Job Description:
Role Summary
The PGTL for AI for Data Management is accountable for designing, building, and scaling AI methods and agent‑based services that automate and augment every aspect of Data Management— discovery, classification, cataloging, lineage, data products and quality, to governance workflows, evidence generation, and delivery lifecycle orchestration. This role owns the vision, implementation, and product leadership for AI and AI Agents that turn metadata, policies, and operational signals into actionable automation and continuous intelligence across cloud and on‑prem environments.
Accountabilities:
- Product & Platform Ownership - Define and own the AI4DM product vision, roadmap, and value stream. Prioritize capabilities such as agent orchestration, LLM‑powered assistants, policy‑as‑code reasoning, and intelligent workflow automation.
- AI Methods & Agent Fabric - Establish reusable AI building blocks (LLMs, retrieval, guardrails, prompt/tooling frameworks, evaluators) and an agent fabric that can be composed to serve multiple Data Management capabilities.
- Lifecycle Coverage - Apply AI/Agents across the Data Management Delivery Lifecycle (plan → build → run → optimize) and governance activities (standards, procedures, attestations, evidence packs), ensuring repeatable and audit‑ready outcomes.
- Engineering Leadership - Lead cross‑disciplinary squads (data platform, catalog/lineage, governance, DevOps/MLOps). Set engineering standards, SLAs/SLOs, and automation‑first practices for reliable, scalable AI services.
- Enterprise Integration - Integrate AI services with catalog, lineage, metadata lake, pipelines, ticketing/ITSM, workflow engines, and observability platforms to enable closed‑loop automation and continuous improvement.
- Adoption & Change Enablement - Drive adoption via reference architectures, onboarding kits, playbooks, and reusable patterns; enable segments and domains to consume and extend AI capabilities safely and consistently.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design & Build AI Capabilities
- Architect LLM/RAG services, tool‑using agents, and rule‑learning components that perform discovery, classification, tagging, enrichment, lineage extraction, and data‑quality assistance.
- Implement guardrails, prompt standards, evaluation harnesses, and safety policies for reliable outputs and traceable decisions.
- Agentized Delivery Lifecycle
- Create delivery agents that assist with backlog curation, acceptance criteria, policy mapping, and evidence generation across Data Management initiatives.
- Orchestrate run‑time agents for monitoring metadata freshness, control evidence assembly, exception triage, and remediation workflow handoffs.
- Governance Automation
- Codify standards and procedures into policy‑as‑code libraries that agents can interpret and apply; generate dashboards and attestations that are audit‑ready by design.
- Automate glossary alignment, role/ownership attribution, and lifecycle checkpoints to reduce manual governance effort.
- Data Quality & Intelligence
- Use AI to recommend data‑quality rules, detect drift and anomalies, and prioritize high‑value exceptions; enable auto‑healing patterns where appropriate and safe.
- Provide insight packs that summarize posture, coverage, and improvement opportunities across domains and platforms.
- MLOps & Reliability
- Establish environments, pipelines, and telemetry for model lifecycle management (versioning, evaluation, rollback, observability).
- Define service SLOs (latency, accuracy, freshness) and implement monitoring/alerting for agent reliability and output quality.
- Stakeholder Leadership
- Partner with Data Governance, Privacy, Records & Information Management, Platform COEs, and domain teams to align policies, waivers, and technical design decisions.
- Facilitate QBRs and program reviews; report outcomes, risks, and next‑best actions.
Qualifications:
- 10+ years across data engineering, data governance/management; 5+ years leading platform/product teams at enterprise scale.
- 10+ years in AI/ML engineering and Data Science
- Demonstrated delivery of AI/agent‑based services for Data Management (e.g., catalog/metadata enrichment, lineage extraction, data‑quality assistance, governance automation).
- Strong architecture skills with LLMs, retrieval systems, agent frameworks, event/workflow orchestration, and integration with catalog/lineage/metadata platforms.
- Proficiency in MLOps (model versioning, evaluation, telemetry, rollback), observability for AI services, and policy‑as‑code patterns.
- Expertise in taxonomy/glossary design, metadata quality, and lifecycle governance practices.
- Excellent stakeholder leadership and communication across governance, platform, and delivery teams.
- Experience with multi‑cloud and federated on‑prem environments; privacy‑preserving techniques; synthetic data generation for test harnesses; reinforcement learning from feedback to improve agent performance.
