Collaborate with stakeholders to design solutions incorporating AI, automation, and machine-assisted decision-making.
Design, build, and integrate AI tools, data pipelines, and reusable components into existing systems.
Contribute to backlog prioritization, effort estimation, and delivery of features, including AI-related work.
Ensure quality through testing, code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, and validation of AI outputs and reliability.
Provide technical leadership on AI adoption, researching emerging technologies and recommending enhancements.
Engage stakeholders to promote responsible AI use and communicate solutions to both technical and non-technical audiences.
