- Evaluate and integrate AI models, frameworks, APIs, and cloud AI services.
- Design AI agents, workflows, integrations, and intelligent automation.

- Build strong client relationships and identify opportunities for future solutions and growth.
Continuous Improvement
- Stay current with emerging AI technologies and identify opportunities to apply them.
- Introduce relevant tools, frameworks, and best practices to the team and client projects.
Requirements
- 7+ years of software development experience, including senior or lead-level experience.
- Proven experience leading or mentoring engineers.
- Strong hands-on experience building AI/GenAI solutions in real-world projects.
- Solid understanding of LLMs, RAG, Agentic AI, embeddings, vector databases, and AI integrations.
- Strong programming skills in JavaScript/TypeScript and experience with React.js.
