Full Job Description

The Lead AI Forward Engineer designs and guides the delivery of AI-powered solutions that reduce operational toil and accelerate technology teams across the CIO organization. This role operates as a forward-deployed solution architect and engineer, partnering closely with teams to identify opportunities, design end-to-end architectures, and drive implementations to production. You will own solution design from concept through deployment, ensuring solutions are scalable, maintainable, and extensible. You will evaluate emerging AI technologies, define repeatable patterns, and help build new capabilities through hands-on implementation, mentorship, and shared standards. **About the Role** **Solution Architecture and Delivery** * Identify high-impact opportunities to apply AI automation and intelligent agents across CIO technology teams. * Design end-to-end AI solutions, including workflows, integration patterns, data flows, and operational considerations. * Guide implementation from prototype to production, ensuring solutions meet reliability, security, and compliance expectations. * Define reusable architectural patterns and reference designs to enable broader adoption across teams. * Build scalable pipelines to collect and analyze inference‑ and workflow‑level telemetry, integrating with TR's data backbone. * Develop dashboards and reports providing clear visibility into performance, reliability, safety, and cost. * Ensure compliance with TR's AI standards for monitoring, governance, privacy, and auditability. **AI System Design and Technology Strategy** * Evaluate and recommend AI/ML technologies and platforms (LLM orchestration, agentic frameworks, cloud AI services) based on capability, cost, risk, and fit. * Design flexible architectures that can evolve with model/provider changes and emerging AI capabilities. * Apply sound judgment on when AI is appropriate vs. when simpler automation or traditional engineering approaches are better. * Establish and track SLOs/S
