  • Integrate AI agents with observability, incident management, deployment, and runtime platforms
  • Implement safety, reliability, and compliance guardrails (policy enforcement, rollback strategies, circuit breakers)
  • Optimise performance, cost, and latency through prompt engineering, caching, routing, batching, and streaming

Profile

  • Bachelor's degree in a quantitative or computational field (Master's / PhD preferred)
  • 7+ years of experience in applied ML, data science, or software engineering in production environments
  • Strong hands-on development in Python (or C++ / Java / Go), building large-scale applications
  • Practical expertise with LLMs: prompt engineering, fine-tuning/adaptation, RAG, tool-calling agents, vector search
  • Experience building secure, explainable, and reliable AI systems with strong governance and auditability
  • Comfortable collaborating across engineering, infrastructure, and operations teams with measurable business outcomes
