About this role

This role sits within the Architecture Review Board supporting Rakuten Mobile’s cloud-native network.

The architect will build LLM and RAG pipelines, assess open-source and proprietary models against telecom performance, safety, and latency measures, and review AI/ML infrastructure for efficiency. The work also covers vendor tool integration, architectural guardrails, monitoring, data governance, and secure, low-latency integration of AI services. Named technologies include Python, cloud platforms, Kubernetes, vector databases, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and generative AI.

Applicants need a bachelor’s degree in a relevant computer science, AI, machine learning, data science, or telecommunications field, at least seven years of industry experience, and at least three years designing and architecting AI/ML software. Applicants also need hands-on generative AI and model design experience, strong LLM/SLM and RAG expertise, and an understanding of AI governance, security, and data privacy.
