Key Responsibilities<ul><li>
Define AI strategy and reference architectures for generative AI, agentic systems, RAG, and predictive ML.</li><li>
Set model strategy: build-vs-buy, open-weight vs. hosted, multi-model routing, and a framework for evaluating new models as they ship.</li><li>
Architect the data and retrieval foundation &mdash; lakehouse, feature stores, vector stores, and lineage &mdash; that AI systems depend on.</li><li>

Lead AI security: threat modeling for prompt injection and data exfiltration, and OWASP LLM Top 10 mitigations.</li><li>
Own responsible AI and governance &mdash; risk classification, human oversight, auditability, and alignment with the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO/IEC 42001.</li><li>
Establish FinOps for AI: cost models, token budgeting, and unit economics per use case.</li><li>
Provide technical leadership, review designs, mentor engineers, and align stakeholders from engineering to the executive team. 
 
Candidate Requirements</li></ul><ul><li>
Demonstrated experience delivering AI solutions in an enterprise or client-facing/consulting environment.</li><li>
Prior experience at management consulting firms and/or Big Tech is an advantage.</li><li>
Bachelor's or Master&rsquo;s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, or a related field.</li><li>
8+ years in software/data engineering, with 3+ years architecting AI/ML or large-scale data systems.</li><li>
A track record of designing and delivering production AI systems end-to-end, ideally including GenAI/LLM workloads.</li><li>
Deep understanding of LLM and ML system design &mdash; RAG, agents, fine-tuning trade-offs, evaluation, serving, and the full MLOps/LLMOps lifecycle.</li><li>
Strong cloud architecture skills (Azure, AWS, or GCP) plus a modern data platform (Databricks or Snowflake).</li><li>
Expertise in AI security, responsible AI, and data governance, with awareness of relevant regulations.</li><li>
Excellent communication &mdash; able to influence both engineers and executives.</li><li>
Hands-on enough to prototype, review code, and earn engineering teams&rsquo; trust.
