• Own and evolve the enterprise data platform (e.g., Snowflake), including architecture, engineering standards, scalability, performance, and cost optimization
• Drive the transition from traditional data pipelines to reusable, well-governed data products with clear ownership and SLAs
• Enable Salesforce and CRM-based agentic workflows through secure data integration, real-time availability, and governed access patterns
• Build enterprise AI capabilities including LLM integrations, prompt libraries, reusable workflows, and evaluation frameworks
• Partner with Cybersecurity, Legal, and Compliance to ensure AI solutions are auditable, secure, and aligned with regulatory requirements
• Lead MLOps/AgentOps practices including monitoring, version control, testing, and operational reliability of AI systems
