Tech Stack
About the role
- Architect a scalable, multi-tenant agentic AI data platform using the Azure technology stack.
- Design a hybrid data architecture supporting operational systems, agentic AI workloads, and a knowledge graph
- Build infrastructure utilizing vector and graph databases for RAG applications and semantic search
- Design and implement comprehensive MLOps platform including deployment management, AI security and safety, and observability on Azure supporting the full ML lifecycle from experimentation to production.
- Build automated pipelines using Azure technologies for continuous integration and deployment
- Implement real-time inference infrastructure with monitoring, alerting, and automated drift detection
- End-to-end lifecycle management including hydration from existing taxonomies/ontologies
- Develop high-performance graph query services and APIs for real-time access to supply chain relationships
- Deploy automated validation, conflict resolution, and data quality monitoring to ensure graph consistency and accuracy
- Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and build CI/CD pipelines for data products and ML models
- Set and enforce platform standards for cost control, model/runtime selection, and performance targets (including budgeting, attribution, and optimization for training + inference).
- Lead AI governance with Security/Legal/Privacy, turning policy into technical controls (access, auditability, guardrails, retention, and risk management).
- Build scalable data + evaluation systems: synthetic dataset generation where appropriate, automated benchmarks, and release quality gates for RAG/agents as well as classical ML.
- Create self-service capabilities with comprehensive monitoring and observability
- Drive engineering delivery improvements through AI-based code analysis to improve quality, maintainability, and general code health.
- Drive engineering efficiency improvements through best practices and adoption of AI-assisted coding tools and capabilities.
- Stay on top of new research including cutting edge AI technology.
- Democratize AI through TraceGains teams for adoption and deployment across the platform.
Requirements
- Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience), Ph.D. is a plus.
- 10+ years building enterprise data and AI platforms in production environments
- 2-3 years driving LLM adoption for Generative AI use cases
- 1+ year(s) of building agentic systems including deployment of MCP servers to enable agentic AI.
- Proven ability to lead cost-aware AI delivery, technically grounded governance decisions, and large-scale evaluation/data practices.
- Proven track record designing and implementing MLOps platforms
- Experience with Pipelines, model monitoring, and drift detection
- Experience with graph databases, and vector databases to support RAG
- Ability to drive CI/CD for ML, security, safety, monitoring, and observability
- Proven ability to establish shared platform capabilities that serve multiple product teams
- Proven ability to deliver AI capabilities into production
- Strong communication skills with ability to present to executive leadership
- Track record of cross-functional collaboration with AI product teams, ML, and business stakeholders
- Experience establishing technical standards and governance frameworks across distributed teams
- Ability to be a team player, willing to grow and change and drive change into the organization in a positive and constructive manner.
- Experience mentoring technical teams (data engineers, AI/ML engineers, and platform engineers)
- Occasional travel required for department meetings, all company events, in-person seminars/networking events, etc.
- Successful completion of a drug and background screening process.
