  • Establish engineering rituals (design reviews, postmortems, chapter forums) and uphold high bars for code quality, testing, security, and documentation.
  • Define technical strategy and reference architectures for Agentic AI solutions and traditional AI/ML solutions
  • Guide teams from POC to production: requirements, solution design, backlog, sprint execution, integration, performance, and operational readiness.
  • Drive platform thinking—build reusable Agentic AI services, SDKs, and patterns for retrieval, orchestration, guardrails, evaluation, and observability.
  • Lead design and build of Agentic AI solutions for priority business workflows across all Mastercard’s Business
  • Implement RAG, function/tool calling, knowledge graph integrations, and domain adapters for enterprise contexts.
