Responsibilities

  • Bring strong working knowledge of generative AI, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise data architecture to product and platform decisions.
  • Partner with engineering and architecture teams to evaluate large language model architectures, AI agents, cloud deployment approaches, and enterprise data pipelines.
  • Participate meaningfully in technical and architecture reviews, as well as product and roadmap discussions.
  • Translate technical choices, constraints, and risks into clear business implications.
  • Help ensure that AI products are designed for enterprise scale, security, reliability, and reuse.
  • Establish a consistent approach for determining when Equinix should build AI capabilities internally, purchase commercial technology, or partner with external providers.
  • Evaluate cloud AI services, commercial model providers, open source technologies, and enterprise AI platforms.
  • Assess options based on business value, implementation time, cost, technical fit, security, operational complexity, and long term strategic importance.
  • Develop clear recommendations supported by financial analysis, technical assessment, and risk considerations.
  • Present recommendations to senior leaders and support informed investment decisions.
  • Guide decisions on prompt design, retrieval augmented generation, model customization, fine tuning, and model selection.
  • Help teams determine when a smaller model may provide better performance, cost, speed, or control than a larger model.
  • Partner with AI and machine learning engineering teams on deployment approaches across cloud, private infrastructure, and environments with strict performance requirements.
  • Evaluate emerging approaches such as AI agent coordination, model routing, and hybrid model deployment.
  • Use model performance data, evaluation results, user feedback, and business outcomes to guide product priorities.
  • Define product requirements for AI system reliability, availability, performance, monitoring, usage limits, and incident response.
  • Partner with engineering teams to improve visibility into AI system behavior, model performance, cost, and production issues.
  • Establish requirements that support traceability, explainability, auditability, fairness, privacy, and regulatory compliance.
  • Work with Legal, Security, Privacy, and AI Governance teams to incorporate company policies and responsible AI requirements into products and platforms.
  • Partner with Design to create clear user experiences that explain how AI is being used and provide appropriate user review, control, and approval.
  • Lead decisions involving tradeoffs among business value, delivery speed, technical complexity, cost, performance, and risk.
  • Establish clear and repeatable methods for evaluating major AI product and architecture decisions.
  • Help teams identify risks early and determine the appropriate level of governance and human oversight.
  • Balance the need to deliver value quickly with the requirements of security, reliability, and responsible AI.
  • Build alignment across Product, Engineering, Architecture, Legal, Information Security, Data, Design, and business functions.
  • Influence decisions through expertise, clear reasoning, and strong working relationships rather than direct authority.
  • Explain complex technical topics in clear language that is relevant to both technical and business audiences.
  • Work with senior leaders to connect AI investments to business priorities, customer value, productivity, and operational outcomes.
  • Develop trusted relationships so that teams engage early when evaluating important AI opportunities or decisions.
  • Stay current on developments in generative AI, including models, platforms, tools, enterprise applications, and deployment methods.
  • Evaluate which technologies are relevant to Equinix and which are unlikely to provide meaningful business value.
  • Develop informed perspectives that help guide product strategy, architecture, partnerships, and investment.
  • Represent Equinix’s perspective on generative AI internally and, where appropriate, with customers, partners, and the broader industry.

  • Experience working directly with large language models, prompt design, retrieval augmented generation, model customization, or fine tuning.
  • Experience evaluating model choices and understanding the tradeoffs among quality, speed, cost, security, and operational complexity.
  • Experience leading build, buy, and partner decisions for AI, machine learning, data, or enterprise technology capabilities.
  • Strong understanding of machine learning pipelines, model deployment, model serving, evaluation, and feedback processes.
  • Working knowledge of distributed systems, cloud architecture, APIs, and enterprise platforms.
  • Experience designing shared platform capabilities that can support multiple products, teams, or business functions.
