- Implement tool-use orchestration, prompt engineering, and evaluation frameworks (LLMOps) for reliable, auditable AI agent behaviour.
- Apply agentic automation to operational use cases including anomaly detection, data quality remediation, query diagnosis, documentation generation, and incident summarisation.
- Integrate AI agents with enterprise systems via MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectors, REST APIs, and event-driven messaging architectures.
- Build and maintain semantic data models that expose governed, business-ready datasets to Cortex Analyst and BI tools
- Engage in research and development of new AI and high-performance compute algorithms, models, and simulations along with their applications to solve complex business problems at client sites
- Work with large-scale datasets and utilize data preprocessing techniques to ensure high-quality input for training and production
- Implement and maintain efficient data storage and retrieval mechanisms for models and knowledge using appropriate tools
- Justify the value of model approaches in business problems
- Collaborate with teams from both business and technical sides, including users, use case representatives, business owners, engineers, architects, and UI designers, to achieve end-to-end project goals and integrate into production.
