• Rapidly build, test, and iterate on proof-of-concepts (PoCs) for real-world business challenges.
• Mentor other IT staff and provide technical leadership across the IT organization.
• Collaborate closely with business stakeholders and cross-functional teams to productionize AI applications.
• Stay current with emerging LLM frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, n8n, etc.) and integrate them into enterprise workflows.

Desired Soft Skills

• Strategic Thinking – ability to translate business problems into technical AI solutions.
• Collaboration & Influence – skilled at working with stakeholders across business and technology teams.
• Communication Excellence – can clearly explain complex AI/ML concepts to non-technical audiences.
• Leadership & Mentorship – capable of guiding other engineers, fostering best practices, and raising overall team capability.
• Adaptability – thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with shifting priorities.
• Problem-Solving Mindset – approaches challenges with creativity, pragmatism, and a solution-oriented attitude.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, or a related field.
• Software engineering experience, with work background focused on AI/ML.
• Solid understanding of software engineering practices, CI/CD pipelines, and DevOps in Azure.

• Experience with LLM orchestration frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, n8n, etc.).
• Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Qdrant, Azure Cognitive Search).
