RESPONSIBILITIES
GenAI Solution Delivery
- Design, develop, test, and deploy LLM-powered assistants, agents, Custom GPTs, RAG solutions, APIs, and AI-enabled applications on ChatGPT Enterprise and other approved platforms.
- Implement prompt and context strategies, structured outputs, embeddings, vector or hybrid retrieval, tool calling, workflow orchestration, and human-in-the-loop controls.
- Build scalable RAG pipelines that ground responses in trusted enterprise data.
- Contribute to the GenAI capability roadmap through implementation of MCP-based Apps, ChatGPT Skills, plugins, Workspace Agents, and reusable integration patterns.
- Develop integration layers and event-driven workflows using APIs, RPA, n8n, and approved orchestration tools to connect systems and trigger agent workflows.
- Develop reusable Python services, libraries, templates, and evaluation utilities, and contribute TypeScript, React, or Next.js components when required by the solution.
Quality, Security, and Operations
- Implement automated unit, integration evaluation, and end-to-end tests, along with tracing and monitoring for retrieval quality, response consistency and reliability.
- Implement safeguards for prompt injection, data leakage, unauthorized retrieval, insecure tool execution, secrets exposure, excessive agency, and inappropriate model outputs.
- Apply secure integration and identity patterns using API gateways, OAuth, service identities, delegated authorization, role-based access control, secrets management, least privilege, and user-level auditability.
