Responsibilities
Lead the development of a core AI Data Readiness platform that transforms fragmented enterprise data into clean, governed, and discoverable assets ready for AI consumption.
Serve as the primary architect of the data-to-AI lifecycle, ensuring both structured and unstructured data assets are AI-ready from day one.
Oversee the end-to-end processing lifecycle—including ingestion, parsing, and enrichment—to guarantee the accuracy and governance of all published assets.
Define standards and tooling for ingesting data from client systems (batch and streaming).
Build reusable connectors and canonical schemas to eliminate redundant, project-specific custom work.
Implement Data Contracts with upstream systems and downstream consumers to guarantee data integrity.
Establish automated validation gates for completeness, consistency, anomaly detection, and drift monitoring.
Ensure “Governance by Default,” including PII detection/redaction, encryption, and audit trails for GDPR and AI Act compliance.
Define and maintain SLAs/SLOs for ingestion pipelines (freshness, uptime, failure rates).
Optimize cloud-native infrastructure costs and implement robust monitoring and incident playbooks.
Serve as the lead architect for enterprise customers, designing high-performance AI data readiness strategies aligned with business goals.
Scale a specialized team of data and platform engineers.
Provide documentation, standards, and self-service capabilities for cross-functional teams.
