About the Role:

Architectural Governance (The "Decision Matrix"):

• Define and enforce the standard for where AI workloads run by defining Enterprise reference architectures, Decision frameworks, guardrails & reusable templates and AI workload placement guidelines

• Provide guidance and oversight to AI Developers and engineering teams to ensure alignment with the enterprise AI architecture.

Delivery & Execution (Unblocking Pilots):

• Provide architectural and engineering leadership to unblock pilots and accelerate delivery.
• Build reusable deployment pipelines (MLOps) to resolve current resource/capacity bottlenecks.

Intelligent Integration:

• Design the "glue" between Snowflake data and Azure applications using robust API standards (including guidance).
  • Implement Document AI to automate entity extraction from policies/claims and expose this data to downstream systems.
  • Develop connectors for Microsoft Copilot to securely query internal Snowflake data. Assess and integrate required AI services to close gaps or introduce new capabilities.
  • Define secure token, authentication, and identity-boundary patterns; establish telemetry and monitoring for all AI workloads; and optimize model cost/performance through workload placement, caching, and throughput tuning.

• Strong coding skills in Python (required for both stacks) and SQL, with experience in frameworks like LangChain, Semantic Kernel, or Streamlit. Knowledge of vector databases, feature stores, orchestration (Airflow/Azure Data Factory), and LLM evaluation frameworks
• Proficiency in enterprise architecture tools and methodologies

Soft Skills
