Security AI Architect-NLP

Title: NLP Architect (Security Architect) Location: Houston, TX (Hybrid) (1 week onsite every month. Looking for Local to TX or Nearby state candidates) Role Type: 12 Month Contract Position Overview We are launching a critical initiative to design, scale, and safeguard our next-generation, LLM-powered customer experience (CX) ecosystem. We are seeking a high-caliber Principal AI & Security Architect to pioneer the deployment of production-grade conversational AI, advanced multi-agent workflows, and secure AI governance frameworks. This role sits at the unique intersection of cutting-edge Generative AI development and enterprise-grade cybersecurity orchestration. In this strategic, hands-on role, you will dictate the future architectural roadmap of our global contact center platforms—fusing GraphRAG systems, vector intelligence networks, and advanced threat detection paradigms to deliver hyper-personalized, context-aware, and highly trusted customer interactions. Core Qualifications Required 12+ years of progressive expertise in Enterprise AI Architecture, NLP, Distributed Computing, or complex ML Systems. 5+ years of dedicated, hands-on experience architecting production-level Generative AI and LLM platforms. Mandatory Core Stack & Tooling: Hand-on proficiency with Weaviate, Lakera, Orca Security, OWASP for LLMs, YARA, and MITRE Telecommunication&CK. Advanced Architecture Mastery: Proven execution of GraphRAG frameworks (beyond baseline RAG), Multi-Agent orchestration, RLHF alignment/tuning paradigms, and distributed training/inference. Programming & Core Infrastructure: Elite coding skills in Python, Scala, or Java. Framework Ecosystem: Deep familiarity with PyTorch, TensorFlow, LangChain, Hugging Face Transformers, or equivalent AI middleware. Strong background building and scaling production-grade AI applications within distributed cloud environments. Education & Target Assets Preferred: Master's degree or Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Cybersecurity, or an equivalent technical field. Highly valued: Verified credentials or specialized project portfolios highlighting vector database scaling, prompt security firewalls, and LLM penetration testing.
