Designs and productizes scalable AI capabilities across a portfolio, turning LLM, agent, and conversational components into reusable services. Establishes integration patterns for RAG, vector search, and model orchestration using Databricks, while standardizing governance, monitoring, and evaluation frameworks.

  • Turn models, agents, and conversational interfaces into reusable product capabilities
  • Create scalable integration patterns for conversational AI, RAG/vector search, and model orchestration/evaluation
  • Standardize AI infrastructure and create shared services/SDKs to reduce time-to-production
  • Architect multi-product scale foundations using Databricks (Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, Workflows, Model Serving, Genie)
  • Define governance, monitoring, and evaluation frameworks for reliable, secure, production-ready AI

Builds enterprise AI foundations in Databricks (Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, Workflows, Model Serving, Genie) and implements production AI systems for scalable inference. Develops API-first architectures using Python, REST/GraphQL, and supports vector database and embedding-based retrieval with AI governance and evaluation pipelines.

The ideal candidate is a principal-level AI engineer with 10+ years of experience productizing AI capabilities and deploying production LLM/RAG systems. They have deep Databricks expertise (Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, Workflows, Model Serving, Genie) and strong backend engineering in Python, APIs, microservices, and distributed systems, with proven experience standardizing AI infrastructure and governance frameworks.
