• Act as a trusted technical advisor across multiple customer domains, guiding architecture and implementation choices.
• Represent the work at major industry conferences and contribute to thought leadership both internally and externally.
• Partner with product and engineering teams to influence roadmap priorities based on field insights.

Requirements

• Hands-on experience building GenAI applications such as retrieval-augmented generation systems, multi-agent workflows, Text2SQL pipelines, or fine-tuned models.
• Familiarity with popular GenAI frameworks including HuggingFace, LangChain, and DSPy.
• Production deployment experience for generative AI, including evaluation pipelines and optimization strategies.
• Strong data science background using tools such as pandas, scikit-learn, and PyTorch.
• Proven track record deploying production-grade machine learning systems on AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Graduate degree in a quantitative discipline (computer science, engineering, statistics, operations research, or similar) or equivalent practical experience.
• Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Nice to have

• Experience working with unified data and AI platforms and Apache Spark for large-scale distributed datasets.
• Comfort with regular customer travel, roughly once every four to eight weeks.

Benefits and work setup

• Region-specific benefits package, with details provided during the hiring process.
