Job Level
About the role
- Partner with business groups to identify AI/automation opportunities, assess feasibility (viability, data, integration, ROI, readiness), translate problems into technical plans, communicate recommendations, and help prioritize demand across the portfolio.
- Design, build, and refine AI‑driven applications and agents (RAG, prompt engineering, agent architectures) for internal and occasional client use on platforms like Glean, Microsoft Copilot, and Snowflake Intelligence.
- Implement RPA, scripting, and low‑code/no‑code workflows to automate repetitive processes, integrate systems and data sources, and operate/optimize automations for reliable, end‑to‑end execution.
- Write production‑grade code for AI and automation solutions with strong documentation, testing, and SDLC discipline, using modern engineering practices (Git, code review, CI/CD) to ensure quality and maintainability.
- Work with cross‑functional teams to deliver solutions, clearly communicate value to technical and non‑technical stakeholders, and align work with priorities through agile planning.
- Share best practices, track and experiment with emerging AI/automation tools, inform leadership through prototypes and production learnings, and help select and operate secure, governed cloud AI services.
