Role Description
Role Summary
- Customer-facing technical owner for opportunities and implementations.
- Convert media, data and AI problems into secure, scalable and production-ready solutions.
- Own architecture from discovery and pilot through engineering, deployment and handover.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead discovery with customer business, product, data, AI, security and engineering teams.
- Define use cases, target workflows, architecture, integrations, data flows, non-functional requirements and roadmaps.
- Preserve a reusable, model-agnostic core while allowing controlled customer configuration.
- Assess data readiness, model fit, integration effort, cost, assumptions and delivery risks.
- Support proposals and SOWs, and remain accountable through architecture reviews and production sign-off.
AI, Platform &
- Cloud Architecture
- Apply deep knowledge of video/multimodal AI, computer vision, speech AI, LLMs, embeddings, vector search, reranking, RAG, recommendations and agentic workflows.
- Turn model outputs into reliable decisions using metadata, ontology, business rules, confidence thresholds, ranking, temporal logic, human review and feedback.
- Define model evaluation across accuracy, precision, recall, relevance, temporal grounding, latency, throughput, explainability and cost.
- Design AI pipelines for ingestion, preprocessing, retrieval, inference, validation, feedback and continuous evaluation.
- Architect APIs, microservices, event-driven services, workflow engines, vector databases, model serving and enterprise integrations.
- Integrate with MAM/DAM, CMS, media supply chain, data platforms, OTT/player, AdTech, localization and observability systems.
- Define Hyperscaler deployment, Kubernetes/container patterns, security, resilience, observability, DR and cost controls.
- Shape MLOps for model/prompt versioning, deployment,
monitoring, drift detection, rollback, lineage and cost tracking.
