* Internal AI Platform: Architect the shared infrastructure for RAG, model training, and evaluations to enable safe, scalable AI features.
* Adaptive Intelligence: Oversee the development of models that learn from customer-specific environments to generate high-signal, personalized insights.
Key Responsibilities
* Design from Scratch: Lead technical initiatives and drive architectural decisions for AI-driven automation.
* Productionize AI: Work with Research and DevOps to develop and deploy new AI capabilities into a modern cloud-native environment.
* Optimize Performance: Identify bottlenecks and continuously optimize backend systems designed for massive automation workloads.
