Responsibilities

• Architect and deliver end-to-end LLM solutions – from experimentation to production
• Design evaluation frameworks to benchmark LLM performance, safety, and behaviour
• Build integration layers connecting LLMs to APIs, middleware, and enterprise systems
• Collaborate across teams to drive adoption of modern engineering practices and GenAI tooling

Experience

• Have deployed LLM systems to production and understand evaluation, guard-railing, and monitoring
• Proven experience with distributed systems, event-driven architectures, container-based micro-services, distributed logs, SQL and NoSQL databases, and DevSecOps
• Experience working in a product focused team as opposed to a project focused team is beneficial
