As Sr. Staff – Data Science & Applied AI (Cloud AI), you will be a core technical contributor within WBD’s AI Center of Excellence (CoE).

This role is designed for a hands-on senior architect who operates at the intersection of enterprise architecture, applied AI, Generative AI, agentic AI, and cloud platform engineering. You will translate complex business challenges into scalable AI solution architectures, production-ready platforms, and reusable technical patterns that drive measurable enterprise value.

You will serve as a senior individual contributor, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Data, Security, and Business stakeholders to design, govern, and scale modern AI solutions across the organization. The role combines solution architecture leadership with deep expertise in GenAI application design, agentic systems, and AI cloud architecture on AWS and Snowflake.

Enterprise AI Solution Architecture

• Define end-to-end solution architecture for enterprise AI, GenAI, and agentic AI applications aligned to business and technology strategy.

• Translate business workflows and operational challenges into scalable AI solution patterns, including autonomous and semi-autonomous agent use cases.

• Partner with product, engineering, data, and business teams to move AI and GenAI use cases from concept and pilot into production at enterprise scale.

• Create reusable architecture patterns, accelerators, reference implementations, and technical standards to speed AI adoption across teams.

AI Cloud & Platform Architecture

• Design and govern the cloud architecture for AI/ML/GenAI platforms across AWS and Snowflake.

• Define scalable patterns for compute, storage, networking, identity, security, environment setup, and enterprise integration across development, test, and production environments.

• Build architecture patterns for MLOps and LLMOps covering deployment, experimentation, model lifecycle management, monitoring, retraining, and version control.

• Ensure platform reliability, resilience, observability, compliance, and cost optimization for AI solutions in production.

• Establish architecture standards and reference frameworks that accelerate AI solution delivery across business domains.

Productionization, Engineering & Governance

• Collaborate with Data Engineering, Platform Engineering, DevOps, and Security teams to productionize AI and GenAI solutions in scalable cloud environments.

• Design CI/CD and automation patterns for model deployment, prompt/version management, testing, release control, and operational support.

• Implement monitoring for model drift, prompt drift, performance degradation, usage patterns, system health, and data integrity.

• Support governance, risk management, and responsible AI initiatives by embedding security, privacy, compliance, and auditability into solution design.

• Innovation & Technical Leadership

• Stay current with advancements in foundation models, multimodal AI, agent frameworks, orchestration patterns, and cloud-native AI services.

• Provide architecture guidance, design reviews, and technical mentorship across cross-functional teams.

• Contribute to enterprise-wide AI best practices, reusable frameworks, and technical decision-making to elevate the maturity of the AI ecosystem.

Qualifications & Experiences:

• Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, or higher in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related quantitative discipline.

• 8+ years of relevant experience in solution architecture, data science, machine learning, or AI engineering, with at least 2+ years of experience in Generative AI / LLM-based solutions.

• Demonstrated track record of designing and delivering production-grade AI/ML/GenAI solutions with measurable business impact.

• Strong experience in architecting enterprise AI solutions across business workflows, data ecosystems, and cloud platforms.

• Hands-on expertise in building and scaling GenAI and LLM applications, including prompt engineering, RAG architectures, semantic search, embeddings, and evaluation frameworks.

• Experience designing or supporting agentic AI systems, including orchestration, tool usage, memory, guardrails, and human oversight patterns.

• Deep understanding of cloud-native AI/ML architecture principles, including deployment patterns, platform reliability, observability, security, and cost optimization.

• Experience establishing reusable architecture patterns, technical standards, and governance controls for AI systems in enterprise environments.

• Strong collaboration skills with Product, Engineering, Data, Security, and Business teams in global, cross-functional settings.

Key Technical Skills & Expertise

• Hands-on experience supporting Generative AI and ML workloads on enterprise cloud platforms, including AWS and Snowflake

• Strong working knowledge of LLM-based systems, including model hosting, inference optimization, and integration into cloud-native architectures.

• Experience enabling RAG pipelines and GenAI applications through secure data access patterns, vector search, and enterprise data integration.

• Familiarity with embedding models, semantic search, and vector storage technologies, including Open Search vectors and Snowflake Cortex Search.

• Understanding of LLM evaluation considerations within platform architecture, including performance monitoring, cost optimization, and quality metrics.

• Experience designing MLOps and LLMOps architectures for model deployment, monitoring, retraining, and lifecycle governance.

• Strong expertise in AWS cloud architecture, including VPC, IAM, S3, ECS/EKS, Sage Maker, Bedrock, and observability tooling.

• Hands-on experience with infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized AI workloads (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Working knowledge of Snowflake architecture, including Snowpark, Snowpipe, Streams & Tasks, and Cortex AI.

• Deep understanding of Responsible AI, data security, privacy controls, and governance requirements for enterprise AI platforms.

How We Get Things Done…

This last bit is probably the most important! Here at WBD, our guiding principles are the core values by which we operate and are central to how we get things done.
