  • Ground AI features in knowledge graphs and ontologies that model the domain and enable semantic search and reasoning over operational data
  • Build and expose reusable AI capabilities via MCP servers that applications and agents can call
  • Integrate machine-learning models and LLM APIs into production applications to enhance insights and decision-making
  • Build agentic workflows that trigger actions and update records, with human approval and audit logging
  • Partner with junior engineers to move models from experiment to reliable, production-grade features

 

Technical Standards & Code Quality


  • Set and enforce application coding standards, design patterns, and engineering best practices across the team
  • Serve as senior reviewer for application code correctness, performance, security, and maintainability
  • Establish CI/CD, automated testing, and version-control workflows for application development
  • Build reusable components, templates, and utilities that accelerate development across the team

 

Technical Leadership & Mentorship


  • Mentor and coach junior software engineers and BI developers
  • Translate ambiguous business problems into project plans and application work
  • Partner with BI leadership on the application roadmap and with stakeholders on requirements and priorities

  • MCP & Tool Interfaces: Builds MCP servers or equivalent tool interfaces that applications and agents call in production
  • Knowledge Graphs & Ontologies: Models domain knowledge as graphs and ontologies to ground AI, power semantic search, and enable reasoning over connected data
  • Cloud & Data Platforms: Familiar with cloud application hosting and modern data platforms (Databricks, AWS, Snowflake, or similar)
  • Engineering Fundamentals: Git, CI/CD, automated testing, code review, and secure-by-default practices

Domain & Problem-Solving

  • Breaks ambiguous business problems into clear, shippable increments and validates assumptions with users
  • Debugs across the stack—front end, API, database, and integrations
  • Weighs trade-offs (build vs. buy, batch vs. real-time, speed vs. reliability) with clear reasoning
  • Experience in supply chain, manufacturing, maintenance, or similar operational domains is a strong plus

Collaboration & Communication


  • Strong communication skills: Explains technical concepts and trade-offs to technical and non-technical audiences
  • Effective collaborator: Works seamlessly with BI developers, data and AI/ML engineers, and business stakeholders
  • Leads by influence: Drives technical direction through evidence and example rather than authority

Personal Attributes


  • Player-coach: Balances hands-on building with mentoring and code review; takes on the hardest problems
  • Quality-focused: Builds reliability, security, and testing in from the start
  • Ownership: Drives applications from design through deployment and continuous improvement
