You will deliver the set technical direction to production standard, working autonomously within a defined problem, building and testing tool use, retrieval pipelines, and agent workflows, integrating AI capabilities into enterprise systems, and contributing to evaluation, observability, and guardrails. You will hold a high bar on code quality, flag risks and blockers early, and work alongside host-function stakeholders to make sure what you build fits real workflows, not assumed ones. You'll also support handover and capability-building so the solution is owned and operable after the squad moves on., * Building prototypes and proofs of concept and ship agentic AI solutions to production standards within a defined technical approach. * Implementing and testing tool use, retrieval pipelines, and agent workflows. * Contributing to evaluation, observability, and guardrails for agentic systems. * Integrating AI capabilities into existing enterprise workflows and systems. * Maintaining high code quality and documentation so patterns can be reused. * Flagging technical risks and blockers early. * Interface with technical peers to finalize requirements and complete moderately complex bug fixes. * Building solutions for reuse, contributing to patterns, reference implementations and starter kits so work done in one function can be picked up by another. * Implementing solutions to capture outcome data against baselines. * Work alongside host-function stakeholders to ensure the build fits real workflows, not assumed ones. * Supporting handover and capability-building in the host function so the solution is owned and operable after the squad moves on. ## Related Videos - [Do TypeScript without TypeScript](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/327-do-typescript-without-typescript) - [Are Code Reviews Worth It?
