- Contribute to architecture and technical direction.
- Actively partner with other product teams to understand their AI use cases and identify how to best enable and support them.
- Advise on when to apply an AI/LLM solution, and when not to: championing AI where it drives speed and ROI and steering away where it doesn't.
