Staff AI Solutions Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, deploy, and maintain production LLM-based solutions and agent workflows.

• Own the technical strategy and reference architecture for enterprise AI solutions across multiple teams and business functions.

• Lead high-complexity, cross-functional AI initiatives from ambiguous problem definition through production adoption and measurable business outcomes.

• Define and evolve reusable platform capabilities, implementation standards, and governance patterns that enable safe, scalable AI adoption beyond a single team.

• Review citizen developer AI agents/solutions to provide recommendations for optimization, ensure compliance with guidelines, and measure value.

• Influence roadmap and investment decisions across the company through technical leadership and business-value analysis.

• Drive technical debates, align stakeholders on tradeoffs, and unblock multi-team execution for strategically important AI initiatives .

• Implement, review, and validate code produced by models; write production-quality code and run code reviews to ensure correctness and security.

• Build robust integrations and connectors ( MCP, REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, SDKs, CLIs ) between AI tooling and enterprise SaaS (e.g., Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, Jira, Confluence, Jamf ).

• Own end-to-end deployment and lifecycle for AI services : CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), cloud deployment (GCP/AWS), monitoring, and incident/runbook playbooks .

• Establish and operate model evaluation, monitoring, and governance: accuracy and safety metrics, hallucination detection, drift monitoring, telemetry, alerting, and human-in-the-loop controls .

• Lead vendor evaluations and POCs across commercial and open-source LLM/agent platforms ; produce comparative performance, risk, and TCO recommendations to inform adoption.

• Partner with Cybersecurity and Compliance to design PHI-safe data handling patterns (sanitization, tokenization, least-privilege access, audit logging) and ensure AI solutions align with relevant controls and policies.

• Create and maintain architecture diagrams, API documentation, runbooks, support documentation, and onboarding materials so solutions are maintainable and auditable.

• Mentor engineers and influence architectural standards for AI/LLM adoption across Digital Workplace; contribute reusable libraries and IaC modules to accelerate future builds.

• Drive automation of operational tasks (provisioning, onboarding, common workflows) via agents and workflow tooling to reduce manual processes.

• Partner with Technology Services leadership to implement AI spend management tools and value tracking.
