• Ensure reliability, performance, and observability of deployed agents through rigorous testing and continuous improvement.
• Maintain a strong bias for action—delivering incremental, well-tested improvements that directly enhance customer experience.

Required Qualifications

• B.Tech, M.Tech, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field.
• 4-6 years of hands-on industry experience with demonstrable ownership and delivery.
• Strong understanding of machine learning fundamentals, data pipelines, and model evaluation.
• Proficiency in Python and ML/data libraries (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn); familiarity with JVM languages is a plus.
• Working knowledge of LLM core concepts, prompt design, and agentic design patterns.
• Strong communication skills and a passion for shaping emerging AI paradigms.

Desired Qualifications

• Prior experience building and deploying AI agents or LLM applications in production.
