• Python:strong production-quality Python — typing, testing, packaging, and async patterns.
• APIs & services:REST and/or gRPC; event-driven patterns; API design and versioning.
• MLOps fundamentals:experiment tracking, model and prompt versioning, automated evaluation, and monitoring of AI systems in production.
• Multi-model experience:familiarity with working across LLM providers (e.g., Azure OpenAI, third-party models via Azure AI Foundry) and adapting to provider-specific patterns such as tool use, structured outputs, and long-context handling.
• Experience with embedded/on-platform AI tooling such as ServiceNow Now Assist or similar ITSM AI capabilities.
