- Implement agentic architectures using frameworks such as LangChain LangGraph CrewAI AutoGen or equivalent.
- Define agent communication patterns memory management strategies and tool-use interfaces.
- Build and maintain a library of reusable agent components and interaction patterns for the team.
LLM Integration & Tool Development
- Integrate LLM APIs including Anthropic Claude and other leading models into internal tools and workflows.
- Develop AI-powered applications across the teams tool portfolio including automation tools decision support systems and analytics assistants.
- Design and implement prompt engineering strategies including system prompts few-shot examples and chain-of-thought patterns.
- Build and optimize Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines that leverage the teams data infrastructure.
AI Architecture & Standards
- Establish the teams AI development standards architectural patterns and evaluation frameworks.
- Define best practices for model selection prompt management agent orchestration and AI system observability.
- Evaluate and benchmark new models APIs and tooling as the AI landscape evolves.
- Contribute to technical roadmap planning and tool prioritization alongside the team lead.
Data & Infrastructure Collaboration
- Collaborate closely with the Data Engineer to design AI-ready data pipelines feature stores and retrieval layers.
- Ensure AI systems are grounded in reliable high-quality data from the teams warehouse and lake infrastructure.
- Contribute to the design of shared infrastructure vector databases embedding pipelines model serving layers.
Stakeholder Collaboration & Delivery
- Work directly with business stakeholders to identify use cases define requirements and deliver AI-powered solutions.
