• Partner closely with cross-functional teams to identify operational bottlenecks and translate them into efficient, code-driven AI automation, ensuring the AI framework integrates seamlessly with existing corporate infrastructure.
• Experience building agents and AI workflows
• Proven ability to translate "business pain" into "technical requirements."

• Deep proficiency in Python and frameworks such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, or AutoGen
• Previous experience building AI solutions for corporate functions like Finance, Legal (e.g. contract analysis), HR (e.g. policy retrieval) or Supply Chain (e.g. forecasting efficiency)
• Familiarity with automated evaluation pipelines like RAGAS, Arize, or other LLM-based evaluation metrics
• Experience with techniques such as quantization, speculative decoding, or efficient fine-tuning (LoRA/QLoRA) to improve model performance and reduce inference costs
• Previous experience in the autonomous vehicle, robotics or high-tech manufacturing sectors
• 8+ years in Data Engineering, Software Engineering, or Data Science, with at least 2+ years of hands-on experience deploying GenAI/LLMs in a production enterprise environment
