• Define and enforce best practices for: 

• Prompt design and evaluation 

• Agent reliability and guardrails 

• Observability and debugging of AI systems 

• Collaborate with product and design to translate ambiguous requirements into scalable solutions 

• Optimize performance, cost, and reliability of AI workloads 

• Contribute to architectural decisions and technical direction 

• Mentor junior developers and contribute to team knowledge sharing

• Understanding of system design and scalability tradeoffs

• Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects 

• Strong problem-solving and system design thinking 

• Effective communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders
