What you'll do * Architect end-to-end AI systems (GenAI and traditional ML) built for production, not the lab * Own the full technical lifecycle: model selection, deployment, MLOps, evaluation, and monitoring * Deploy across cloud platforms (AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, GCP) and self-hosted GPU infrastructure * Implement observability, security guardrails, and responsible AI frameworks from day one * Lead cross-functional engineering teams and translate client needs into clear technical roadmaps * Communicate with both engineers and senior stakeholders - and know when AI isn't the right answer ## Related Videos - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
