- Evaluate model performance, response quality, hallucination risk, and reliability across different scenarios
- Collaborate with product, data, engineering, and architecture teams to deliver scalable AI solutions
- Implement responsible AI practices including security, privacy, monitoring, explainability, and governance considerations
- Support deployment and release processes using tools such as Azure DevOps, Git, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud environments
- Create documentation, reusable patterns, and technical guidance for GenAI solution development
- Stay current with emerging GenAI frameworks, model capabilities, and best practices
Required Qualifications
- 3+ years of software engineering, data engineering, machine learning, or AI application development experience
