- Implement QA scoring rubrics for the post-call analysis platform, enabling automated evaluation of sentiment, compliance, accuracy, and resolution effectiveness across 100% of calls
- Configure Bedrock Guardrails for PHI/PII redaction, hallucination detection, prompt-injection protection, and content filtering on every inference call
- Evaluate new Amazon Nova model releases (Nova Pro, Nova Lite, Nova Micro) against production benchmarks for accuracy, latency, and cost efficiency, proposing model swaps through change management
- Collaborate with the Integration Engineer to ensure Bedrock inference outputs are properly formatted for delivery to Salesforce (via Lambda and Platform Events) and to Verint
- Monitor model performance using CloudWatch metrics and QuickSight dashboards; identify and remediate model drift at Day 30 and Day 60 re-benchmarking intervals
- Participate in biweekly sprint demos, presenting AI performance data, prompt tuning results, and accuracy metrics to TriWest stakeholders
