  • Practical experience building or integrating AI, machine learning, Generative AI, or data-driven capabilities into software products; direct experience with Azure OpenAI, Databricks, LLM APIs, RAG, embeddings, or model evaluation is strongly preferred.
  • Comfortable working within a fast-paced, collaborative Agile/Scrum product environment with product owners, designers, architects, engineers, governance, and product success partners.
  • Able to follow architecture direction, contribute engineering design input, and make sound technical tradeoffs while remaining focused on hands-on asset development rather than architecture ownership.
