Build, and own the enterprise AI API layer including internal APIs and SDKs providing standardized, secure access to AI capabilities across the organization.
Build on the established API design standards, versioning policies, and deprecation protocols ensuring the platform's interfaces are reliable, developer-friendly, and maintainable.
Create integration of external AI services, including Anthropic Claude API and other LLM providers, ensuring connectivity is secure, governed, and operationally robust.
Design API gateway and rate-limiting framework for LLM access, balancing cost controls, fairness, and service reliability under variable load.
Set and uphold technical standards for AI platform engineering by establishing coding standards, design principles, testing requirements, and documentation expectations.
Develop technical guides, engineering playbooks, and reference implementations that give development teams a clear starting point for common AI patterns.
