Associate AI Engineer, OI&A

Associate Data Scientist, Obesity Intelligence & Analytics

What you will do

You will deliver advanced data science, software engineering, and GenAI solutions that enable commercial and non-commercial functions across the enterprise.

You will maintain technical continuity across the lifecycle, working with business stakeholders and multidisciplinary teams to shape the simplest viable solution, coordinate execution, make delivery trade-offs, remove blockers and contribute hands-on to critical components. The role combines enterprise solution engineering, applied AI/ML, GenAI, RAG and agents, integration, evaluation, MLOps/LLMOps, security, governance and production operations. Technical accountability complements, but does not replace, explicit product, business, compliance and long-term support ownership.

Responsibilities
  • Lead discovery by clarifying the business workflow, users, intended outcome, value hypothesis, acceptance criteria, operational constraints, data readiness, integration dependencies and production implications;
  • Translate complex problems into an executable solution design, delivery plan, technical workstreams, estimates, milestones, dependencies, risks, acceptance criteria, release approach and support transition.
  • Build, prototype, review or contribute to critical production components to prove feasibility or unblock delivery, including AI-enabled applications, RAG, bounded agents, intelligent automation, APIs and integrations.
  • Define and maintain the integrated architecture across applications, workflows, data and knowledge pipelines, models, retrieval, agents, APIs, enterprise integrations, identity, access controls, observability and human review.
  • Orchestrate delivery across full-stack software and AI engineering, data science, ML and context engineering, testing, platform, security, compliance and business roles;
  • Establish integrated testing, AI evaluation and governance covering functional, performance, security, data, model, retrieval, generation, tool-use, human-oversight and operational behavior with explicit release thresholds.
  • Coordinate production readiness through CI/CD, staged release, monitoring, logging, SLOs, rollback, recovery, runbooks and controlled deployment; support early issue triage, stabilization and transition to the operating owner.
  • Communicate evidence, risks, trade-offs and status clearly; measure adoption and value and convert delivery lessons into reusable components, accelerators, standards, documentation and playbooks.
