• Lead the exploration and implementation of advanced AI architectures, including multi-agent systems and orchestration frameworks.
• Collaborate with business, product, and data teams to prototype, deliver, and operationalize AI-powered solutions.
• Develop evaluation, monitoring, and governance capabilities that support the reliable operationalization, continuous improvement, and responsible use of AI solutions.
• Identify opportunities to apply proven AI capabilities to additional business processes and portfolios.
• Contribute to architecture standards, technical direction, and AI best practices while sharing knowledge across the development community.
• Develop evaluation frameworks to assess the effectiveness, reliability, and business value of AI applications.
