- Define evaluation frameworks, success metrics, and feedback loops to measure and improve agent performance.
- Build shared tooling and contribute to playbooks that accelerate deployments, while owning reliability, adoption, and business impact.
Requirements
- 4+ years in engineering, technical product/program management, applied AI, or a similar technical role, with a track record of shipping AI/automation systems to production.
- Hands-on experience building with LLMs, agent frameworks, and tool-use patterns (e.g., MCP, function calling, RAG) across the full stack.
- Experience designing and optimizing SQL and/or NoSQL databases, including data modeling, query performance tuning, and schema design.
- Strong ability to decompose human workflows into scalable, agentic systems, grounded in a deep curiosity for how people work.
- High ownership and cross-functional influence, with the ability to quickly build trust across teams and seniority levels.
