Solvd Solution Architect role focused on designing and owning the technical architecture of an AWS-native retrieval platform. Responsible for producing approved architecture, security design, API contracts, and leading technical risk management.
Responsibilities
Produce the target architecture for Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases with OpenSearch Serverless as the vector store, S3 as the landing zone, and the retrieval API on API Gateway and Lambda — and get it approved by client IT and Security by end of week 2.
Define the security design: IAM roles and least privilege for every pipeline and API component, encryption at rest and in transit, VPC and endpoint posture, secrets handling for external credentials, and an entitlement-aware permission model for retrieval.
Own the retrieval API contract and Integration Blueprint the Agent Assist provider builds against — request and response schema, versioning policy, authentication, rate limits, error semantics, and citation payload.
Decide and document the chunking, embedding model, hybrid search, and metadata filtering strategy including the cost model for OpenSearch Serverless minimum capacity, embedding on ingest, and re-embedding on model change.
Run the end-of-Phase-1 re-baselining checkpoint from the technical side — validate inventoried content volumes against the design and flag any change control triggers.
Cross-review the Knowledge Management Lead’s taxonomy and metadata model to ensure what stewards tag is what the index can filter on.
Author the operations design — CloudWatch metrics and alarms for connector sync health, ingestion failures, API latency, error rate, OpenSearch capacity, and retrieval quality regressions; review every runbook before handover.
Lead the transition readiness review in weeks 9–10 and sign the readiness checklist jointly with the client.
