AI Agent Architecture & Workflow Optimization
- Pioneer methods for formalizing business workflows (e.g., representing how customer support queries are resolved) in a way that allows AI models (particularly LLMs) to judge, reason about, and propose optimizations for these processes.
Cross-Functional Alignment & Collaboration
- Work with the AI Group to implement and conduct retrospectives on Big AI projects, contributing to a cycle of continuous learning and improvement.
- Collaborate with internal teams (e.g., Research, ICT, Legal) and external partners to ensure the successful deployment and ethical use of AI solutions.
Alignment with SIO & BOS
- Collaborate with the SIO and BOS Design Team to ensure AI initiatives are strategically aligned, measurable, and effectively integrated into business operations.
- Embed AI-driven insights into enterprise planning and decision-making processes (SIO).
- Contribute to the development of performance metrics to assess the impact of AI solutions (SIO).
- Support the design and optimization of business workflows that align with BOS frameworks and governance.
Innovation & Best Practices
- Stay at the forefront of advancements in AI, machine learning, and related fields, and champion the adoption of cutting-edge techniques and best practices within the AI Group.
Requirements
Who you are:

- Proven track record of developing and deploying sophisticated AI/ML models that have delivered measurable business value.
- Significant experience and expertise in statistical analysis, machine learning (e.g., supervised/unsupervised learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning), and AI model development.
- Proven ability to translate ambiguous and complex business problems into well-defined AI/ML projects with clear objectives and deliverables.
- Expert-level proficiency in Python and extensive experience with core data science and machine learning libraries/frameworks (e.g., Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face Transformers).
- Outstanding analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills, with a knack for dissecting complex issues and devising innovative solutions.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate sophisticated technical concepts to non-technical audiences and influence senior stakeholders.
- Demonstrated leadership qualities, including the ability to take ownership of complex projects and drive them to completion.
