- Apply advanced prompt engineering techniques, including instruction design, few-shot sets, structured outputs, and tool/agent prompts
- Lead feasibility assessments to select the right approach among prompting, RAG, fine-tuning, or classical ML
- Design evaluation frameworks, including LLM-as-a-judge methods, custom metrics (recall@k, precision@k), and go/no-go gates

- Hands-on RAG experience covering chunking, embeddings, retrieval, reranking, and evaluation
- Proven MLOps/LLMOps track record using tools such as MLflow, Weights & Biases, or similar
- Practical evaluation design skills, including metrics, dataset curation, and structured experimentation
- Experience with event-driven architectures, APIs, and microservices
- Strong communication skills, equally comfortable engaging engineering teams and senior stakeholders
- Preferred: experience with the Databricks MLOps platform, LLM fine-tuning, building agentic GenAI systems, Infrastructure as Code, security and observability for AI services, a classical ML background, and open-source contributions
- What about languages?
- English: Advanced (required for effective communication with global teams)
- How much experience must I have?
- 6+ years of experience building and deploying AI solutions in production environments, with a strong track record across RAG, agentic systems, and MLOps/LLMOps.
