· Lead end-to-end development of AI features and services (LLM, NLP, CV, predictive ML) from prototyping to production, aligned to clear product outcomes and KPIs.
· Review and govern AI solution designs to ensure correctness, robustness, security, and responsible-AI compliance (bias, toxicity, hallucination risk, data leakage). · Partner with product and engineering teams to translate business problems into AI solution approaches (build vs buy, model choice, data needs, evaluation strategy) and executable delivery plans. · Lead and scale high-performing AI engineering teams delivering multiple initiatives in parallel (AI-enabled applications, internal platforms, and developer tooling). · Identify AI-specific risks (data quality, drift, adversarial use, hallucinations, latency/cost) and implement mitigation strategies throughout the delivery lifecycle. · Promote automation and engineering excellence (CI/CD for ML, automated evaluation, red-teaming, monitoring/alerting, and cost/performance optimization) to improve quality and velocity. · Collaborate closely with product, data, security, legal/compliance, and global engineering teams to align on AI use cases, constraints, and delivery expectations. · Coordinate architecture and delivery plans across multiple parallel AI initiatives (e.g., GenAI assistants, search/RAG, personalization, fraud/risk models, automation). · Work with platform teams to ensure reusable AI components and consistent patterns (prompt orchestration, retrieval, model gateways, feature management, observability) across the portfolio. · Act as a trusted technical advisor on AI strategy, platform choices, vendor/partner decisions, and responsible AI governance. · Explore, evaluate, and introduce AI technologies where they add clear business value (models, frameworks, orchestration tools, data platforms), balancing performance, cost, and risk. · Continuously improve AI development lifecycle practices (data/versioning, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, incident response) and governance models. · Mentor AI engineers and applied scientists, strengthening engineering rigor, model quality, and responsible-AI maturity.
