Purpose
This position is responsible for acting as the organization’s deep technical authority for enterprise Artificial Intelligence initiatives—particularly agentic and LLM-enabled solutions—ensuring they exceed intended business outcomes and comply with Responsible AI and Model Risk requirements. This role is designed for an expert individual contributor who leads through technical influence: defining patterns, guiding architecture decisions, strengthening evaluation discipline (including prompting), and elevating delivery quality across hybrid environments (cloud and on-prem).
The Specialist is accountable for taking over complex AI initiatives already in motion, identifying critical gaps, and improving them through rigorous prompt/evaluation practices,
governance-by-design, and production-grade engineering. The role serves as a key escalation point for complex technical decisions, enabling multiple teams (including Level 6 engineers) to deliver safe, reliable, measurable, and supportable AI capabilities.
Accountabilities
.1. Technical Authority & Architecture Leadership (IC Leadership)- Lead architecture decisions for agentic/LLM solutions, including integration patterns (APIs/event-driven), retrieval/grounding approaches, guardrails, evaluation design, and operational monitoring.- Establish reusable reference architectures and “golden paths” that reduce rework and accelerate safe delivery across teams.- Act as escalation point for high-impact technical risks and guide root-cause analysis to drive sustainable fixes—not short-term patches.
