• 3. AI Platform Evaluation & Assessment

  • AI platform evaluation and adoption: Evaluate enterprise AI platforms and productivity tools such as Microsoft Copilot, Dataiku, coding assistants, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, Codex, and other emerging AI tools as good-to-have capabilities, validating their architecture fit, governance readiness, security posture, integration model, and business value.

• 3. Governance, Security & Performance

  • Cloud security and governance: Define and enforce security controls across GCP, including IAM, least privilege access, network security, encryption, secrets management, audit logging, policy controls, data protection, and responsible AI governance standards.
  • Production reliability: Establish monitoring, alerting, logging, tracing, incident response, performance tuning, release readiness, operational runbooks, and support practices for AI, data, and cloud platform services.
  • FinOps and optimization: Lead usage analytics, budget controls, cost allocation, model and API usage optimization, resource right-sizing, and executive-level reporting to improve cloud and AI platform cost efficiency.

• 4. Technical Leadership & Team Enablement

  Lead and mentor junior engineers by providing hands-on technical direction, reviewing architecture designs and code, defining reusable engineering patterns, conducting knowledge-sharing sessions, assigning technical tasks, removing blockers, and ensuring consistent delivery quality across AI platform, GCP, automation, MLOps, LLMOps, and AgentOps initiatives.

  5. MLOps & LLMOps

  Lead the operationalization of ML, generative AI, and agentic AI solutions across enterprise platforms. This includes MLOps for model deployment, lifecycle management, monitoring, retraining support, and release governance; LLMOps for prompt/version management, model evaluation, RAG quality, safety controls, usage tracking, and responsible AI oversight; and AgentOps for agent workflow observability, tool usage governance, guardrails, incident management, and production support.
