  • Make sound architecture choices across application, data, and cloud services, with attention to scalability, cost, security, and data governance.

  • Work independently and provide technical direction while staying closely involved in implementation.

  • Help test and refine an AI-assisted software development process, with flexibility in the coding tools you use.

Desired Experience:

  • Substantial software engineering experience and strong data engineering fundamentals.

  • Several years building AI applications, such as agents, chatbots, or recommender systems.

  • Direct experience designing, coding, and shipping at least one production-grade application.

  • Deep understanding of LLM and agentic system design, including evaluation and risks such as prompt injection and data leakage.

  • Experience deploying and operating applications in Azure; familiarity with containers, microservices, or event-driven systems is valuable.

  • The judgment to balance delivery speed with long-term reliability—and the ability to lead without stepping away from the code.
