Job Summary

The AI Engineer supports system-specific implementations that embed AI/ML and agentic automation to accelerate metadata identification, extraction, enrichment, and documentation.

• Implement agentic/GenAI workflows for metadata documentation: Design and implement agentic AI patterns to support autonomous or semi-autonomous metadata exploration, summarization, and documentation generation—while maintaining human validation and auditability.

• Own the metadata harvesting plan: Define scope, sequencing, cadence, source coverage, extraction methods, staging, validation, and handoffs; maintain decision logs and traceability for stewardship and governance review.

• Human-in-the-loop steward validation: Facilitate structured in-person/virtual review cycles with data stewards to validate AI-generated metadata, resolve discrepancies, and continuously improve extraction/enrichment accuracy.
