• Take ownership of code quality, testing, and production reliability
• Integrate AI components and agents with internal/external APIs, business systems, and data sources.
• Develop GenAI workflows such as retrieval pipelines, RAG systems, orchestration graphs, and agent-based architectures.
• Stay current with emerging technologies, conduct Proofs of Concept (POCs), and independently drive solution delivery in an agile environment.You are expected to deliver consistently, contribute to improving the codebase and systems you work on, and operate with a production‑first mindset.
• Translate functional requirements into clean, efficient, and maintainable code.
• Contribute to design discussions and document implementation decisions where appropriate.
• Write high‑quality, readable, and testable code aligned with defined engineering standards.
• Develop and maintain automated unit and component tests.
• Identify and address defects, performance issues, and reliability gaps in owned areas.
• Participate in production releases and operational readiness activities.
• Work closely with Product Managers, DevOps, and peer engineers.
