● Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
● 10+ years of experience in software engineering, with a significant focus on architecture and technical leadership of large-scale, multi-tenant, or high-throughput platforms.
● Hands-on experience designing and delivering production Generative AI solutions — retrieval-augmented generation, LLM-based classification and extraction, or multi-phase agent workflows — including the schema validation, guardrails, and fallback logic that make them dependable.
● Proven experience architecting orchestration layers for distributed systems — event-driven and streaming pipelines, workflow and state management, idempotency, bounded retries, and recovery from partial failure — and applying the same discipline to AI and agent workflows.
● Strong grounding in search and retrieval: inverted indexes and lexical relevance scoring, vector and semantic similarity, hybrid retrieval and rank fusion, re-ranking, and the effect of data freshness on retrieval quality.
● Experience defining quality and evaluation practices for probabilistic systems — curated test sets, regression suites, automated and model-based scoring of output quality, and production tracing.
● Experience integrating heterogeneous enterprise systems and data sources at scale across streaming, API, and file-based patterns, with strong data modeling and schema governance instincts. ● programming skills in at least one backend language (Python, Node.js/TypeScript, or similar), with hands-on experience across document and relational data stores.
● Cloud-native engineering experience (Azure) with containerization, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and observability as default practice.
● Ability to lead technical design discussions, drive solution decisions, and operate as a hands-on technical lead within cross-functional and global teams.
● Strong verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with technical and business stakeholders.
