Job Duties and Responsibilities
Candidates must be willing to participate in at least one in-person interview, which may include a live whiteboarding or technical assessment session.
Multi-brand telecom and technology environments face operational complexity and resource inefficiencies when deploying large-scale artificial intelligence models across hybrid infrastructures. This role addresses these challenges by driving the strategic evaluation and deployment of advanced AI architectures through statistical rigor and predictive modeling. The position designs autonomous agentic AI pipelines and governance frameworks to guarantee model reliability across cloud-native and on-premises environments. Delivering high-fidelity simulations and benchmarks directly resolves subscriber churn and optimizes network operational efficiency.
What Success Looks Like (Objectives)
Optimize model performance and cost-efficiency by benchmarking execution pathways between cloud-native and on-premises environments for large-scale deployments.
Lead the design and statistical validation of multi-agent architectures using LangGraph and AWS Bedrock to automate network provisioning and achieve autonomous operational workflows.
Enhance network efficiency by developing high-accuracy predictive models for churn prevention, anomaly detection, and time-series forecasting.
Maintain enterprise model integrity and long-term validity through automated experiment tracking, versioning, and drift detection using Databricks Unity Catalog.
Translate complex quantitative outputs into actionable executive scorecards and Digital Twin policy simulations to guide business strategy, vendor evaluations, and alignment with NIST AI RMF standards.
Skills, Experience and Requirements
