Responsibilities

Forward Deployed Delivery (Prototype to Production)
Rapidly build client-relevant demos and proofs of concept that reflect real BGB workflows (content generation, modular build, review/MLR support, routing, measurement, etc.)
Convert successful prototypes into production-ready implementations with security, access controls, auditability, and documentation
Partner with delivery teams to embed solutions into day-to-day operations, not slideware
Agentic AI and Workflow Automation Implementation
Design and deploy agentic workflows (multi-step, tool-using agents; retrieval and reasoning; human-in-the-loop approvals)
Stand up automation pipelines for repeatable tasks (brief-to-output flows, content QA checks, tagging/classification, summarization, knowledge retrieval)
Build reusable components: templates, agent patterns, evaluation harnesses, and integration adapters
Systems Integration and APIs (Make it all work together)
Write and maintain APIs/services that connect LLM systems to enterprise tools (content repositories, project systems, data stores, analytics, identity/access)
Implement RAG and knowledge services (indexing, retrieval, permission-aware access, citations, provenance)
Orchestrate data flows across systems with strong logging, error handling, and versioning
LLM Ops: Observability, Evaluation, Reliability
Implement LLM observability (traces, cost, latency, quality) and evaluation (offline and online, regression testing, guardrails)
Own the operational reality: monitoring, incident response patterns, rollbacks, prompt/model version control
Establish practical standards for reliability and safety in regulated environments
Enablement (Technical + Practical)
Translate needs into technical designs and explain tradeoffs clearly to non-engineers
Create lightweight playbooks and internal documentation so teams can adopt and extend what you build
Support proposal technical sections and scoping with grounded, buildable architectures

Qualification

Required

Hands-on engineering background (you build systems yourself): strong Python plus one backend stack (TypeScript/Node, .NET, or similar)
Experience deploying LLM applications in real orgs: prompts, tools/function calling, retrieval, evaluation, and iteration loops
Experience with LLM orchestration and building multi-step workflows (agents, DAGs, tool use, human approvals)
Ability to design and implement APIs and integrations across enterprise systems (auth, permissioning, data flow, reliability)
Practical experience with LLM observability and evaluation (quality metrics, regression tests, traces, cost controls)
Comfortable in client-facing or stakeholder-heavy environments: can explain what's possible and what's not clearly

Preferred

Multi-agent systems in production, or agent frameworks at scale
Enterprise automation/workflow experience (process automation, knowledge base integration, CRM/ERP or content systems)
Experience in regulated industries (healthcare/life sciences) including audit trails and compliance constraints
Azure ecosystem experience (Azure AI Foundry or Azure-hosted LLM stacks), plus identity/permissions patterns
Contributions to internal developer platforms, reusable tooling, or open-source
You move fast but don't break trust: pragmatic engineering, strong prioritization, and reliable delivery
You like ambiguity and can turn it into a working system
You're energized by bridging demo and deployment and owning the full lifecycle
