Responsibilities
Select appropriate AI approaches, explain trade-offs, and spot common failure modes like hallucination, bias, and drift.
Curate task-specific datasets, define baseline metrics, and design AI-centric features balancing latency, cost, and quality, including within multi-agent pipelines, building evaluation frameworks for non-deterministic workflows.
Embed AI agents into your science workflow (experiment orchestration, hyperparameter search, simulation-based validation), helping set team standards for agent-driven tasks.
Apply data mining, NLP, and ML (supervised/unsupervised, Causal-ML, Online, Bayesian, Reinforcement, Deep Learning) to real-world problems and datasets.
Provide accurate estimates for projects, accounting for technical risk and the quality of agent-generated work.
Eliminate systematic roadblocks through cross-functional influence; maintain quality standards through the full development cycle.
Take full responsibility for delivering major features or projects; run A/B tests and communicate impact to peers and leaders.
Use customer feedback, usage, and product data, plus AI agents, to deepen technical analysis and influence product direction.
