• Ensure system reliability, observability, and cost efficiency

• Establish AI governance and safe usage practices

AI Framework & Methodology Expertise

• Apply modern AI methodologies, including:

o Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

o Prompt engineering and evaluation

o AI output validation and guardrails

o Human-in-the-loop workflows

o Model monitoring and performance evaluation

• Drive experimentation, A/B testing, and telemetry-based decision making

Team Leadership

• Lead and mentor developers and QA engineers

• Raise AI literacy across the team

• Establish AI-native coding and review standards

• Balance speed, quality, and architectural integrity

Delivery & Outcome Ownership

• Own predictable, high-quality releases

• Ensure AI features are measurable, validated, and production-ready

• Act as technical escalation point

• Drive cross-team alignment with Product, Data, and DevOps

AI-Driven Engineering Excellence

• Leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve velocity

• Optimize AI cost-performance tradeoffs

• Embed automation into testing and CI/CD pipelines

Qualifications

  • 7+ years software engineering experience, 2+ years in technical leadership
  • Hands-on experience building and deploying AI-enabled systems
  • Strong knowledge of:
    • LLM integration and prompt design
    • RAG architectures and vector search
    • AI orchestration frameworks
    • Cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
  • Experience designing scalable distributed systems

Preferred

  • Experience in regulated industries
  • AI governance and compliance knowledge
  • Model lifecycle management and monitoring tools
