• Identity, endpoint, and infrastructure security products (e.g., Active Directory security, endpoint protection, privileged access, configuration management).
• Internal AI Agents and Experience Platforms where data must be securely scoped, versioned and observable across multiple domains/tenants.

Key Responsibilities

GitOps‑Driven Platform & Pipeline Engineering (GitHub, Azure DevOps, Terraform)

• Design, build and operate data and AI platforms as code, using Git‑based workflows as the source of truth.
• Implement pull‑request‑driven change control, automated testing and CI/CD pipelines.
• Define and maintain Infrastructure‑as‑Code for data and AI systems to ensure consistency, traceability, and rollback capability.

AI & ML Data Pipeline Engineering (Azure ML Feature Store, Databricks Feature Store)

• Design and maintain scalable ETL/ELT pipelines that support:
• AI/ML model training and retraining
• Feature engineering and feature stores
• Batch and near‑real‑time inference workflows
• Design pipelines backwards from business requirements while accounting for data freshness, latency and reliability.

GenAI & RAG Enablement (Azure OpenAI and AI Search, internal Netwrix data sources; internal AI agents, secured APIs)

• Support Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG) and internal AI agents by curating, indexing and refreshing select data sources.
• Build and operate pipelines for:
• Embedding generation and lifecycle management

• Context retrieval and prompt‑adjacent data flows

Data Quality, Governance & Observability (Azure Monitor, ML monitoring, Application Insights)

• Implement proactive monitoring for:
• Data quality and schema integrity
• Pipeline performance and failure modes
• Distribution shifts and data drift impacting AI systems
• Integrate security, privacy and compliance controls directly into pipelines by design. Must partner with both Product and Corporate Security teams.
• Maintain clear, auditable data lineage, ownership and documentation.

MLOps & Production Readiness (Azure ML Model Registry, Runbooks, operational handoff documentation)

• Partner with Product and Engineering teams to operationalize models by:
• Integrating data pipelines into MLOps workflows
• Supporting model versioning, retraining and rollback strategies
• Enabling observability across data and model performance
• Ensure AI systems/integrations are supportable by IT Operations and Solutions team members; train or provide guidance at a regular cadence.

Cloud & Platform Engineering (Azure Storage, Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure Container Registry)

• Build and operate Azure‑based data and AI platforms, including storage, compute, orchestration and containerized services.
• Optimize platforms for cost efficiency, performance, reliability and scale in a global, mostly remote work environment.
• Support hybrid or restricted environments where AI systems must meet enterprise or regulatory constraints.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with:
• • IT Operations & Platform Engineering (Intune, Entra ID)
  • Security & Governance teams (Netwrix,Drata)
