AI/ML architects design how an organisation builds, deploys and governs models across many teams — platform choices, data flow, security, cost and compliance. Reported demand for this title has grown sharply as Indian enterprises move from isolated AI pilots to organisation-wide adoption. It is emphatically a senior role: employers look for eight or more years of experience, prior delivery of production ML systems, and the ability to hold their own with both engineering and business leadership. No course substitutes for that history.
