## Description

As an AI / ML Technical Lead, you will define and drive the technical direction of mission-critical AI systems supporting Public Health and Safety. You will lead the design and implementation of scalable machine learning and generative AI solutions, including AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation ( RAG ) systems, and evaluation frameworks that ensure reliability, safety, and mission alignment.

You will serve as a technical authority across a community of engineers, partnering with data engineers, architects, product owners, and stakeholders to shape enterprise AI strategy, architecture standards, and delivery practices. Your work will span end-to-end AI system design-from data pipelines and modeling to agent orchestration, memory or state management, retrieval optimization, and production deployment.

In this role, you will also lead the development of AI evaluation strategies, prompt engineering workflows, and governance frameworks using tools such as MCP, Prompt Buddy, Codex, Claude, and OpenEvidence. You will ensure systems are performant, explainable, secure, and compliant with public health data privacy and ethical standards. This position is located in Atlanta, GA.

What You'll Work On:

 * Lead the design and development of scalable AI / ML systems using PySpark and Palantir Foundry for public health mission applications.
 * Architect generative AI solutions, including AI agents, MCP-enabled workflows, Prompt Buddy integrations, and RAG pipelines.
 * Define AI evaluation frameworks covering performance benchmarking, retrieval optimization, safety validation, and production monitoring.
 * Design and implement agent architectures with memory, state management, orchestration, and structured or unstructured data interaction.
 * Integrate advanced AI tools such as Codex, Claude, and OpenEvidence into enterprise AI workflows and platforms.
 * Establish data governance, privacy, anonymization, documentation, and ethical AI standards across AI / ML systems.
