What this job asks for AI summary
This is the senior technical anchor of a major AI programme at OneSubsea (an SLB company), responsible for defining how the business specifies, consumes, and applies data and AI capabilities built on SLB's enterprise platform. The role spans data product specification, AI/ML solution architecture, and consumption-side design — including AI agents and analytics — while providing technical leadership to a small team of data engineers and junior architects and acting as the primary interface with the central platform team.
Senior level
“or” means any one of them counts — you don't need all of them.

Why we read it this way (8)
The posting names no specific US city or metro — location is unspecified beyond 'U.S. roles', so no CBSA could be determined.
SOC classification is a genuine judgement call: the role is primarily about data product specification and consumption architecture on a cloud/enterprise platform (pointing to 15-1243 Database Architects), but the heavy AI/ML solution architecture and agent design work could also support 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other). 15-1243 was chosen as the primary because data architecture and data product design are the stated core of the role.
No compensation range, employment type, or degree requirement is stated anywhere in the posting.
Google Cloud (BigQuery, Dataplex) and data-mesh/federated architecture experience are explicitly framed as 'ideally' preferred, not hard gates.
AI agent and API integration experience are framed as 'ideally' preferred alongside the AI/ML architecture requirement.
Energy sector / industrial data experience is explicitly called 'a plus, not essential' and has been omitted from the skills list as it names no concrete technology.
The posting's supplemental section is standard SLB US legal boilerplate and contains no additional role requirements.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): AI/ML solution architecture.
