digital latency, throughput, secure data access, reliability, fallback paths, failure handling, and system scalability
• Demonstrated expertise defining AI evaluation, governance, and observability strategies spanning offline and online testing, retrieval quality, tool-call accuracy, safety, drift, auditability, and cost control
• Practical experience with prompt design, context management, RAG, and AI workflow optimization as components of broader production-ready AI architectures
• Proven ability to create and deliver compelling technical demonstrations, prototypes, and presentations that connect complex architecture decisions to customer and business value
• Demonstrated success partnering with sales teams on technical discovery and AI-focused solution design, with strong business judgment in identifying opportunities to improve customer outcomes, operational efficiency, and enterprise processes
• Strong executive communication, storytelling, and presence, with demonstrated ability to influence CIO, CTO, and senior technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong understanding of Genesys Cloud and Genesys AI capabilities
• Experience designing AI solutions for customer experience orchestration, contact centers, self-service, agent assistance, journey management, or back-office automation
• Experience creating reusable technical assets and enablement that scale AI expertise across solution consulting, partner, sales engineering, or related field organizations
• Experience partnering with Product Management and Engineering to translate customer and field insights into product or platform improvements
