- This resource will technically be supporting the FAS corporate marketing team, but it is still a technical role.

- They will report to Jeff, but will work in partnership with a Product Owner from the marketing team

- They will collaborate with the GenAI team where we just placed Bhanu- they will collaborate with Bhanu, the tech lead, etc., but they are not part of this team. They will be an independent, technical resource supporting the marketing team

- It is important to note this is a standalone position. It is a lead role in that they are driving technical direction but there are no developers or team reporting into them

Technical Scope:

- This is not a traditional application development role, it is less about long term app builds and more project-based technical problem solving

- We need someone who can understand, integrate and advise on third-party tools and APIs, specifically third-party AI tools. An example would be Writer AI, a tool the marketing team is currently integrating

- They will need to work with the marketing team, interpret their needs and translate them into technical solutions

- They will be advising on build vs. buy decisions, aka should they integrate a vendor product or build inhouse. They are guiding on technical direction rather than just executing on assigned tasks (can't stress this point enough!)

- Key Skills:

· Expected to have development skills, especially backend (Python).
· May need to write and test code, especially related to APIs or internal integrations
· Not frontend-focused, though general familiarity may be helpful
· API integration expertise (critical).
· Understanding of AI tools and infrastructure (e.g., AWS stack, Bedrock, SageMaker, etc.)
· Experience with content generation/summarization tools like Writer API is a bonus
· Needs enough technical breadth to understand what's possible in-house vs. what needs to be outsourced
