  • Architect and optimize agentic AI systems (e.g., tool-using agents, multi-step orchestration, multi-agent patterns) and integrate with enterprise platforms.
  • Lead end-to-end RAG implementations including ingestion, preprocessing, chunking, embeddings, indexing, retrieval, orchestration, and evaluation.
  • Drive GenAI model build activities (training, fine-tuning, validation), benchmarking, and continuous improvement of quality, safety, latency, and cost.
  • Oversee model deployment and production operations (monitoring, observability, incident response, iteration).
  • Lead development pods (planning, quality, delivery), including code/design reviews, mentoring, and engineering best practices.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders (product, data, security, risk/compliance) to deliver scalable, maintainable solutions.
  • Evaluate emerging GenAI/agent frameworks and cloud services; prototype and recommend fit-for-purpose approaches.
