Lead Deployment Architect AI at Celonis · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

As a Lead Deployment Architect - AI, you are the most senior technical authority within delivery. You own the end-to-end solution architecture for your portfolio of strategic customer engagements - from data foundation through process intelligence, operational apps, automation, and the governance that keeps it all running in production. You define what good delivery looks like, set the architectural standards other teams follow, and stay hands-on enough to prove them.
The majority of your work is designing and delivering robust, scalable enterprise solutions end to end: data integration and data strategy, solution (end-user application) design, security and user access, change management, and the operational discipline that sustains value after go-live. AI-augmented delivery is woven throughout - you are fluent in directing agentic tooling and you orchestrate it to move faster and smarter - but your value is the architecture, the judgment, and customers’ trust.
You are equally comfortable leading a technical design review with Celonis Deployment Engineers and presenting a transformation roadmap to a customer’s senior leadership. You bridge pre-sales and post-sales, scoping and estimating effort before a deal closes and ensuring that what was promised can be delivered - and often shaping the promise itself. You carry significant organizational influence: you set delivery patterns, resolve escalations on complex engagements, and raise the bar for the entire practice.
As a member of our Advanced AI Practice, you are a Deployment Architect first and an AI specialist second. Every Deployment Architect brings AI into their solutions; you are the person who knows when a problem calls for a machine learning model or an AI system that acts on its own, which approach fits, and how to prove it works before a customer relies on it. On our most complex engagements you work alongside a Deployment Architect: they lead the business questions and the overall architecture, while you decide which parts of the solution run on fixed business rules, which on AI reasoning or predictions, and how each part is tested and monitored in production. Where AI is the core of the solution, you lead the architecture yourself. You belong to both our Deployment Architect Practice and a global community of Advanced AI specialists, and you help set the standards and patterns the rest of Celonis Services builds on.
The Work You’ll Do
Platform Architecture & Design
Own end-to-end platform architecture for complex enterprise deployments spanning multiple process areas, business units, systems, and geographies.
Define the technical blueprint for how the Celonis platform integrates with customer systems and data strategies - designing secure, scalable architectures optimized for long-term usage growth, high concurrency, and maintainability.
Make and defend architectural trade-off decisions - build vs. configure, custom vs. standard, phased vs. big-bang - with clear rationale tied to customer outcomes.
Own solution quality across engagements, conducting design and code reviews and ensuring delivery teams follow architectural standards through to production readiness.
Delivery Leadership & Scoping
Lead delivery end to end on your most complex engagements, setting technical direction and making the calls that remove dependencies and resolve escalations against timeline, scope, and customer expectations.
