AI Solutions Architect

About this AI Solutions Architect role at Karnataka Department of ITBT

Karnataka's IT & BT department is hiring AI Solutions Architects to design and deploy intelligent systems for the state's smart-city initiatives. As a senior AI architect in Bengaluru, you'll shape how AI transforms public services across India's tech capital—working directly with government stakeholders on high-impact projects that touch millions of lives.

What you'll do

• Design end-to-end AI solutions and cloud architecture for Karnataka's smart-city AI initiatives
• Lead system design and technical decision-making for large-scale AI deployments on cloud platforms
• Build and architect machine learning frameworks and infrastructure for government applications
• Evaluate and recommend AI/ML technologies, frameworks, and cloud services for state-level projects
• Provide technical governance and best-practice guidance for AI solution implementation across departments

Who should apply

You need a B.Tech degree and at least 8 years of experience in AI architecture, cloud infrastructure, and system design. This is a senior-level role for architects with proven expertise in designing scalable AI systems. If you've spent nearly a decade building cloud-native ML solutions and can think at the infrastructure level, you're ready.

Salary & offer in context

The role offers ₹1,60,000–₹2,20,000 per month—positioning you in the upper range for AI Solutions Architect salaries in India for senior consultants. For comparison, an AI architect with 8+ years in Bengaluru typically earns ₹1,40,000–₹2,10,000/month, so this government empanelment sits competitively at the senior end.

Path to apply

This is direct application—no exam required. Submit your proposal and profile via email to the Karnataka IT & BT department; candidates are invited for interview if shortlisted. The empanelment is for 2 years and you can apply even if based outside Bengaluru (the role is on-site). Application deadline is 5 June 2026, so act soon.
