Principal Architect - AI

About the Role Becrypt is creating a new, standalone Principal Architect - AI role to lead the organisation''s approach to artificial intelligence across the business. This is a senior technical position for someone who can look across engineering, product, IT and operations to identify where AI can genuinely improve how Becrypt builds, secures and runs its platforms - and who can then design, build and govern the systems that make that possible. This is not a team-management role. It is a hands-on, principal-level individual contributor position for someone who leads through technical depth, credibility and influence - working closely with engineering teams, technical architects and internal IT, and setting the policies, risk frameworks and compliance guardrails needed to adopt AI responsibly. What You''ll Do Strategic and cross-business Assess processes and systems across the business - engineering, product, customer-facing operations, internal IT - to identify where AI can add genuine value, streamline work, or reduce risk. Act as the go-to technical authority on AI across Becrypt, working directly with engineering teams, technical architects and internal IT rather than through a reporting chain. Develop and own AI-related policy, governance, risk assessment and compliance frameworks, balancing confidentiality, integrity, availability, usability, customer requirements, engineering effort and operational risk. Advise leadership on AI strategy, opportunity areas and risk ..... full job details .....
