• Define governance for model usage, prompt and workflow lifecycle, access control, logging, auditability, monitoring, and responsible AI.
• Evaluate AI, automation, low-code, and orchestration technologies and recommend fit-for-purpose platforms and engineering patterns.
• Own technical quality through architecture reviews, design governance, code reviews, testing strategy, release readiness, and production support.
• Drive DevOps, CI/CD, test automation, observability, and controlled deployment practices for MVP and production releases.
• Partner with senior business and technology stakeholders to prioritize opportunities, manage dependencies, communicate risks, and demonstrate business value.

How we work together
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week.
Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company’s facilities.
Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company’s main facilities, generally at the customers’ or suppliers’ locations.
This role is an office role.
