What You’ll Do
Strategy & Roadmapping
- Develop a pragmatic GenAI roadmap aligned to business outcomes, data readiness, and the client’s platform environment (Google-first with multi-cloud components).
- Translate ambiguous opportunities into clear, value‑driven use cases (assistants, automation, knowledge retrieval, personalization) with risk/impact considerations.
- Lead hands-on workshops, labs, and office hours to upskill delivery teams and stakeholders on GenAI fundamentals (prompting, evaluation, safety considerations).
- Build playbooks, patterns, and reference examples tailored to the client’s workflows and technology stack.
- Guide the design of GenAI solutions using a mix of Databricks, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, and other ecosystem tools—without requiring deep specialization in any single platform.
- Support development of prototypes such as RAG workflows, lightweight agents, orchestration patterns, and reference integrations to demonstrate feasibility and best practices.
- Advise on the broader GenAI vendor ecosystem (model providers, vector DBs, eval frameworks, agent platforms).
- Compare tools across criteria like performance, cost, security, and implementation complexity; support proof‑of‑concept evaluations.
- Partner with data engineering, platform, and product teams to integrate GenAI responsibly within existing services and workflows.
- Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences, ensuring alignment around recommendations and decisions.
- Broad experience applying GenAI tools in real-world contexts, including prompting best practices, evaluation, and enterprise integration patterns.
- Familiarity with Databricks AI capabilities, Google Gemini, and AWS (especially AWS Bedrock) – with an emphasis on understanding platform strengths, constraints, and how they work together, not deep mastery of any one.
- Strong enablement skills: ability to coach engineers, analysts, and product partners through hands-on teaching, labs, and curriculum development.
- Working knowledge of building prototypes across Python/SQL notebooks, API‑based integrations, simple orchestration patterns, and multi-cloud environments.
- Clear, pragmatic communication skills with the ability to translate complex AI concepts into actionable guidance.
- Experience working with multiple GenAI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.) and understanding model selection tradeoffs.
- Familiarity with modern data and ML workflows (e.g., CI/CD for ML assets, vector search concepts, data transformation tools)
- Prior consulting experience preferred.
- Exceptional communication skills.
- Consulting experience preferred.
