• Tailor and deploy agentic applications across industries such as finance, healthcare, and retail.

• Conduct design workshops, proofs of concept, and code-with sessions with client stakeholders. • Define and use metrics to measure agent accuracy, latency, safety, and cost efectiveness.

• Process large-scale distributed datasets on the Databricks Intelligence Platform with Apache Spark™.

• Integrate LLM solutions with APIs, model monitoring, and prompt management.

• Operate MLOps / LLMOps pipelines with CI/CD across the ML and LLM lifecycle.

Here's What You Need:

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in Python, Java, or equivalent. Comfortable with evaluation tooling, logging, monitoring, and observability.

  • Minimum 1 year experience in designing and shipping agentic AI solutions in production.

  • Minimum 1 year experience in shipping agentic solutions in production (agents, orchestration, context engineering, RAG, workflows) using AI platforms (OpenAI, Claude, Vertex AI, open source) and Databricks AI tooling (Mosaic AI, Vector Search, Model Serving, MLflow).

  • Minimum 2 years experience in shipping to production: CI/CD, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm), monitoring, and debugging. Practical MLOps and LLMOps experience across the ML and LLM lifecycle (model training, serving, monitoring, prompt management).
