The Engineering Program Manager, AI and Data Platforms joins the AiDP team within the Information Systems and Technology group. This role focuses on building and shipping enterprise Generative AI and Data platforms for tens of thousands of employees. You will own end-to-end delivery, including scoping, roadmapping, and managing dependencies while defining evaluation criteria and quality signals for non-deterministic AI systems. Key responsibilities include tracking adoption, retention, and business impact while using AI agents and assistants to automate your own program operations like reporting and synthesis. The role requires proficiency in AI/ML concepts, including model deployment, RAG, agentic systems, and data pipelines. You must navigate the unique challenges of AI software, where launch readiness involves managing uncertainty and infinite use cases rather than simple pass/fail tests.
