• Embed governance, compliance, and auditability controls, including human approvals, policy enforcement, and traceable audit records.

• Support production implementation through monitoring, observability, performance validation, scalability planning, and release readiness activities.

• Contribute reusable frameworks, documentation, best practices, and technical guidance to accelerate AI adoption across engineering teams.

• Strong proficiency in leveraging agentic coding tools like Claude Code, Codex and similar.

• Working knowledge of agent engineering concepts, including tool/function calling, MCP, retrieval techniques, prompt management, and orchestration patterns.

• Experience evaluating AI systems through automated testing, model-based assessment, regression testing, and test-set development.

• Familiarity with operating AI systems in production environments, including observability, tracing, reproducibility, cost management, and version control.

• Experience with data engineering (including SQL and at least one non-relational or large-scale data store)

• Experience in DevOps, CI/CD practices, Git-based repositories (ex. GitHub, Bitbucket), and data governance, privacy, and security requirements.
