Terra Quantum

We are hiring an AI Solutions Architect to design and implement machine learning and LLM solutions for customer projects. The role requires strong skills in model development, deployment, and evaluation. You will define solution architectures, guide implementation, and ensure systems perform reliably in production. You will support integration into customer environments across cloud platforms, with GCP preferred but not required.
This position combines technical leadership with customer engagement. You will act as the primary technical contact, gather requirements, run workshops, and present solutions to technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will coordinate with engineering, research, and business teams to ensure clear specifications and successful delivery.
Privacy and data governance are central. You will define standards with internal stakeholders and ensure compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other customer-specific regulations. You will apply ethical principles in AI design, address bias and fairness concerns, and communicate these standards clearly to customers.
The role is remote with some travel for customer meetings and project delivery.

Desired

• Experience in fintech or financial product domains.
• Track record of publications, patents, or public speaking in AI/ML.
• Familiarity with AI fairness, bias mitigation, and explainability frameworks.
• Experience guiding cross-functional teams in technical delivery.
• Experience working with a globally distributed team of diverse academic, business, and scientific backgrounds

Responsibilities
Overall

• Design, integrate, and guide deployment of LLM and machine learning solutions in customer environments, ensuring scalability and production readiness.
• Serve as the primary technical contact for customer projects, including pre-sales guidance, workshops, presentations, and long-term relationship support.
• Act as a liaison across customers, business development, engineering, research, and compliance teams to align requirements with technical delivery.
• Define and enforce standards for privacy, data governance, and ethical AI practices, ensuring compliance with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
• Communicate technical insights clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Guide and mentor researchers and engineers while contributing as an individual contributor.
• Manage multiple projects in parallel to ensure quality, scalability, and customer satisfaction.
• Travel as required for customer meetings and project delivery.

Day-to-day

• Engage in customer meetings to gather requirements, provide technical insights, and ensure alignment with project goals.
• Conduct workshops, demos, and briefings for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Translate customer requirements into clear specifications, deliverables, and project documentation.
• Oversee production systems by monitoring model performance and addressing issues such as drift, bias, and fairness.
• Review customer data and conduct privacy and security assessments to ensure compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and ethical AI standards.
• Coordinate with project managers to track schedules, deliverables, and outcomes.
  Support sales and business development teams with technical proposals, feasibility assessments, and pre-sales discussions.

Company description
Quantum technologies have the potential to solve some of the world's biggest challenges. There have been great advances in all areas of quantum technologies, and new fields of application are opened up every day. Hybrid computer systems that combine classic high-performance computing with quantum computers are already being used to develop solutions in sectors such as logistics, healthcare, finance, energy, automotive and aerospace. Quantum mechanical predictions are also used to obtain unprecedented precision in measurements, generate unbreakable codes, and form the basis of impenetrable communication networks. All these developments are happening right now, and they are happening at Terra Quantum.
At Terra Quantum we are building the world's leading Quantum Technology company. We offer customers world-class quantum technology expertise organized as "quantum-as-a-service": hybrid quantum algorithms, quantum compute and quantum enabled security solutions. Through the proprietary quantum cloud, customers have access to a unique technology platform which provides a toolset to solve real-world challenges in the realms of machine learning, optimization and simulation, today. In 2022, the company closed its Series A financing round with a $75m fundraise.
Quantum physics has, in some respects, parallels to the machine language of our computers-the zeros and ones into which our keyboard or touchscreen instructions are translated for execution in the computer-only on a larger scale: it is the machine language of the universe. The second quantum revolution is based on the control of individual quantum systems, such as individual atoms. We use quantum computers to solve currently unsolvable problems, simulate molecules and their interactions, find drugs for diseases that are not yet curable, find new materials, or make artificial intelligence stronger. Quantum is now.
Terra Quantum is a future-focused quantum services and technology company working on making the second quantum revolution a reality. Terra Quantum's activities span all areas, markets, and industries globally.

• Our purpose is to pioneer quantum technologies to change the world for good,
• Our vision is to lead the quantum revolution and be the trailblazer in technology solutions, shaping a better future for humankind to thrive in, and
• Our mission is to unleash the power of quantum tech to deliver meaningful solutions today

Terra Quantum is an equal opportunities employer, committed to diversity, inclusion and employee well-being.
