• Apply knowledge of traditional machine learning and generative AI technologies (e.g., LLMs, embeddings, RAG, AI agents) to support diverse solution needs
• Understand and work with orchestration layers and protocols (e.g., tool use, function calling, and emerging standards like MCP) that support multi-step reasoning and agentic workflows
• Serve as a technical resource to project teams by reviewing technical designs, contributing to code and system architecture, and mentoring junior engineers
• Collaborate with delivery leads, and client stakeholders to refine solution designs as project requirements evolve
• Participate in technology evaluation and internal discussions to help shape best practices and strengthen architectural consistency across teams
