- Guide delivery of AI/ML engineering initiatives: model serving integration, vector search, embedding indexing, metadata and chunking strategies, evaluation, and safe rollout of automated/AI-assisted product capabilities.

- Establish engineering practices: code and design reviews, unit/integration/data pipeline testing, CI/CD for data and ML workloads, documentation, and runbooks.

- Collaborate with platform, application, and infrastructure teams on PostgreSQL and other data stores, service boundaries, SLAs, and cross-team integrations.

- Remove blockers, balance priorities, and improve team velocity while maintaining high quality and predictable releases across the SDLC (including coordination with QA and project/delivery partners).

- Act as a technical thought leader and default mentor for engineers on data engineering, analytics engineering, and ML systems—raising the bar on architecture, implementation, and operational excellence.

Qualifications: - 10+ years of hands-on experience building and operating data-intensive, distributed systems, with a track record of scaling teams and platforms (horizontally and vertically).

- 3+ years leading engineers (or equivalent scope) in data engineering, analytics engineering, ML engineering, or platform/data teams.
