What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience in solution architecture, application architecture, software engineering, AI/ML, or related technology disciplines.
  • Hands-on experience architecting and delivering enterprise Generative AI and LLM-based applications.
  • Proven experience building AI agents, copilots, RAG solutions, and LLM-powered workflows.
  • Strong knowledge of LLMs, prompt engineering, embeddings, vector search, retrieval strategies, agent orchestration, and model evaluation.
  • Experience with AWS cloud services, preferably Amazon Bedrock, and cloud-native application architectures.
  • Expertise with APIs, microservices, containers, CI/CD pipelines, DevOps practices, and distributed systems.
  • Strong understanding of AI security, responsible AI, governance, observability, and production monitoring.
