• Hands-on experience with AWS AI/ML services - Bedrock, Strands, AgentCore, SageMaker, or equivalent agentic frameworks
• Strong understanding of agentic patterns: tool use, RAG, memory management, multi-agent orchestration, and human-in-the-loop design
• Experience designing and evaluating LLM pipelines including prompt engineering, output validation, and hallucination mitigation
• Familiarity with AI observability, evaluation frameworks, and responsible AI practices
• Ability to work in an agile environment and communicate complex AI concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience

Personal Characteristics

• Strong coding skills in Python and/or TypeScript; comfort working across the stack as needed
• Experience with AWS cloud infrastructure, IAM, Lambda, and related services; DataDog and GitHub CI/CD a plus
• Curiosity-driven - you stay current with fast-moving AI research and tooling and bring new ideas to the team
