Embed AI governance directly into engineering workflows , including:

Security and access controls

Data classification and handling

Model risk management requirements

Privacy and consent controls

Responsible AI principles

Auditability and regulatory traceability

Partner closely with Risk, Compliance, Legal, and Architecture teams to ensure AI solutions meet internal and external regulatory expectations.

Generative AI & Advanced AI Capabilities

Implementation of Generative AI patterns such as Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG), embeddings, semantic search, and agent workflows.

Ensure GenAI solutions are grounded in approved data sources, governed access, logging, and retention policies.





Define evaluation and monitoring approaches for GenAI outputs in regulated use cases.

Implement automated ML/LLM delivery pipelines covering training, evaluation, approval, deployment, and rollback.

Implement standards for model versioning, reproducibility, environment isolation, and controlled releases.

Reduce time‑to‑production while increasing safety, repeatability, and governance through automation.

Do you have the skills that will enable you to succeed in this role? We'd love to work with you if you have:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

3+ years of experience in cloud engineering, with 3+ years focused on AI/ML systems
