- Design and optimize prompts using prompt engineering techniques for LLMs to achieve desired outcomes
- Work with Large Language Models (LLMs) such as Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, etc. via APIs or cloud AI platforms to develop solutions for specific tasks
- Evaluate and test GenAI features: building test sets, grounding and citation checks, LLM-as-judge scoring, and production quality monitoring

- Experience building agentic AI systems (agents with tool/function calling, planning or task decomposition, and multi-step execution), or strong working knowledge of agent architectures and frameworks such as LangGraph, CrewAI, Strands, or AutoGen
- Working knowledge of the modern LLM stack: prompt engineering, RAG, embeddings, and structured outputs
- Experience in one or more areas of machine learning / artificial intelligence such as classification, clustering, anomaly detection, sentiment analysis, and NLP problems such as text categorization, topic modeling, entity extraction, and text summarization
- Ability to think critically about AI or ML system design, including model selection, tradeoffs, and real-world deployment considerations
- Experience evaluating AI/ML systems: testing, measuring accuracy, and catching hallucinations
- Programming experience using Python and iPython notebooks; good SQL skills
- Excellent communication skills to communicate with wide technical and business users
- Demonstrate ability to quickly learn new tools and paradigms to deploy cutting edge solutions
- Adept at simultaneously working on multiple projects, meeting deadlines, and managing expectations
- Experience with prompt engineering techniques such as few-shot learning, zero-shot learning, and chain-of-thought prompting
- Experience with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure) and their AI/ML services such as AWS Bedrock, AWS SageMaker, Azure OpenAI, or Azure AI Foundry, and core services such as S3 and Lambda functions
- Experience in using deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or Keras, etc.
- Experience in MLOps to operationalize the model building process and monitor models in production
- Familiarity with search and vector retrieval such as Elasticsearch, Solr, or vector databases
- Familiarity with version control systems, specifically Git, and experience with platforms like Azure DevOps
- Familiarity with Linux and cloud CLI tools
- Experience creating interactive data visualizations and dashboards in Tableau, Power BI, or other tools
