  • Develop and deploy AI-powered solutions using LLMs, RAG pipelines, and agentic workflows
  • Design production-grade machine learning systems and reusable AI components
  • Collaborate across teams to maximize reusability and reduce duplication
  • Contribute hands-on through coding, prototyping, experimentation, and model development
  • Establish best practices for model evaluation, monitoring, prompt engineering, and feature engineering
  • Partner with engineering and product teams to integrate AI into distributed systems
  • Translate complex business requirements into scalable technical solutions
  • Present technical tradeoffs and delivery options to stakeholders
  • Support continuous delivery and monitoring of AI systems in production environments
  • Drive cross-functional collaboration with product, engineering, data, and business teams
