• Working with RAG frameworks: Use techniques such as chunking, hybrid search, query translation, similarity search, vector DBs, evaluation metrics, and ANN algorithms.
• Monitoring performance: Use observability services such as Datadog and Databricks for LLM observability and analytics.
• Keep track of latest research: Stay updated on advancements in fine-tuning, RLHF, and prompt engineering, including DSPy.
• System Design & Architecture: Translate high-level product requirements into scalable, modular designs following modern principles, microservices architecture, and cloud-native practices.
• Testing & Integration: Develop comprehensive test suites and perform integration, bug fixing, and quality assurance.
• Collaboration & Mentorship: Work with cross-functional teams and mentor junior engineers in LLM-based solutions.
• Agile Delivery: Plan and execute sprints, meet deadlines, and handle production issues across time zones.
• CI/CD & Version Control: Use CI/CD pipelines (like GitHub Actions) and maintain code in GitHub for releases.

Key Result Area

• LLM Solutions Delivery: Launch production-ready LLM applications on schedule.
• Quality & Automation: Achieve high-quality daily releases with extensive automated testing.
