The Senior AI/ML Engineer Responsible AI operates as the enterprises hands-on mechanic for AI governance the engineer who gets under the hood of production models and AI solutions to diagnose remediate and certify them against responsible AI standards. This role works across business units embedding into project teams to evaluate models for fairness explainability robustness and compliance then engineers the fixes needed to bring solutions up to enterprise quality. Think of it as a technical quality inspector with a wrench: you dont just flag problems you fix them or build the tooling so teams can fix them at scale.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct hands-on responsible AI assessments of models and AI solutions across the enterprise evaluating bias fairness explainability data quality and robustness against established standards.

• Engineer remediation solutions when models fail governance checks rebalancing training data implementing fairness constraints adding explainability layers hardening against adversarial inputs or restructuring feature pipelines.

• Build maintain and extend the enterprise Responsible AI toolkit: reusable libraries automated testing harnesses scanning pipelines and validation APIs that integrate into the Enterprise MLOps Platform.

• Partner with Enterprise/BU Data Science and ML Engineering teams as an embedded responsible AI SME during model development providing real-time guidance and code-level support.

• Create and maintain model cards datasheets and technical documentation for governed models ensuring traceability from training data through production inference.

• Investigate production incidents related to model behavior (bias events unexpected outputs safety failures) and perform root cause analysis with actionable engineering fixes.

• Hands-on experience with MLOps platforms (AzureML Databricks SageMaker or Vertex AI) including pipeline orchestration model registry and monitoring.

• Demonstrated ability to diagnose and remediate model bias data quality or robustness issues in production system not just detect them.

• Experience building automated testing and validation frameworks for ML models (CI/CD integration automated test suites monitoring dashboards).

• Working knowledge of responsible AI regulations and frameworks (NIST AI RMF EU AI Act categories) sufficient to translate policy into code.

• Bachelors degree in Computer Science AI/ML Statistics or related field; Masters preferred.

Preferred Experience/Skills:

• Experience with LLM evaluation and safety testing (prompt injection detection hallucination measurement toxicity scoring RLHF/RLAIF concepts).

• Familiarity with agentic AI frameworks (LangChain LangGraph) and the governance challenges of tool-using agents.

• Healthcare pharmaceutical or financial services domain experience where model governance has direct regulatory implications.

• Experience with data lineage and provenance tooling (Azure Purview or similar).
