  • Design and build production-grade AI tools that understand natural language, provide actionable insights, generate reports, and automate complex workflows such as campaign planning, ticket management, and sales enablement.
  • Architect reliable, scalable integrations across internal systems and third-party SaaS (REST/GraphQL APIs, webhooks, OAuth, JWT), establishing best practices for rate limiting, retries, idempotency, and error handling.
  • Lead development of multi-step AI agent architectures using frameworks like LangChain, LangGraph, or MCP, with appropriate human-in-the-loop controls and production-ready evaluation.
  • Establish and enforce AI safety and reliability standards including guardrails, evaluation frameworks, fallback logic, RBAC, audit trails, and PII protections across all AI systems.
  • Design and optimize data pipelines (SQL, Python, dbt) that power AI agents at scale, ensuring reliability, observability, and performance.
  • Create frameworks and templates for rapid prototyping and deployment of new automations, enabling faster time-to-value for future projects.
  • Drive adoption by building intuitive UIs and self-serve experiences (e.g., Slack apps, low-code internal tools) and creating documentation that makes AI tools accessible to non-technical users.
  • Partner with Sales, Partnerships, Product, Engineering, and Data Science leadership to prioritize initiatives, align on roadmaps, and ensure solutions drive measurable business outcomes.
  • Mentor and guide other engineers on AI/LLM best practices, prompt engineering, evaluation frameworks, and production deployment patterns.
