About the role

  • Design comprehensive AI system architectures, taking responsibility for selecting models (e.g., LLMs, traditional ML, or hybrid approaches), determining the use of RAG versus fine-tuning or agentic workflows, and overseeing data pipelines, vector stores, orchestration, and observability.
  • Proactively assess scale, latency, cost, and reliability tradeoffs, collaborating with IT to devise solutions and monitoring tools to prevent issues before they arise.
  • Partner with product, strategy, and executive stakeholders to define the problems at hand, transform ambiguous goals into specific solutions and requirements, and establish and promote shared success metrics.
  • Work alongside UX/UI and Solution Architects to create and implement evaluation criteria for AI outputs (such as quality, bias, drift, and hallucinations) throughout the design, prototyping, development, and production phases.
  • Take ownership of and document data privacy, security, and compliance considerations, including establishing clear guidelines on issues like prompt injection, IP leakage, bias, brand risks, model limitations, failure modes, and established human escalation paths.
  • Evaluate cost-to-value tradeoffs, incorporating active optimization of token usage, caching strategies, and model routing, while also considering future growth plans.
  • Provide strategic insights on roadmaps and intellectual property, identifying reusable patterns that can add value or evolve into platforms, internal tools, and future features based on existing IP.
  • Stay at the frontier of AI innovation, exploring emerging models, frameworks, and integrations that enhance our marketing ecosystem.
