Build end-to-end AI workflows (data, model/agent logic, evaluation, deployable prototype)
Develop AI agents utilizing tools (function calling, routing, multi-step plans, state/memory, orchestration)
Apply AI-first principles: grounding, uncertainty handling, safe-by-design patterns
Design and run evaluations with golden datasets, automated checks, and human-in-the-loop review
Implement fine-tuning/adaptation workflows (dataset prep, training, versioning, validation)
Compare ML approaches (baselines, feature pipelines, metrics, error analysis) and blend with GenAI when helpful
Integrate PoCs into real systems via APIs/services and instrument monitoring (latency, cost, quality)
Produce demos and documentation to support go/no-go decisions and scalable next steps

Strong Python engineering, clean code, debugging, testing discipline, ability to ship prototypes quickly
Hands-on GenAI/LLM experience using cloud APIs and delivering beyond notebooks
Proven experience building AI workflows and agents that use tools (orchestration, routing, structured outputs, state handling)
Solid understanding of AI-first principles (model failure, hallucinations, grounding, evaluation-driven development)
Experience with evaluation and testing for AI systems (unit/integration tests, model-quality evaluation)
Experience with fine-tuning or model adaptation workflows and knowing when not to fine-tune
Solid ML fundamentals (data prep, training/inference, metrics, baselines, model selection)
Strong communication skills: explaining results, risks, and tradeoffs to technical and non-technical stakeholders
