• Implement tool-use orchestration, prompt engineering, and evaluation frameworks (LLMOps) for reliable, auditable AI agent behaviour.

• Apply agentic automation to operational use cases including anomaly detection, data quality remediation, query diagnosis, documentation generation, and incident summarisation.

• Integrate AI agents with enterprise systems via MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectors, REST APIs, and event-driven messaging architectures.

• Build and maintain semantic data models that expose governed, business-ready datasets to Cortex Analyst and BI tools

• Engage in research and development of new AI and high-performance compute algorithms, models, and simulations along with their applications to solve complex business problems at client sites

• Work with large-scale datasets and utilize data preprocessing techniques to ensure high-quality input for training and production

• Implement and maintain efficient data storage and retrieval mechanisms for models and knowledge using appropriate tools

• Justify the value of model approaches in business problems

• Collaborate with teams from both business and technical sides, including users, use case representatives, business owners, engineers, architects, and UI designers, to achieve end-to-end project goals and integrate into production.
