Overview
We are seeking a Senior AI / Machine Learning Solutions Architect to design and deploy cloud-based AI solutions that enable natural-language search, analytics, and predictive insights over complex public safety datasets.
This role will focus on building an AWS-hosted, GenAI-powered solution that allows authorized users to query law-enforcement data using everyday language rather than complex SQL or traditional search tools. The consultant will work closely with technical and business stakeholders to design secure, scalable, CJIS-compliant AI architectures supporting current search use cases and future predictive analytics.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and implement AI/ML solutions that enhance data discovery, decision-making, and operational efficiency
- Build a natural-language query interface enabling users to search law-enforcement datasets without SQL knowledge
- Collaborate with stakeholders to identify use cases, gather requirements, and translate them into AI-powered applications
- Extract data from on-prem Oracle and SQL Server databases and migrate to AWS cloud environments
- Clean, transform, and mask sensitive data (CJIS, PII, etc.) to meet security and compliance requirements
- Store and optimize data for AI/ML workloads, including vector databases (e.g., Pinecone)
- Implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures using AWS Bedrock
- Integrate industry-standard AI models such as Claude or AWS Titan/Nova
- Design solutions that support:
- Current search datasets (People, Identifiers, Incidents/Offenses)
- Future predictive analytics using Records Management System (RMS) data
- Deploy, validate, and optimize models for performance, scalability, and security
- Stay current with AI/ML research, tools, and cloud services to drive continuous improvement
Required Qualifications
- Senior-level experience as an AI Specialist, AI Engineer, ML Engineer, or AI Solutions Architect
- Strong hands-on experience designing and deploying AI/ML solutions in AWS
- 2–3+ years of experience with public safety systems, such as:
- CAD (Computer-Aided Dispatch)
- RMS (Records Management Systems)
- FRMS or similar law-enforcement platforms
- Deep understanding of public safety datasets and their relationships
- Experience with data ingestion, transformation, and masking for sensitive data (CJIS, PII)
- Strong programming skills in Python (R a plus)
- Experience with SQL and NoSQL databases
Preferred Technical Skills
- Machine learning frameworks: TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, Scikit-learn
- Big data & analytics: Apache Spark, Databricks
- AI/ML development tools: Jupyter Notebooks, SageMaker
- Cloud platforms:
- AWS (S3, EC2, SageMaker, Bedrock)
- Azure ML / Databricks (nice to have)
- Vector databases (Pinecone or equivalent)
- Data visualization tools (Tableau, Power BI)
- Experience with GenAI, LLMs, and RAG architectures
