To be successful in this role you have:
- Experience in leveraging and critically evaluating AI integration into work processes, decision-making, and problem-solving. This includes using AI-powered tools, automating workflows, analyzing AI-driven insights, and exploring AI’s potential impact on business functions or the industry.
- 9+ years of experience designing and implementing complex enterprise applications, with proven success in conversational AI and NLP platforms.
- Strong development skills in Java and Python, including building production-grade AI/ML systems.
- Hands-on expertise in LLM-powered applications and tooling, including frameworks such as LangChain and LangGraph, and vendor APIs such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
- Deep understanding of agentic reasoning pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and advanced NLP techniques.
- Strong problem-solving abilities with a bias for action, a customer-first mindset, and the ability to operate effectively in fast-paced environments.
- Demonstrated analytical skills in evaluating model performance, optimizing inference latency and cost, and improving system efficiency end-to-end.
- Proven ability to translate complex AI concepts into clear business value and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Experience providing technical leadership and guiding successful AI/ML engineering projects across teams or domains.
- Bonus: Publications, technical blogs, conference talks, or open-source contributions in LLMs, GenAI, or AI systems engineering.
