• Build Python services and microservices (APIs, workers) that expose AI capabilities; write clean, tested, maintainable code.
• Implement end-to-end RAG pipelines: connectors, parsing, chunking, embeddings, indexing, and retrieval using Azure AI Search and/or Pinecone.
• Create and operate agentic workflows with LangGraph, n8n, or Agent Development Kit; iterate on prompts/flows and automate offline/online evaluations
• Integrate AI into web applications (REST/GraphQL, events) with attention to input/output validation, rate limiting, and graceful degradation.
• Own CI/CD and containerization for your services; add telemetry (logs/metrics/traces), dashboards, and alerts; participate in on-call/incident response
• Apply Responsible AI, data protection, and access controls; contribute guardrails (filters, red-teaming, PII handling) in code.
