• Architect and provide authoritative direction for end-to-end AI ecosystems spanning data pipelines, model development, deployment, observability, evaluation, lifecycle management, and integration with critical enterprise platforms.
• Establish enterprise-wide architectural principles, governance frameworks, and decision criteria for generative AI, machine learning, large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, intelligent agents, APIs, and model integration, resolving the most complex or novel design challenges.
• Influence enterprise priorities and investment decisions by building alignment among engineering, data science, product, cybersecurity, legal, compliance, and senior business stakeholders on responsible, resilient, and value-driven AI solutions.
• Set technical direction and guide multiple teams through implementation, validation, governance, operational readiness, and cost optimization for business-critical production AI systems.
• Anticipate industry and technology shifts; assess emerging AI capabilities, vendors, and frameworks; and define adoption strategies that balance innovation, enterprise risk, scalability, interoperability, and long-term sustainability.
• Serve as the enterprise authority and escalation point for AI architecture, providing expert consultation, design review, and mentorship to senior engineers, architects, data scientists, and technical leaders across the organization.

Experience / Qualifications

• Own the AI platform architecture and standards, partnering with IT on the underlying cloud, network, and identity foundations.
• Design how priority AI use cases across supply chain, commercial, quality, and engineering connect to core enterprise systems so they scale from pilot to production.

Additional Qualifications:

• 12+ years of experience in software engineering, data, AI engineering, or enterprise architecture, including recent hands-on delivery of generative AI solutions.
• Proven record of shipping GenAI/LLM solutions (agents, RAG, copilots) into production at enterprise scale.
• Deep expertise in Azure, including Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Entra ID, and API management.
• Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Bicep, Terraform), and LLMOps/MLOps practices.
• Experience establishing architecture standards, design reviews, and reusable patterns adopted across multiple teams.
• Solid understanding of AI security, data governance, privacy, and responsible AI controls.
• Ability to influence senior business and technical leaders and turn business priorities into practical architecture decisions.
