Architect the data and retrieval foundation &mdash; lakehouse, feature stores, vector stores, and lineage &mdash; that AI systems depend on.</p></li><li><p>
Design the LLMOps/MLOps platform: experiment tracking, model and prompt registries, automated eval gates, and observability.</p></li><li><p>
Lead AI security: threat modeling for prompt injection and data exfiltration, and OWASP LLM Top 10 mitigations.</p></li><li><p>
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.</p></li><li><p>
Establish FinOps for AI: cost models, token budgeting, and unit economics per use case.</p></li><li><p>
Provide technical leadership, review designs, mentor engineers, and align stakeholders from engineering to the executive team.<br>
<br>
<b>Candidate Requirements</b></p></li></ul><ul><li><p>
Demonstrated experience delivering AI solutions in an enterprise or client-facing/consulting environment.</p></li><li><p>
Prior experience at management consulting firms and/or Big Tech is an advantage.</p></li><li><p>

8+ years in software/data engineering, with 3+ years architecting AI/ML or large-scale data systems.</p></li><li><p>
A track record of designing and delivering production AI systems end-to-end, ideally including GenAI/LLM workloads.</p></li><li><p>
Deep understanding of LLM and ML system design &mdash; RAG, agents, fine-tuning trade-offs, evaluation, serving, and the full MLOps/LLMOps lifecycle.</p></li><li><p>
Strong cloud architecture skills (Azure, AWS, or GCP) plus a modern data platform (Databricks or Snowflake).</p></li><li><p>
Expertise in AI security, responsible AI, and data governance, with awareness of relevant regulations.</p></li><li><p>
