Responsibilities
Build a copilot that answers engineering questions grounded in internal code, design docs, ADRs, runbooks, and service ownership metadata (RAG with citations, traceability, and “show-your-work” behavior)
Create an “architecture assistant” that helps draft and review design proposals: flags missing non-functional requirements (security/privacy/reliability), highlights tradeoffs, and suggests alternatives
Develop agents that can plan and execute multi-step tasks with tool use (e.g., “triage this incident,” “prepare a migration plan,” “generate a release readiness checklist”), producing auditable artifacts
Assist developer workflows: PR scaffolding, test generation/suggestions, regression risk analysis, dependency upgrades, documentation and release-note drafting
Build evaluation harnesses: offline benchmarks, regression suites, groundedness checks, and “golden task” libraries
Add instrumentation for LLM systems: quality metrics, latency/cost tracking, failure mode monitoring, and guardrails
Partner with architecture, platform, and security stakeholders to enable safe internal deployments
Qualification
Required
BS in Computer Science, AI/ML, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
Strong Python skills and the ability to build end-to-end prototypes
Solid ML fundamentals (experimentation, evaluation, and disciplined thinking about failure modes)
Familiarity with LLM/agent building blocks: prompt design, RAG, tool/function calling, structured outputs, and evaluation
Preferred
MS/PhD in AI/ML/LLMs (or closely related area)
First-author publication in a well-reputed conference/journal
Demonstrated skills building LLM-powered chatbots and AI agents (multi-turn, tool use, memory/state, grounding + evals)
Retrieval/ranking experience (embeddings, chunking strategies, reranking)
DevEx or systems background (CI/CD, developer tooling, observability, incident workflows)
