- Design and implement AI-driven automation features (chat, recommendations, decision support).
- Analyze user behavior and model responses to continuously improve AI performance.
- Collaborate with product, design, and engineering teams to ship end-to-end AI features.
- Contribute to AI system design decisions focused on usability and real-world impact.

- Familiarity with prompt engineering, structured outputs, and tool use patterns.
- Experience building or integrating AI features into real products.
- Strong understanding of API-based system integration.
- Ability to evaluate AI outputs critically using data and user feedback.
- Experience with experimentation, A/B testing, or evaluation frameworks.
