- Enforce Responsible AI: Establish and oversee rigorous evaluation frameworks (including LLM-as-a-judge methodologies) to ensure all agentic decisions are completely unbiased, legally sound, secure, and fully explainable to enterprise clients.
- Cultivate a High-Performance Team: Mentor, grow, and empower senior and junior data scientists. Foster a culture of high autonomy, rapid MVP prototyping, and continuous experimentation with next-generation AI stacks.
- Client Advocacy & Executive Bridge: Lead high-impact client workshops, present cutting-edge prototypes, and translate complex technical architectures into clear, value-driven outcomes for healthcare payer executives and C-suite stakeholders.
- Model-Agnostic Governance: Maintain a modular, agile product strategy, ensuring Shift’s infrastructure allows for seamless integration and swapping of underlying capabilities as the market evolves.
What you bring...

- Advanced Generative AI Expertise: Proven hands-on experience designing and scaling production-level Large Language Models (LLMs), RAG systems, and autonomous multi-modal agent workflows.
- Enterprise Technical Leadership: Strong background in object-oriented programming (OOP) and machine learning fundamentals, with a deep understanding of the full ML lifecycle (monitoring, versioning, and deployment).
- Strategic Databricks & ML flow Mastery: Deep familiarity with managing enterprise AI environments utilizing Mosaic AI, Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, and leveraging MLflow for end-to-end experiment tracking and prompt engineering.
- Exceptional Communication: A demonstrated ability to co-create products alongside clients, manage complex stakeholder expectations, and act as a bridge between deep technical execution and commercial business needs.
