Build and shape user experiences using context engineering and generative AI capabilities.
Design and build scalable and performant agentic systems, taking throughput and latency into account, recognizing how and where to apply parallel processing, stream processing, and asynchronous I/O.
Evaluate the performance and quality of the agentic solutions you are building against customer use cases.
Solve challenges with probabilistic software, ensuring defensive error handling, streaming data optimization, caching, and explainability.
Implement logging, tracing mechanisms, and tools to facilitate debugging, diagnostics, and performance tracking.
Engage in light DevOps tasks, leveraging infrastructure best practices to deploy and monitor AI-driven systems.
Requirements
Adaptable and Innovative Mindset: Fearless about learning new technologies and excited to work in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment. Possess a problem-first approach with a careful and principled methodology for building resilient systems.
