Own the platform’s cloud architecture and deployments on Microsoft Azure , including Azure Container Apps and Azure Static Web Apps , along with monitoring, scaling, and production configuration.
Architect and build responsive frontend applications using Angular or React for an intuitive interface to data and analytical tools.
Implement authentication and authorization using Microsoft Entra ID (App Registrations, tokens, and Entra Groups), and extend role-based access control (RBAC) down to the database level.
Coordinate with GPS IT to integrate security groups, pipelines, APIs, and applications into enterprise infrastructure with appropriate security, access controls, and long‑term support.
Set up automated CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code for reliable, repeatable platform deployment.
Design and implement AI/ML-enabled workflows such as predictive analytics, process-structure-property models, and LLM‑assisted tools to support faster, higher‑quality NPD decisions.
Convert complex materials science, characterization, and regulatory/quality requirements into structured data models, workflows, and system logic.
Collaborate with AR scientists and engineers, the Innovation team, and GPS IT to identify opportunities, define requirements, and deliver scalable solutions.
Document platform architecture and solutions, and establish reusable frameworks and standards to scale capability beyond the initial data family.
