What You'll Do As our AI/Data Architect , you’ll be a senior technical leader helping shape the next generation of AI-enabled operations at QISG. You’ll move between strategy and execution — one day working with an executive to identify an opportunity, the next pair-programming a prototype, and later architecting a scalable solution that becomes part of how the organization operates. You’ll have the autonomy to experiment, the technical challenges to stay engaged, and the opportunity to see your work create measurable business impact.
