• Integrate AI/LLM and agent-based services through APIs and approved application interfaces, including tool/function calling, workflow orchestration, structured outputs, and application guardrails.
• Implement application logging, exception handling, auditing, and operational diagnostics.
• Write unit, integration, and automated application tests and participate in peer code reviews.
• Troubleshoot and optimize issues across the front end, backend, APIs, database, and integration layers.
