  - Define and maintain AI-first architecture for data and analytics platforms, integrating LLMs, agent frameworks, and orchestration layers.
  - Design agentic workflows for data stewardship, hierarchy management, and firmographic enrichment.
  - Architect multi-agent systems for automation, predictive analytics, and decision intelligence.
  - Ensure AI components comply with responsible AI principles, security, and governance standards.
• Agent Development & Orchestration
  - Build custom AI agents for data quality, enrichment, and operational workflows.
  - Implement agent orchestration frameworks for scalable execution across distributed environments.
  - Integrate AI-driven rules engines for dynamic data governance and override logic.
• Platform Engineering
  - Develop and optimize platform services for Databricks, Power BI, Tableau, SQL Server, and Collibra.
  - Implement infrastructure-as-code for provisioning, scaling, and monitoring AI-enabled platform components.
  - Drive observability for AI workloads through APM, logging, and performance dashboards.
• Data Engineering
  - Design and implement data pipelines for structured and unstructured sources (ERP, CRM, telemetry).
  - Apply ETL/ELT best practices for ingestion and transformation at scale.
  - Re-engineer foundational data assets into AI-ready architectures (Medallion, Gold Layer).
• Innovation & Governance
  - Champion AI-driven orchestration for automation and predictive analytics.
  - Implement data quality frameworks, metadata management, and master data governance.

Here’s what you’ll need to be successful in this role:

• 8+ years in data architecture, platform engineering, and data engineering roles.
• Expertise in cloud-native platforms (Azure, AWS) and distributed systems.
• Strong experience with Databricks, Spark, SQL, Python, and AI/ML frameworks.
• Familiarity with agent orchestration tools and multi-agent architectures.
• Proven ability to design scalable, cost-efficient AI platforms for analytics and automation.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

Here’s what else might help you out:

• Experience with LLM-based agents, orchestration frameworks, and AI governance.
• Knowledge of Medallion architecture, EDA frameworks, and agentic design patterns.
• Background in platform observability and performance optimization for AI workloads.
