• Architect LLM orchestration layers for multi-step reasoning, tool usage, and AI-driven workflows.

• Define scalable patterns for agentic systems and domain-aware assistants.

• LLM Systems in Production:

• Integrate LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, open-weight models, or hybrid approaches) into secure, observable enterprise systems.

• Build AI service layers, orchestration APIs, caching, evaluation pipelines, and monitoring frameworks.

• Design for latency, cost optimization, safety, and reliability at scale.

• Establish measurable quality benchmarks and evaluation strategies for AI outputs.

• Responsible & Enterprise-Ready AI:

• Implement guardrails, policy enforcement, and hallucination mitigation mechanisms.

• Proven experience shipping LLM-powered applications (RAG, embeddings, prompt strategies, model adaptation).

• Deep understanding of vector search, semantic retrieval, and AI system evaluation.

• Experience building orchestration layers using frameworks such as LangChain, Semantic Kernel, LlamaIndex, or designing equivalent custom architectures.

• Strong cloud-native engineering experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

• Advanced Python skills and experience building scalable backend systems and APIs.

• Experience implementing observability, CI/CD, and monitoring forAI systems in production.

• Ability to balance innovation with enterprise constraints (security, compliance, reliability).
