• Build and contribute to scalable, production-ready software solutions.
• Take ownership of assigned workstreams from prototype development through production deployment and support.

AI & Automation

• Contribute to the design and implementation of AI-powered solutions, including LLM-based applications, agentic workflows, and automation tools.
• Support the integration of AI capabilities into commercial and operational processes.

Data & Integration

• Develop and maintain data pipelines, semantic models, and supporting data assets.
• Integrate systems through APIs and enterprise platforms.
• Collaborate closely with Commercial Operations and Sales teams to deliver high-impact solutions quickly and effectively.
