You don't wait for product teams to ask for AI capabilities; you proactively build the frameworks that solve their bottlenecks before they even identify them. * Software Engineering Rigor: You treat AI development as software engineering. You understand CI/CD, unit testing for AI (evaluation datasets), containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and clean code architecture. * Influence Without Authority: Exceptional leadership and communication skills. You can inspire and align disparate engineering teams around a shared technical vision without being their direct line manager. * Communication: Exceptional verbal and written English communication skills. Ability to demystify complex AI anomalies or architectures into clear business value for internal stakeholders and executives. ## Description * Internal AI tooling: Design and maintain the core AI orchestration layers, centralized API gateways, and reusable frameworks (e.g., advanced RAG architectures, agentic frameworks) for company-wide consumption. * Product AI Integration: Collaborate directly with core engineering teams to embed production-ready generative AI and machine learning features into the Actian Data Intelligence Platform. * LLMOps & Governance Infrastructure: Establish strict guardrails, evaluation frameworks, and monitoring tools to track model performance, bias, data privacy, and security across all AI implementations. * Cost & Latency Optimization: Actively monitor and manage cloud and API compute spend (token management, open-source vs. commercial models) and optimize execution latency for production AI features. * Cross-Functional Upskilling: Lead workshops, design blueprints, and create documentation to empower non-AI engineering teams to build and maintain their own AI-driven features confidently. * Rapid Prototyping (PoC to Production): Drive the engineering execution of high-impact AI proof-of-concepts, ensuring they are built with production-grade code that scales seamlessly. * Standardization of Tooling: Define and enforce the organization's official AI stack, from vector database selection and vector embeddings strategies to semantic caching mechanisms. * Vendor & Open-Source Strategy: Evaluate and manage partnerships with AI model providers and lead the technical assessment of cutting-edge open-source models to keep Actian at the vanguard of innovation. * Data-Driven Impact Tracking: Define and track operational metrics for the AI Enablement function, such as developer adoption rates, reduction in time-to-market for AI features, and ROI of implemented AI tools. ## Related Videos - [AI-Enabled Organisations: From Strategy to Practice](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100171-ai-enabled-organisations-from-strategy-to-practice) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [MLOps and AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/347-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [Scoring 2000 Products per Request: Performance Pitfalls in Golang](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2073-scoring-2000-products-per-request-performance-pitfalls-in-golang) ## Related Articles - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [MLOps – What’s the deal behind it?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/125-mlops-what-s-the-deal-behind-it) - [Coffee with Developers - Maria Apazoglou - Making AI understandable for all in production](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/475-coffee-with-developers-maria-apazoglou-making-ai-understandable-for-all-in-production)
