• Collaborate with engineering leads, product owners and enterprise architecture teams to align solution designs with security, governance and integration requirements

Requirements

• Proven track record as a senior software engineer or solutions architect with successful delivery across complex enterprise-scale engagements
• Hands-on expertise with large language models and generative AI (such as Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT or Google Gemini)
• Demonstrated capability in prompt engineering, model selection, context management, cost and latency optimization in production environments
• Background in designing and implementing agentic workflows involving tool use, memory systems, multi-step reasoning and human-in-the-loop patterns
• Solid foundation in enterprise architecture fundamentals including cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP), microservices, API design, data architecture and integration patterns
• Clear communication practices for navigating strategic design and hands-on implementation to validate architectural decisions through working prototypes

Nice to have

• Familiarity with multi-agent orchestration frameworks like CrewAI, AutoGen or LangGraph
• Knowledge of LLM evaluation, guardrails and observability tooling like LangSmith or Arize
• Practical understanding of AI development frameworks including LangChain, LlamaIndex or Hugging Face
• Exposure to vector database technologies like FAISS, Pinecone, Qdrant, Chroma or Weaviate
• Experience deploying AI-assisted code generation tooling at an organizational scale
• Background in enterprise integration platforms, event-driven architecture or data mesh
• Clear communication in Cantonese and English
