• Practical experience with RAG architectures, embeddings, vector databases and knowledge-grounded AI systems
• Experience integrating GenAI solutions into enterprise applications using APIs, microservices, and containerized environments
• Familiarity with evaluation techniques for LLMs (factuality, hallucination mitigation, safety and quality benchmarking)
• Understanding of LLMOps practices, including versioning, monitoring, cost control, and governance
• Experience/exposure to designing agentic workflows, including planning, tool usage, memory and multi-step reasoning pipelines

Competencies

• LLM Systems Architecture & Delivery
• Architect scalable, reliable GenAI systems with focus on performance, cost, latency and user experience
• Establish reusable design patterns and frameworks for building and scaling agentic and LLM-based solutions
• Manage end-to-end delivery of GenAI systems from prototyping to production adoption
• GenAI & Agentic Systems Design
• Design and build generative AI and agent-based systems that support reasoning, planning, and self-directed execution of complex workflows
• Apply advanced techniques including RAG, prompt orchestration, memory management and tool/agent coordination
• Translate business problems into intelligent AI workflows combining human-in-the-loop and self-directed decision-making
• Apply responsible AI practices, including guardrails, bias mitigation, and safe system behavior
• Foundational AI/ML & Software Engineering
• Solid grounding in ML fundamentals and software engineering, enabling translation of business problems into robust, scalable AI/ML solutions
• Experience in designing, building and integrating production-grade systems using modern engineering practices (APIs, microservices, CI/CD, containerization)
• Ability to bridge classical ML approaches with emerging GenAI paradigms, applying the right techniques to deliver reliable and maintainable solutions
• Effectively leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code) to accelerate prototyping, improve engineering quality and enhance developer productivity in building AI/ML and GenAI solutions
• Global Collaboration & Enablement
