AVP, AI & ML Engineering, Tech Lead

Responsibilities:

AI/ML Architecture & Agentic System Design

• Architect and lead implementation of agentic AI systems capable of multi-step reasoning, tool use, workflow orchestration, and domain-specific autonomy

• Build LLM-based agents that interact with APIs, data products, and enterprise systems to drive intelligent automation and decision support

• Design orchestration layers that incorporate memory, context management, and dynamic planning for advanced agent behaviors

• Develop RAG architectures that integrate embeddings, vector search, and semantic retrieval into agentic workflows

AWS Bedrock–Driven AI Platform Engineering

• Lead adoption of AWS Bedrock for model selection, orchestration, governance, and enterprise scaling of LLMs and generative AI

• Implement Bedrock Features such as:

  • Guardrails.

  • Model evaluation

  • Provisioned throughput

  • Custom model fine-tuning

• Integrate Bedrock models with downstream systems, including microservices, pipelines, and agent frameworks

• Partner with enterprise architecture to define standards for Bedrock usage and model lifecycle governance

Knowledge Graph & Semantic Intelligence

• Own engineering and operationalization of the Enterprise Knowledge Graph and integrate it with LLM and agent frameworks as a structured reasoning layer

• Implement ontology-driven enrichment, entity resolution, and graph-based retrieval for AI capabilities

• Connect graph services to agents to support semantic grounding, consistency, and contextual awareness

ML Engineering & MLOps

• Build and maintain automated pipelines for training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring of traditional and generative ML models

• Establish rigorous MLOps standards including CI/CD, reproducibility, drift detection, and quality gates

• Develop feature stores, vector databases, and real-time inference services optimized for AI workloads

Engineering Delivery & Cross-Team Collaboration

• Partner deeply with DIME to ensure upstream data pipelines meet enterprise AI-grade requirements for freshness, quality, lineage, and metadata

• Work with Lakehouse Engineering and Data Product teams to align models, features, and data availability

• Collaborate with governance and security teams to enforce responsible AI practices and regulatory controls
