Responsibilities

Design, build, and ship customer-facing AI features end-to-end, including RAG system design (chunking, embedding selection, retrieval, re-ranking) and agentic workflows.
Ship external customer-facing LLM-based features into production, with safe production deployment practices.
Conduct hands-on evaluation-pipeline and observability work: drift detection, quality monitoring.
Reason independently about retrieval architecture using strong data fluency.
Apply real engineering rigor to the Context Development Lifecycle (CDLC): generate, evaluate, distribute, and observe the context that powers AI agents.
Multiply the output and quality of the squad you join, and share patterns/practice beyond your immediate team so adoption compounds across the organization.
Embed directly into a client squad as a hands-on Individual Contributor.
