Strong hands‐on capabilities in Python, FastAPI, async programming, SQL, and Gen‐AI frameworks, plus frontend skills (React/Angular/Vue) and experience deploying cloud‐native applications, are expected. Proficiency with Gen‐AI tooling (LangChain, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, Hugging Face), RAG systems, vector databases, and ML/DL frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow) is required, along with familiarity with cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) and Docker. The role emphasizes risk considerations, operational standards, and collaboration with users and technology groups to deliver scalable AI-enabled solutions.
