Typical tasks

Data pipeline and storage decisions made up front
Model and serving choices matched to your scale
Cost tradeoffs documented before the build starts
Design reviewed with the AI engineer before training starts
Integration points agreed with the backend developer early
Fewer late-stage rewrites from mismatched assumptions

Everything you need to run the engagement smoothly

Dedicated to your product
The architect works only on your system design, not spread across other clients' projects.
Direct communication
You and your team talk to the architect directly, with no extra layer in between.
Flexible contracts
Full time, part time, or as part of the full AI team. Scale up or down with notice.
Documented architecture
Design decisions are documented for the AI engineer, backend and frontend developer.
Timezone overlap
Working hours arranged to overlap with your team for design review sessions.
No-cost replacement
If the architect is not the right fit, we replace them at no extra cost during the engagement.

Why teams hire their AI team architect through TCB Infotech

We design our own AI systems
We make the same data, model and serving decisions on our own AI projects, so our architects are screened on real design work, not trivia.
Fast, honest shortlisting
You see 2 to 3 profiles, not a stack of resumes, and we tell you plainly if a fit is not right.
Direct access, no relay
You and your team work with the architect directly, on your tools and your product roadmap.
A team that already fits together
Add the rest of the AI team, and they already build from the architect's documented design.
No long lock-in
Scale the team up or down with notice, based on the phase your product is in.

From requirements to a working architect in about two weeks

Share requirements
Tell us the product you are building, your expected scale, and your timeline.
Shortlist
We match an architect by system design experience and send you 2 to 3 profiles within days.
Interview
You interview the shortlist directly and pick the architect who fits your product and your team.
Onboard
The architect documents the data, model and serving design and, if needed, brings on the rest of the AI team.
Scale as needed
Revisit the design as your product moves from prototype toward production traffic.

Hiring an AI team architect, answered

What is the AI Team package?

It is a pre-assembled group of four roles who build your AI product together: an AI architect, an AI engineer, a backend developer and a frontend developer. This page covers the architect, who designs the system the other three build.

What does the AI team architect actually do?

They design the data pipeline, model serving layer and integration points before a line of production code is written, then review the AI engineer's and backend developer's work against that design as the build progresses.

Can I hire just the architect without the rest of the AI team?

Yes. Each role can be hired on its own. Most teams building a new AI product take the complete four-role team, since the roles are already matched to work from the same architecture.

How is this different from hiring one of your AI engineers directly?

An AI engineer builds and trains models within an existing design. The architect decides that design in the first place: what runs where, how data flows, and how the model gets served, before the engineer starts building.

What is the engagement model?

You can hire full time, part time, or bring on the architect first to design the system before adding the rest of the AI team.

What if the architect is not the right fit?

We replace them at no extra cost during the engagement, with a handover of the architecture documentation to the new architect.
