You will leverage cutting-edge LLM and agentic AI technologies to design, build, and maintain AI components to rapidly iterate on user-facing features.

This role requires intellectual curiosity, proactive problem-solving, and the ability to work independently in a fast-evolving, ambiguous environment - we're looking for people who thrive even when the roadmap is still being drawn. Effective communication skills are essential to translate complex AI concepts for non-technical stakeholders and collaborate across product, engineering, and business teams.

You will serve as an internal AI expert, leading efforts to understand and enhance vendor-built systems, develop frameworks for AI agent monitoring, and rapidly prototype and build innovative features that improve accuracy, reliability, and user experience.

Prototype, Develop & Deploy AI Models and Agents

• Design, fine-tune, and deploy LLM-based solutions (e.g., Gemini, Claude, LLaMA, Mistral) for chatbot and business applications.
• Develop AI agents capable of reasoning and multi-step task execution to extend chatbot automation.
• Build frameworks to monitor agent performance, safety, bias, and reliability, integrating human-in-the-loop feedback.
• Rapidly prototype and test new AI-driven tools and solutions based on user feedback and data analysis.

Front-End Development & User Experience Optimization

• Conduct A/B testing and user behavior analysis to optimize chatbot interaction and engagement.
• Collaborate with product and design teams to ensure seamless and effective user experiences.
• Experience with front-end development is a plus for building, maintaining, and improving chatbot user interface components.

Learning, Knowledge Sharing & Collaboration

• Stay current with advancements in Generative AI, LLM technologies, and front-end development best practices.
• Share insights and findings through documentation, presentations, and workshops with team members and stakeholders.
• Act as a subject matter expert internally, helping non-technical teams understand AI capabilities and limitations.

What you will need:

• Education: Master's in Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Engineering, or related fields (required).
• Experience: 6 or more years of related professional experience.
• Unique or Preferred Skills:
• Insatiable intellectual curiosity
