• Experience with LLM and Agentic AI applications (agents, orchestration, tool/function calling).
• Strong understanding of RAG, retrieval, vector search.
• Experience with agentic frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, MCP).
• Testing/evaluation of non-deterministic AI systems, monitoring and observability.
• Software architecture fundamentals (APIs, distributed systems, integration patterns).
• Experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and cloud-native practices.
• DevOps practices including containers, CI/CD, IaC and observability.
• Ability to communicate complex concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Fluent professional English
• strong communication and stakeholder management
• mentoring and technical leadership

Mansioni

• Design end-to-end architecture for Generative and Agentic AI solutions (orchestration, AI agents, tool/function calling, RAG, memory/state).
• Maintain hands-on development, evolving prototypes into production-grade components.
• Define engineering standards and best practices for AI apps (reference architectures, testing, guardrails, observability, CI/CD).
• Architect scalable, secure AI systems considering performance and production requirements.
• Evaluate and select LLMs, frameworks, platforms, and tools.
• Lead design and code reviews, mentor engineers, raise engineering standards.
• Engage with clients to translate business requirements into technical architectures and document trade-offs.
• Contribute to technical documentation and thought leadership in Generative and Agentic AI.
