Mandatory skill: Expertise in LangChain, LlamaIndex, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, or equivalent
Key Responsibilities
Agent Development: Build and orchestrate autonomous AI agents with multi-step reasoning, tool usage, and workflow chaining using frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, or LlamaIndex.
LLM Integration & Optimization: Deploy, fine-tune, and serve open-source LLMs (e.g., Llama 3) using Databricks Model Serving; optimize latency, throughput, and cost.
RAG & Knowledge Systems: Design advanced RAG pipelines leveraging vector search, embeddings, semantic ranking, and enterprise data sources (structured + unstructured).
Context Engineering: Develop prompt strategies, memory frameworks, and metadata tagging to improve contextual accuracy and response quality.
UI & Experience Design: Build intuitive AI-driven applications using Databricks Apps (Streamlit/Dash) or modern web frameworks to enable business consumption.
Data Engineering for AI: Build reliable data pipelines (batch & streaming) supporting training, inference, and feature generation using Delta Lake.
Security & Governance: Implement enterprise-grade controls using Unity Catalog (row/column-level security, lineage, auditability) aligned with compliance standards.
LLM Guardrails & Responsible AI: Implement guardrails (e.g., NeMo Guardrails) for prompt injection prevention, hallucination mitigation, and safe output handling.
MLOps & AIOps: Establish CI/CD pipelines for AI models and agents, including versioning, monitoring, drift detection, observability, and incident response.
Performance & Cost Optimization: Optimize model performance, GPU/compute usage, and inference cost efficiency across environments.
