Its portfolio spans industries such as Health, Tax & Accounting, Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), and Legal & Regulatory. Innovation, digital transformation, and responsible business practices are core to Wolters Kluwer's long-term strategy. Twinfield , part of Wolters Kluwer, is a cloud‑based accounting software solution designed for businesses and accounting professionals. It streamlines financial administration by automating bookkeeping, invoicing, cash flow management, and reporting in real time. Twinfield is known for its strong compliance capabilities, security, and integration options, making it well suited for SMEs, international organizations, and accounting firms. You will be part of the 'Tech B.V.' team, which focuses on development, service and delivery of technology solutions that support Twinfield's digital products and services. Why this role exists We're building AI-powered capabilities directly into customer-delivered software - not demos, not labs. This role owns the architecture that turns our data estate into an AI-ready product platform and makes AI features reliable, governable, secure, and scalable in production. You'll lead the modernization of our product data estate (schemas, pipelines, contracts, governance, and access patterns) so we can ship AI/ML and GenAI capabilities quickly and safely. What you'll own (outcomes) A clear AI + Data reference architecture that product teams can execute without heroics: from ingestion → curation → feature/embedding layers → serving → monitoring. A modernized data estate that supports rapid iteration: schema evolution , lineage, quality gates, and scalable access patterns (batch + real-time/event-driven where needed). AI capabilities that are production-grade : measurable quality, observable, performant, fully automated deployments, governance, and cost-optimized. What you'll do (Responsibilities) 1) Architect AI-enabled product capabilities (customer-facing) Translate business goals and product requirements into end-to-end architecture for AI features (e.g. predictive ML, recommendations, GenAI, agentic workflows). Define integration patterns between product services, data systems, and AI components (APIs, including MCP/A2A, ARG, events, model/agent serving, evaluation harnesses). Evaluate NFR tradeoffs and ensure delivery adherence (e.g. latency, cost, security, resiliency, and maintainability). 2) Modernize the data estate to be AI-ready Lead modernization of legacy data estates into a governed, scalable architecture (lakehouse/data mesh patterns, curated layers, data products, and contracts). Drive improvements in data quality, lineage, metadata, and discoverability - treat data pipelines as software (versioning, testing, CI/CD). Establish canonical models/semantic patterns that support analytics and AI/ML workloads (features/embeddings, training/serving parity). 3) Operationalize AI (MLOps/LLMOps) the "paved road" way Define standards and reusable patterns for: feature stores, model registries, experiment tracking, promotion workflows, drift monitoring, and retraining . Build reference implementations and enable teams to ship features repeatedly - moving from PoC to governed production delivery. Own architectural testing/validation practices for AI components: quality, robustness, security, and performance. 4) Make it safe: governance, privacy, security, compliance Embed responsible AI and governance controls into the lifecycle: auditability, transparency, bias/risk considerations, and secure-by-design patterns. Partner with Security/Privacy/Legal to ensure our AI and data systems meet obligations without killing delivery velocity. 5) Lead through influence (engineering leadership) Act as a technical leader and mentor: clarify direction, unblock teams, and raise the architecture/engineering bar through reviews, guidance, and coaching. Communicate complex tradeoffs clearly - influence product, engineering, and leadership stakeholders with pragmatic options and crisp decisions. What you'll bring (Minimum qualifications) 8-12+ years building and evolving complex software products (SaaS/distributed systems required), including architectural leadership. Proven experience integrating AI/ML or GenAI into customer-facing software (not just internal analytics) - shipping to production with monitoring and operations. Hands-on experience modernizing data estates: data modeling, integration, pipelines, lineage, and scalable storage/compute patterns. Experience designing secure AI systems (threat modeling for prompt injection/data leakage, model supply chain controls, etc.). Strong understanding of modern data architecture concepts: curated layers, governance, da
