  • Very strong experience with developing RESTful APIs in Python using frameworks like FastAPI and integrate third-party services, UI components and APIs
  • Hands-on working with Docker-based deployments, and leveraging GitHub for code repo and version control is MUST
  • Own end-to-end architecture: LLM selection, context engineering, microservices, integrations, and UI.
  • Build prototypes, storyboards, demos, accelerators, and reusable agentic blueprints.

  • Lead PoCs, pilots, and phase0 MVPs across industries.
  • Create thought leadership, reusable assets, and mentor engineering teams.
  • Collaborate with hyper-scalers and product partners to craft next generation AI-led experiences.
  • Strong communication skills and articulation skills
  • Bachelor's Degree or Equivalent Experience

This will help you stand out:
