• Ensure AI solutions meet security, privacy, and compliance requirements (PII handling, data residency, access control)
• Apply AI guardrails, validation rules, and safety controls to prevent hallucinations or misuse
• Establish evaluation metrics for AI agents (accuracy, reliability, latency, business impact)

• Partner with product managers, architects, platform teams, and business stakeholders to refine AI use cases
• Document solution designs, integration approaches, and operational runbooks
• Support PoCs, pilots, and production rollouts of AI initiatives
• Provide knowledge transfer and technical guidance to internal teams
