Primary Accountabilities

• Partner with stakeholders to refine undefined use cases into clear requirements, translate those into technical specs, and implement working solutions.

• Design and build platform capabilities that multiple teams consume, including feature stores, observability tooling, evaluation pipelines, and deployment patterns.

• Define and implement reusable patterns and infrastructure: shared LLM serving, evaluation frameworks, CI/CD templates, internal SDKs.

• Assess existing AI applications and establish standards for code quality, testing, deployment, and observability.

• Mentor data scientist and data engineers, conduct meaningful code reviews, and provide architectural guidance across the platform.

• Facilitate communication across project teams, architects, and business partners.

• Document critical workflows, standards, and operational support aspects of the platform.

Specialized Knowledge & Skills Requirements

• Demonstrated experience building AI/ML systems that run in production at scale - not notebooks or prototypes, but real software serving real users.

• Proven ability to take ambiguous, undefined problems and deliver shipped products.

• Strong system design skills with an emphasis on scalability, failure modes, and long-term maintainability.

• Deep software engineering fundamentals: experience with large codebases, design patterns, testability, and enterprise SDLC.

• Hands-on experience with LLMs in production: RAG, agents, evaluation, prompt engineering, or fine-tuning.

• Expert-level Python programming in a software engineering context, not just scripting or pipelines.

• Experience designing and building APIs for internal or external consumption.

• Deep experience with GCP, specifically Vertex AI, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, and NoSQL databases (e.g., Firestore, Bigtable).

• Applied knowledge of Kubernetes for container orchestration and workload management.
