As AI adoption expands company-wide we need a hands-on expert who can operate maintain evaluate and evolve our AI systems in productionensuring consistent quality robustness security and measurable business impact for teams across dLocal.
In this role you will act as both an enabler and a technical authority. You will work alongside Engineering and cross-functional teams to ensure our AI systemsbuilt both in-house and leveraging best-in-class third-party toolsoperate at the highest standards of performance and efficiency. You will maintain and customize AI-powered information systems including prompt libraries skills frameworks orchestration layers integrations evaluation pipelines and observability tooling.
This position requires strong analytical capabilities deep systems thinking and the ability to rigorously compare models architectures and tools to consistently achieve the best possible outcomes
What Will I Be Doing
Operate & Maintain AI Systems: Ensure reliability scalability and observability of AI-powered services deployed on AWS including LLM-based systems and agentic workflows used across the organization.
Architect Agent Behavior: Design and version-control complex system prompts ensuring agents have clear personas robust guardrails and precise tool definitions.
Curate Knowledge Context: Manage the Golden Corpus for our agents and RAG systems optimizing data chunking and metadata strategies to ensure accurate information retrieval and proper execution context.
Architect & Optimize AI Workflows: Design and continuously improve prompt libraries skills repositories orchestration frameworks and automation pipelines that power internal AI tools.
Model Evaluation & Benchmarking: Evaluate and compare AI models (LLMs and foundation models) across quality latency cost safety and robustness.
Implement Automated Evals: Build Ground Truth datasets and design LLM-as-a-Judge pipelines to rigorously test agent performance before deployment.
Enablement & Best Practices: Provide reusable components documentation and operational standards that empower engineering teams and internal stakeholders to safely leverage AI capabilities.
Experimentation & Continuous Improvement: Drive structured experimentation cycles (A/B testing offline evals shadow testing) to iteratively improve system performance.
Governance & Guardrails: Implement versioning strategies access controls auditability and responsible AI guardrails aligned with a regulated fintech environment.
