Senior Technical Editor – AI, Software Architecture and Enterprise Technology

Infosys Knowledge Institute (IKI) is the thought leadership and research arm of Infosys. It develops original, evidence-based perspectives that help business and technology leaders understand emerging trends, make informed decisions and translate technology developments into enterprise value.

Through the Infosys Technology Review and other IKI publications, we publish applied research, deep-technology perspectives, enterprise architecture papers, technology playbooks and executive strategy articles. Our work combines the expertise of Infosys practitioners and technology leaders with rigorous research, strong editorial judgment and clear implications for enterprises.

About the role

We are looking for an accomplished Senior Technical Editor to strengthen the quality, credibility and executive relevance of its technology thought leadership.

This is a substantive editorial role that extends well beyond copyediting. The editor will critically assess whether a manuscript presents an original and defensible point of view; whether its technical claims, architecture and supporting evidence are sound; and whether the argument is relevant and accessible to senior enterprise decision-makers.

The editor will work across topics such as artificial intelligence, generative and agentic AI, software and enterprise architecture, cloud, data engineering, cybersecurity, digital platforms, engineering practices and emerging technologies. Publications may include:

• Research and applied innovation papers
• Frontier technology and architecture perspectives
• Tech Navigator reports and implementation playbooks
• Executive technology strategy articles
• Multi-article series and thematic research programs

Working closely with authors, subject-matter experts, IKI producers, researchers, designers and publishing teams, the editor will serve as a critical editorial quality gate from manuscript development through final publication.

Responsibilities

Provide substantive and developmental editing

• Evaluate the central thesis, originality, relevance and strength of each manuscript.
• Determine whether the article addresses a meaningful enterprise problem and delivers a clear, differentiated point of view.
• Assess the logical progression of the argument and restructure manuscripts where required to improve coherence, clarity and impact.
• Identify unsupported assertions, reasoning gaps, contradictions, excessive generalization and conclusions that extend beyond the available evidence.
• Challenge manuscripts that merely describe a technology and help authors develop a stronger perspective on what it means for enterprises.
• Ensure that introductions establish the problem and purpose clearly, sections advance the argument, and conclusions translate the analysis into meaningful implications or actions.
• Preserve the author’s expertise and voice while raising the manuscript to IKI’s publication standards.

Technical requirements

• Primary skills:Process->Technical Writer->User Manual Documentation, Product Specification Documentation

Additional responsibilities

• Review technical concepts, terminology, frameworks, architectural patterns and implementation claims for accuracy and internal consistency.
• Test whether technical explanations are complete, logically sound and appropriate for the intended audience.
• Identify claims that require validation by a specialist and coordinate with relevant subject-matter experts to resolve technical questions.
• Ensure that distinctions between concepts, technologies, system layers and operating models are precise and consistently maintained.
• Review descriptions of AI models, agents, data pipelines, software systems, security controls, evaluation methods and enterprise architectures for conceptual accuracy.
• Detect overstatement, technology hype, unsubstantiated performance claims and language that may weaken the credibility of the publication.
• Maintain consistency across interconnected articles, particularly where multiple authors contribute to a common framework or publication series.
