• Define engineering standards for deploying, versioning, testing, monitoring, and governing machine learning and generative AI solutions.
• Architect reusable MLand LLM patterns, including CI/CD, model and prompt versioning, experiment tracking, evaluation, observability, rollback, and production support.
• Guide implementation of feature pipelines, model registries, inference workflows, retrieval pipelines, vectorized knowledge assets, and AI evaluation frameworks.
• Partner with Data Scientists and AI product teams to move prototypes into secure, scalable, and supportable production services.
• Implement technical controls for traceability, reproducibility, model performance, data drift, responsible AI requirements, and operational reliability.
• Design curated, governed data products and knowledge assets for predictive analytics, generative AI, copilots, agents, and retrieval-augmented generation.
• Define how structured data, enterprise metrics, metadata, documents, embeddings, and retrieval indexes are linked and consumed.
• Ensure AI applications use approved business definitions, metrics, access policies, and authoritative data sources.
• Collaborate with Architecture and Governance teams on ontology, glossary, metadata, lineage, classification, and policy integration.
• Serve as the technical escalation point for complex semantic, analytics, MLOps, and AI engineering decisions.
• Create reference implementations, reusable frameworks, coding standards, and engineering playbooks.
• Mentor Senior Analytics & AI Engineers, Semantic Engineers, Data Analysts, and Data Scientists.
• Influence cross-functional roadmaps and communicate architecture decisions, trade-offs, risks, and business outcomes to technical and executive audiences.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend pragmatic adoption paths aligned with enterprise architecture and governance standards.
