Description

  • Ability to connect technical execution to business value and present ROI cases to executive leadership.
  • Strong security and compliance mindset focused on data privacy and preventing model hallucinations in mission-critical engineering tasks.
  • Experience designing safe-by-design systems.
  • Experience with agentic design patterns and production AI infrastructure (preferred).
