• Own the architecture of the services developed by the team and document decisions, tradeoffs, and rejected alternatives
• Build and ship AI-powered customer and internal solutions using LLMs, RAG, tool calling, workflows, and agentic patterns
• Own AI systems end to end, including problem framing, implementation, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration
• Develop scalable and reliable inference pipelines with attention to latency, cost, security, and observability
• Set the evaluation and quality bar through offline evaluations, online signals, failure analysis, and continuous improvement loops
• Design AI systems with auditability, model governance, and EU AI Act obligations built in from the start
• Drive AI platform and tooling decisions that improve reuse, speed, and consistency across teams
• Partner with solution managers, domain teams, and engineers to integrate AI into real workflows
• Challenge product decisions and advocate for technically appropriate solutions
• Negotiate scope and sequencing with domain teams
• Decide what to deprecate, simplify, or stop based on evidence
• Shape the AI roadmap rather than only executing tickets
• Deliver significant AI capabilities with measurable impact through revenue uplift, cost savings, productivity gains, or risk reduction
